Thinking about buying a used vehicle? Don’t take chances. At Frontier Auto & RV Center, our expert Mechanics perform detailed Pre-Purchase Inspections so you can make informed decisions. Whether it’s a car, truck, or SUV, we evaluate the vehicle’s true condition — inside and out.
Investing in a used vehicle without a professional inspection is a gamble. Our Pre-Purchase Inspections are designed to protect you from costly surprises, giving you negotiation power or the confidence to walk away. At Frontier Auto & RV Center, we give you the full picture, not just what the seller wants you to see. Make the smart move — get it inspected first by a team you trust at our Auto Repair Shop conveniently located in Anchorage.
A used vehicle may look great on the surface, but hidden issues can turn your deal into a money pit. Here’s why smart buyers choose a professional inspection:
Without records, you can’t be sure how well the vehicle was cared for — we check everything for you.
We inspect for signs of previous damage, poor repairs, or frame issues that impact safety.
Even if they’re cleared, our tools catch stored codes and hidden system faults.
We road test and evaluate drivetrain, brakes, suspension, and more to uncover hidden problems.
Alaska’s climate can be hard on vehicles — we check for signs of corrosion and fluid leaks.
We compare wear with mileage and review VIN history for accuracy and red flags.
We offer comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspections to help you feel confident before you buy:
We scan for engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, and other system issues — even if the dash looks clear.
Our Mechanics examine the engine, brakes, suspension, steering, belts, hoses, and more for wear or damage.
We check for rust, prior damage, poor repairs, or signs of structural concerns.
We evaluate how the vehicle drives, brakes, shifts, and handles under real conditions.
We assess tread wear, alignment, and braking power to predict upcoming maintenance costs.
We’ll provide clear, honest feedback and let you know what to expect now and in the near future.
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on the type and condition of the vehicle.
Absolutely. We work with both — and encourage all buyers to bring vehicles to us before finalizing the sale.
No, but you’re welcome to wait on-site or we can call you with a full breakdown and send the written report.
That’s a red flag. A reputable seller should never oppose a professional evaluation.
We don’t appraise, but our report helps you assess whether the asking price is fair based on condition and upcoming maintenance.
