| Any recommendations on a trusted shop in the DMV for a pre-purchase inspection on a used car? |

I highly recommend Backlick Road Service Station in Annandale. We’ve been taking our cars there for at least 15 years. I think we’ve bought 3 used cars in that time and always had them do the pre-purchase inspection. As I recall, we opted not to buy one particular vehicle as a result. Forget the inspections and warranties offered by used car dealerships....I want to know the inspection results from the mechanics at Backlick Road Service Station!
It’s a family run business. The shop is known for being extremely honest and doing excellent work. I’ve always thought of the shop as specializing in Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans, but that may no longer be the case. (We have only bought Toyotas and Hondas.) |
