Pre-Purchase Heavy Equipment Inspections, YVR to Hope
Don't buy someone else's problem. Before you buy a used machine privately, from a dealer or at auction, we inspect it where it sits and tell you what you're really getting.
What we check
- Engine (start-up, blow-by, leaks, fluids)
- Oil samples
- Hydraulics (pump and cylinder performance, hoses, leaks, cycle times)
- Undercarriage wear
- Swing and travel
- Electrical and fault codes (with dealer diagnostic software where available)
- Structure and welds
- Pins and bushings
- Cab and controls
- Service history
What you get
A written report with photos, fault codes, wear measurements, and a list of repairs needed now and soon, so you can negotiate or walk away. Oil sample results take 2 to 5 days to come back from the lab.
Flat-rate inspections starting at $1,000, plus travel and taxes.
How fast we get there
Regular hours are Monday to Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call or text with the make, model, problem and machine location. We will confirm crew availability, parts and the timing of your visit with you.
