What's involved
What this repair actually is.
An independent technician examines the vehicle you're thinking of buying: full lift inspection for rust, leaks, and accident repair evidence, a computer scan for stored and erased-code clues, a road test, and a check of every major system. You get a written report and a straight answer about what the car needs now and what it will need soon — before you hand over your money.
