Complete Vehicle Evaluation

            As part of our Complete Vehicle Evaluation, Sant Automotive will subject the vehicle you designate to a 78 point inspection. We check everything from safety items like brakes, power steering systems, suspensions, tires, and lighting to maintenance items like motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. We check for damage like dents, dings, tears in the seats and upholstery, and we look for signs of hidden damage. We explain which items are safety concerns, which items can wait, and we will make you aware of minor items that you may not have noticed.

            Our Evaluations have utility in two scenarios: when you are considering buying a used vehicle or when you are considering a big investment in the maintenance or repair of an existing one. In either scenario, it is an excellent time for a Complete Vehicle Evaluation.

            Many services will tell you the history of a vehicle, but these services only capture information that is related to a vehicle’s title. A report based on a vehicle’s VIN may tell you if a vehicle has been in a flood but probably only if an insurance claim was made. Our evaluation has the ability to tell you if a vehicle has been in a flood and will likely tell you which specific components have been damaged or are at risk. A VIN based history report may never tell you if the seller’s 18 year old has been four wheeling
in the 2009 Grand Prix that you are considering. The physical condition of the vehicle is almost always more important than the title history.

            We will provide an estimate to fix identified concerns. If that 2009 Grand Prix has a hole in the oil pan plus broken motor mounts and leaking shocks, it may still be a good buy if the price is right.

            We specialize in complete customer satisfaction, and we provide value to our customers with every visit. Make Sant Automotive your choice for peace of mind and satisfaction.
