Pre-Purchase Inspection Agreement

This is the agreement that applies to every pre-purchase inspection performed by Mobile Mechanic Of Oklahoma City. It is included with your invoice and reproduced here so you can read it before you book. If anything is unclear, ask us before the inspection. Our pre-purchase inspection page describes the service in plain language.

1. Purpose of Inspection

This is a visual, external, and non-invasive mechanical inspection for informational purposes only. The service is not intended to determine the overall condition, safety, or future performance of the vehicle. The inspector does not verify title, odometer accuracy, liens, or accident history.

2. Scope of Inspection

The inspection covers what is visually observable at the time and location of the inspection, a read of the vehicle’s onboard computer for stored trouble codes, and, where the seller permits and the mechanic judges it safe, a brief low-speed road test. The following limitations apply:

  • No dismantling, lifting, or removal of components. Internal engine, transmission, and differential condition cannot be observed and is not covered.
  • A road test is not guaranteed. It depends on the seller’s permission, the vehicle’s condition, and the location.
  • A code read reports only the codes stored at the time of the inspection. It cannot show codes that were cleared before the inspection.
  • No guarantees are made regarding internal engine or transmission condition, previous repairs, or hidden problems.
  • No emissions, state, or safety certification is provided.

3. Client’s Acknowledgment of Risk

By paying this agreement, the Client expressly acknowledges:

  • That purchasing a used vehicle is inherently risky.
  • That the mechanic is providing only an opinion based on limited observation, not a warranty or guarantee.
  • That no inspection can identify every possible issue.
  • That the decision to purchase the vehicle is the Client’s alone.

4. Complete Release of Liability

The Client agrees to fully release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mobile Mechanic Of Oklahoma City and its employees, agents, and representatives from any and all civil, criminal, financial, or third-party claims arising from or related to:

  • Missed or undiscovered vehicle defects
  • Mechanical failure after inspection
  • Accidents or injuries caused by the vehicle
  • Financial loss or dissatisfaction
  • Any issues with the seller, title, or transaction

This release applies to any and all claims, whether based in negligence, oversight, misstatement, or otherwise. This includes claims by third parties (e.g., future vehicle owners or passengers) and applies even if the inspector was allegedly at fault.

5. No Warranty – No Guarantee – No Refund

The Client agrees and understands that:

  • This service comes with no warranty or guarantee of any kind, express or implied.
  • The inspector is not liable for the vehicle’s future performance or safety.
  • No refunds will be issued once the inspection is completed.
  • The client may not pursue damages, chargebacks, or legal action against the mechanic for any reason related to the vehicle.

6. Non-Reliance Clause

The Client affirms they are not relying on this inspection as the sole basis for making a financial or legal decision. This inspection is informational only, and the Client is responsible for performing all due diligence and making the final decision to purchase.

7. Governing Law & Disputes

Any disputes arising from this agreement will be resolved in the county and state where Mobile Mechanic Of Oklahoma City is headquartered. The Client agrees to waive the right to jury trial and to pursue claims only through private mediation or binding arbitration.
