A Pre-Purchase Inspection, at Tyrolf Automotive LLC, is a great way to know the current condition of the vehicle you are considering for purchase. However, it is Not a Guarantee or Warranty for the short or long term reliability of the vehicle.

Why Tyrolf Automotive for Used Vehicle Inspections?

  • 24 Years Experience. I have spent my career working for Auto Wholesalers and Dealerships, including 13 years with CARMAX, the nation's largest used vehicle dealer, where I was responsible for execution of the quality inspection of nearly 80,000 vehicles. I was a member of the original team that created the Quality Inspection Process.
  • I do not sell vehicles, nor do I have any ties to any dealers.
  • You are the only potential income for Tyrolf Automotive. The disadvantage of having the vehicle checked out at a competing dealer is that they have an interest in selling you their vehicle. Many Dealers pay incentives to Service Department Associates for Sales Leads.
