Master Tech did the brakes on my BMW, they also checked over the full car, and advised with photos what else is recommended. They did a great job and also were able to show me the older brakes. I highly recommend them for any maintenance or repairs!

Our technicians take the time to evaluate key vehicle systems, identify existing concerns, and provide a clear picture of the vehicle’s overall condition. This allows you to understand what you’re buying and make a decision based on facts rather than assumptions.

Every inspection is performed with accuracy and attention to detail. Instead of focusing only on immediate problems, we look for signs of future maintenance needs and potential reliability concerns. Whether you’re purchasing from a dealership, private seller, or considering a family vehicle, a thorough pre-purchase inspection gives you valuable insight before you commit.

Important Issues a Vehicle Inspection Can Uncover
Discovering these concerns early can help you make informed decisions, negotiate with confidence, or avoid a vehicle that may require significant repairs. A professional inspection can help identify:
Engine performance concerns or unusual noises
We will identify engine performance issues or abnormal noises such as knocking, ticking, misfires, hesitation, rough idling, or excessive vibration that may indicate internal wear, poor combustion, or failing components. Detecting these symptoms before purchase helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, reduces the risk of costly repairs, and provides a clearer understanding of the engine’s reliability.
Battery, alternator, and electrical system faults
Inspections can identify electrical system faults and battery-related issues, including a weak or failing battery, charging system problems, faulty wiring, malfunctioning sensors, blown fuses, or warning light concerns. Detecting these issues before purchase helps prevent unexpected electrical failures, reduces the risk of costly repairs, and ensures the vehicle’s critical systems are functioning properly.
Tire condition and alignment concerns
Pre-purchase inspection can identify tire wear issues and alignment problems such as uneven or premature tread wear, improper inflation effects, cupping or feathering patterns, and signs of poor wheel alignment or suspension wear that may affect handling and safety. Detecting these concerns before purchase helps prevent unexpected tire replacement costs, improves driving stability, and ensures the vehicle is operating as intended.
Fluid leaks or neglected maintenance
We can detect fluid leaks from the engine, transmission, cooling system, brakes, power steering, or differential that may indicate worn seals, failing gaskets, or other developing mechanical issues. It can also uncover signs of deferred or inadequate maintenance, including worn belts and hoses, contaminated or low fluids, overdue service intervals, aging filters, and other neglected components.
Cooling system issues that may affect reliability
Cooling system problems such as coolant leaks, degraded hoses, a malfunctioning radiator or water pump, thermostat failure, or signs of past overheating that may compromise engine temperature regulation. Detecting these issues before purchase helps prevent potential engine damage, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures the vehicle maintains safe and reliable operating temperatures.
Previous collision repairs or improper fixes
A pre-purchase inspection can identify signs of previous accident damage or substandard repairs, including mismatched paint, improper panel alignment, frame damage, replacement body panels, poor welds, or non-factory repair work. Detecting these issues before purchase helps verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, uncover hidden damage, and ensure you make a more informed buying decision.
Brake wear and suspension damage
We can find excessive brake wear and suspension damage such as worn brake pads and rotors, uneven braking performance, leaking hydraulic components, as well as worn shocks, struts, bushings, or damaged control arms that may affect vehicle stability and stopping power. Detecting these issues before purchase helps ensure safe handling and braking performance, while preventing unexpected repair costs and uncovering signs of neglect or hard use.
Transmission problems or shifting issues
Transmission concerns such as delayed or harsh shifting, slipping gears, shuddering, fluid leaks or contamination, and abnormal noises that may indicate internal wear or developing mechanical failure. Detecting these issues before purchase helps prevent costly transmission repairs, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, and ensures the vehicle delivers smooth and reliable performance.

Darren, store manager, and his crew do a terrific job! I feel very confident taking my vehicle to Master Tech even though we now as live in Tigard. Its well worth the trip.
They have a great system of photo documenting what they find during their inspection, and allowing you to access it online. Makes for simple ‘menu’ style of what should/could be repaired or replaced. They also work very quickly.

I dropped off my Escalade, let them know the problem and they explained what was wrong in clear terms with possible options, even gave me a breakdown with pictures. Can’t beat that.
I was able to schedule regular maintenance on short notice. The diagnostic showed a couple of things that needed immediate attention , which they were able to complete on the same visit. My 2001 Honda is running better now than it has in years!
