Sound familiar
Most sellers are not going to tell you about hidden problems. These are the situations buyers run into when they skip a professional inspection.
A car can look and drive fine on a short test drive and still have serious internal damage that costs thousands to fix. A diagnostic scan catches fault codes the seller may not mention.
Faulty wiring, bad sensors, and failing modules rarely show up on a visual walk-around. Our technicians run a full electrical system check so nothing is missed.
Knowing what repairs a car needs gives you real numbers to negotiate with. Without that information, you have no leverage and no protection.
Some vehicles are sold precisely because the owner knows costly repairs are coming. A thorough inspection before you buy puts you on equal footing.
Jordan Auto Repairs has been serving vehicle owners in Jacksonville for years. Our experienced local repair team knows where problems hide and what to look for before a buyer signs anything.
When you bring a car to us before purchasing, we treat it the same way we would treat any vehicle a long-term customer drives in. We connect our diagnostic equipment to the vehicle's computer to read every stored and pending fault code. We also inspect the engine, brakes, suspension, electrical system, and fluid levels by hand.
At the end of the inspection, you receive a printed report that lists every issue we found along with its severity. You leave knowing exactly what the car needs and roughly what those repairs cost. That information belongs to you, whether you decide to buy the car or not.
If you choose to have any repairs done with us after your purchase, our Up to 2-Year Warranty on Parts & Labor covers that work. Customers who approve repairs in the shop also receive a free diagnostic on those specific items. We believe you should never feel like you are guessing when it comes to your vehicle.
The process is straightforward. Bring the car to our shop and we handle the rest. Here is what happens from the moment you arrive.
Bring the car you are considering buying to our Jacksonville shop. Let us know you want a pre-purchase inspection and we will get it checked in right away.
Our technicians connect to the vehicle's computer system and read all fault codes. They also physically inspect the brakes, suspension, engine bay, fluids, and electrical components.
We walk you through everything we found in plain language. You get a printed report listing each issue and its severity. No jargon, no pressure, just the facts.
The report is yours to keep. Use it to negotiate the price, ask the seller to fix items, or walk away from the deal. If you buy the car and want repairs done here, we are ready to help.
Our work
Take a look at the equipment and environment where your inspection takes place. We keep a clean, organized shop because that is how we work.
Why us
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave with your report, here is what you can expect as a customer.
You tell us what car you are looking at and we tell you what to watch for. No runaround, no upselling on services you did not ask about.
We do not hand you a list of codes and walk away. A technician goes through each item with you so you understand what it means and how serious it is.
Your printed inspection report is yours to keep. Show it to the seller, a family member, or another shop. We have nothing to hide and neither should the car.
Our job is to give you accurate information. What you do with it is your decision. We are here if you need repairs, but there is no obligation to use us.
Most inspections are completed the same day. You will not be left waiting days for results while the seller moves on to another buyer.
A pre-purchase inspection is only as good as the people running it. Here is what backs up the work we do.
We use the same type of scan tools that dealerships use. These tools read every module in the vehicle, not just the engine, giving us a complete picture of the car's condition.
Many shops skip a thorough electrical check during a pre-purchase inspection. Our technicians are trained to test wiring, modules, and sensors as part of the standard process.
If you buy the car and bring it back for repairs, our Up to 2-Year Warranty on Parts & Labor applies. That commitment reflects how confident we are in the quality of our work.

had made a harsh right turn and popped my tire, broke down right in front of their shop and they took me in right away, really cheap prices and good quality as well. got a used tire for only $55 and getting an alignment done for only $90. so grateful for the guys who helped me today!! yall were very attentive and helpful. i highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap local good quality shop near them!
2026-05-20I remember back in august 2023 I went on a solo trip to FL and rented a car that was having trouble with the air tire pressure light on the dashboard. I tried to explain my best to the man that helped me since english isn't my first language and I was so nervous. He solved it in less than 10mins and didnt even charged me a cent. The humanity, humbleness and gentleness prevailed. amazing service 100% recommended.
