When you're buying a used car, it’s easy to feel confident after seeing a “Clean Carfax” report. But here’s the truth:
Carfax doesn’t catch everything. And that clean report could be hiding expensive problems.
At Andujar Auto Inspector, we’ve inspected cars with clean Carfax reports that still had:
Frame damage
Rust and corrosion
Oil and coolant leaks
Repaired body panels and mismatched paint
Failed emissions equipment
Worn suspension or tires
Hidden engine trouble codes
⚠️ Why Carfax Isn’t Enough
Carfax is helpful — but it only reports what’s been officially documented (like insurance claims, DMV records, or reported repairs). That means:
❌ Minor accidents or backyard repairs might not be reported❌ Dealerships can clear trouble codes before you test drive❌ A car can look perfect and still have major hidden issues
✅ What You Get With a Pre-Purchase Inspection
When you book with Andujar Auto Inspector, here’s what we actually do:
🔍 Scan the entire car’s computer system (including hidden fault codes)🔧 Check for leaks, rust, frame damage, and poor repairs🧪 Inspect suspension, brakes, fluids, tires, and electrical systems📸 Send you a full report with pictures and expert recommendations🚐 We come to the car’s location — mobile service anywhere in Massachusetts!
💸 Save Thousands Before You Buy
A recent customer was about to buy a $12,000 car with a clean Carfax…Our inspection revealed engine leaks, hidden codes, and mismatched paint from an unreported accident. That report saved them thousands — and a massive headache.
🧠 The Bottom Line:
Carfax is just one piece of the puzzle. If you're spending thousands on a used car, don't skip the professional inspection.
