Default LF a mechanic to inspect a used vehicle

I'm shopping around for a used vehicle and need to find a reliable mechanic to do an inspection before buying. I'm near 10th St & 16th Ave NW. The closer to me the better.

Any recommendations?

Right down the street from you, Lorie at Apollo Muffler on 16th and... 7th Ave, maybe? Good guy, trustworthy.

Go with Inspectacar, unbiased 3rd party advice because they don't do any of the work in house

Used them in Dec when my sister was purchasing a used car. They were prompt, diligent and thorough. Check out their website as they have an introductory 10% coupon that you can use.

They also appeared on Dragon's Den a few years back and struck a deal with Treliving I think...

Thanks for the tips regarding Inspectacar. I like the 3rd party objectiveness aspect! Think I'll go that route.

And thanks, Sr. Mints, on the recommendation of Lorie at Apollo Muffler near me. I'll check him out next time I need a mechanic.
