PDX Autoworks has been serving Portland Oregon residents with quality used car inspections since 2011 and have grown to enjoy helping our customers purchase safe, reliable and good vehicles for their families.
Coming from the used car business where everyone is out to make a dollar by cutting corners has been a wake up call for us and we're here to inform our customers of all the tricks of the trade. We have extensive experience in inspecting vehicles that are used and can usually tell rather quickly if a car has had extensive mechanical, body or structural repairs completed to it.

If your looking to buy a Used car in the Portland metropolitan area, dont risk the headache of not having the car Inspected by a Professional Car Inspector. Many times all it takes is a simple 1 hr appointment for our professionals to come out, check out the car and send you the report of what we've found - many times, vehicles need engine repairs or auto parts replaced.
Many folks have asked us many of these questions when looking to buy a car, especially in Oregon, as there are some rules to how titles and registration are obtained in Oregon that defers from other states.

I cannot recommend Daniel's inspection highly enough. He showed me in meticulous detail everything that was right and wrong with the car I was looking at. It was like archeology. I lost count of how many things he examined. He answered so many questions about the car's systems and maintenance needs. His thorough inspection highlighted a significant failure that would have cost me thousands or even totalled the vehicle. ...and this was at a DEALERSHIP! Needless to say I ended up walking away from the sale. You could bring your car to a shop for a slightly cheaper inspection and hope they do a good

Amazing business. Needed a used car inspected with little time to do it and PDX went above and beyond. They give you a completely detailed report, pictures, carfax and more. Can't say enough about this business and how they saved us from getting ripped off! Highly recommend this to anyone interested in getting a car inspected.

Fantastic service! I've never bought a car before from anyone other than a friend or family member and I was considering purchasing a 10 year old car from a lot that I didn't get the best vibes from. I loved the car, so I figured it was at least worth it to have it inspected. I am SO glad I did- Daniel ended up finding some pretty severe leaks and other issues that would have been super expensive to fix. He sent an incredibly detailed report and took the time that same evening (a Saturday no less) to talk with me, go over his findings, and give me honest advice. His thorough inspection empowered

Dan is the man! I live in Seattle so for him to do his inspection at the dealership, since I’m not local, allowed me to be really sure of the car and know I wasn’t going to waste time and money because Dan’s inspection was very trusting. He was very thorough, he found even the littlest things to point out to me about the car. He presented all his findings in an organized and in very specific details with pictures. He even spoke to me after the inspection because I had follow up questions. You will get your moneys worth from Dan. Highly recommend him!

Daniel came out within two hours of my call to inspect a used car at the dealership where had just test driven the car we wanted to buy. He showed up quickly, his inspection was incredibly thorough, and his explanation of the condition of the car was very detailed and helpful. He found a few issues with the car, some small, some not so small, and gave me all the information I needed to negotiate the car purchase. His advice was solid and I felt very confident going into the negotiation. We ended up not buying the car because the scheisty used car dealer didn't want to drop his price even though

Polite and professional, Daniel inspected a used Infiniti for me and exposed myriad problems (leaks galore). His reports, Carfax and images were comprehensive and extremely helpful. Ultimately the seller wouldn't budge on the asking price, so the $220 spent on the inspection was a bit of a drag, but the immediate repairs were close to $2,000 so it was still worth it for peace of mind (and wallet), as I was steered away from a potential money pit.
Highly recommended!

I can’t recommend PDX Autoworks enough! Daniel was very polite, professional and extremely thorough in his inspection. He explained his assessment in a way that was both very detailed but also understandable for a non-car savvy person. He identified an issue with the power steering rack so that I could point it out to the dealership, who then agreed to fix it for me. And his service was so convenient while I was rushing to find a replacement car; he came all the way out to Wilsonville to check out the car with only a day’s notice. Thank you Daniel, already loving my new Mazda!

So happy I went with PDX Autoworks! I was going back and forth on getting someone to checkout a used car I found at a dealership because it only had 21,000 miles and the dealership said they "Run all cars through a thorough inspection" and I "Didn't need to get it inspected because it is still under warrenty"... Welp I went with my gut and was able to make an appointment for the next day with Daniel. He ended up finding a huge oil leak under the car, a coolant leak and a cracked rare tail light that had moisture inside it. Needless to say it saved me from buying a lemon. You get a super detailed

Daniel was extremely proffesional, knowledgeable and timely. With his extensive experience, he showed me typical areas for faults and explained the whole process as he worked. He is very personable and knows the used car market extremely well. I can confidently say he saved me thousands of dollars of repairs by identifying some major flaws in the vehicle.

We had this BMW inspected by PDX Autoworks and we are So Happy with their EXCELLENT SERVICE! Daniel even sent us thermal image of the seat warmer/heater and showed us which ones didn't work. We made a Same-day appointment and he came out to the car to inspect it and then we discussed the whole inspection report on the spot. We couldn't be happier with the mobile inspection service and we highly recommend them to anyone buying a user car!

I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The Mercedes I want is in Portland. I am going to purchase and ship, sight unseen. I called PDX Autoworks. Within 6 hours, they have inspected the car, talked to me about it on the phone, delivered pictures and a full, professsional report, at a price I think is fair. Can't wait to see the car. The dealer is going to fix the couple of minor issues. I will update my review when the car arrives. Thanks PDX!
