Located in the Tucson Area, it's our goal to help our customers make an informed decision prior to purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. We will provide you with a written unbiased report and photos identifying any problems that we find at the time of the inspection. Every inspection we perform is based on a checklist which includes either testing or visually assessing the items on the checklist.
We make it our top priority to make sure you are 100% satisfied. My name is Joe Accardo and I have more than 40 years experience in the automotive industry. I started my career working for my Dad at the age of 13 in his auto repair and paint/body business. After high school I enlisted in the US Navy and worked as a aviation mechanic on the McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom.

I bought a used Toyota Tundra remotely from New Mexico, and was very happy I found Joe and Phoenix Car Inspection. Joe was friendly, professional, easy to communicate with, and he did a thorough job inspecting the truck. I felt at ease making the purchase sight unseen after viewing his report. I highly recommend his service if you’re shopping for a used vehicle in Phoenix. I’ve had the truck for several days now, and so far it looks and drives great. Thanks, Joe!

Joe was the biggest help when it came time to purchasing a new vehicle! I was buying from out of state and needed honest eyes to do an pre-purchase inspection. Not only did he do the most thorough inspection, he also found all the minor details and issues allowing me the opportunity to have them fixed at the dealership. Without Joe's help, I would have spent money on repairs that ended up being covered by the dealership. Highly recommend his company, his honesty and attention to the details will save you money!

I was buying a 2017 Audi Q7 out of state so booked an inspection with Joe at Phoenix Pre-Purchase Car Inspection. Joe was responsive, efficient and super knowledgeable. He liaised with the dealership to arrange the inspection, gave me a breakdown over the phone plus emailed an incredibly thorough report about the car's condition. Joe noticed a squeaking sound with the electronic steering column adjustment. The dealer looked at it and fixing is covered under warranty. If Joe hadn't pointed it out I probably would have just lived with the squeak every time I got in the car. The inspection gave me

Joe did an outstanding job doing my pre-purchase inspection. He is fast to respond and he found a few undisclosed minor issues that I was able to use in the negotiations and reduced the sell price of the car. He goes out of the way to explain the inspection and answer all the questions. I would definitely use Joe again.

I had Joe do an inspection for me of a truck (rust free) I was looking at to have shipped back to the midwest. Joe didn't ask for payment until he was sure he could schedule the inspection. He was good at keeping me in the loop and called me as soon as he completed the inspection to give me a verbal summary. Written report followed same day. I bought the truck, had it shipped to me and haven't found anything that wasn't as Joe described.

It is very hard to purchase a car long distance without seeing it. I rely on an inspection to do a good job and be my eyes. I NEVER leave reviews but because of my wonderful experience with Joe I was very excited to do this review! He was obviously knowledgeable and a mechanic. He knows what to look for and is not working for the seller, he is working for me! I had him inspect a classic car for me and he found many many issues that would have been very expensive to fix. The car was not represented like it actually was and Joe saved me from a $23K potential lemon. You are not dealing with a contracted
