Purchasing a used vehicle can be a great way to save money, but ensuring that you’re making a sound investment is essential. A pre-purchase inspection at Sil’s Auto Care Centre can help you make an informed decision by comprehensively evaluating the vehicle’s condition.
Our experienced and certified technicians will thoroughly examine the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, and safety systems during a pre-purchase inspection. This includes a detailed examination of the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical system, tires, and other components. We will also perform a road test to evaluate the vehicle’s handling and performance.
Our pre-purchase inspection aims to identify any potential issues that could impact the vehicle’s performance or safety. By identifying these issues, we can provide you with a detailed report that can help you negotiate the price of the vehicle or make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase it.
There are several benefits to getting a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used car:
Identifies hidden issues: A pre-purchase inspection can uncover any hidden problems or defects that the seller may not disclose. This could include issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, or other critical components.
Avoids costly repairs: By identifying potential issues early, a pre-purchase inspection can help you avoid costly repairs or maintenance that may be required shortly after purchasing the vehicle.
Provides peace of mind: Knowing the vehicle’s actual condition can provide peace of mind and help you make an informed decision when investing in a used car.
Negotiating power: If the inspection reveals any issues, you can use the report to negotiate the price of the vehicle or request that the seller address any necessary repairs before completing the sale.

I reached out to Sil’s regarding having an old car certified. Both Susan and Tommy were helpful and pleasant to deal with. They cleary outlined what needed to be completed. I will be brining my cars back to get serviced.

I just needed major engine work on my Honda CRV and as usual, Sil's did a great job! It runs like new. Highly recommended!

I want to express my gratitude to Carlo and his amazing team for solving the pulling issue with my Lexus. I had taken my car to the dealership multiple times without any success and ended up paying them a couple of times. It reached a point where I was told that the only solution was to replace several parts, with a bill of over $3,000. This didn't make any sense to me until I found this shop and met Carlo. He provided a reasonable explanation and a step-by-step diagnosis, which gave me confidence in his approach. I trusted his shop and got my car fixed for a fraction of what the dealership quoted, without replacing unnecessary parts. Thank you, Carlo

I have been going to Sil's for about a year for my oil changes and yesterday I took my car over to have the bumper/quarter panel reattached after running over a bicycle. They kindly fit me in and attached/replaced the broken clips and got me on my way without charge. I appreciate the great service and they also offer free drop off and pick up service when leaving your car for an oil change.

Second time using SIL’s and it won’t be the last. High integrity mechanic I highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience at Sil’s Auto today! As someone who just moved to this community, I felt very welcomed. Susan is such a kind person—she warmly explained the issues with my car and what repairs were needed, along with the costs involved. With little knowledge of car maintenance, I appreciated that she even wrote down the problems my car had, the parts I needed to buy, and their prices. When I received my car, it was very clean inside. The value here is excellent. I highly recommend Sil’s Auto and will definitely be coming back.
