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.
At Sil’s Auto Care Centre in Clarkson, ON, our pre-purchase inspection includes a thorough evaluation of the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, and safety systems. Here’s what you can expect from our inspection:

Sil's is the only Auto Service provider that our extended family uses (5 cars in total). Whether it's regular maintenance or "emergency" fixes needed, Carlo and his team look after us promptly, and very fairly. Invoices are clearly laid out and there is follow up the next day after each visit to make sure things are good. I would highly recommend Sil's as the place to take your vehicle if you're anywhere in Oakville or Mississauga.

Best experience Ive had at an auto body shop in my 15 years of driving. First time customer, will be returning for any and all future car needs. Had been running around trying to diagnose a problem with my vehicle across multiple different mechanics, it was a very inconvenient situation having to try and manage dealing with addressing the issue and work life at the same time. Stumbled upon Sil’s online, saw the wonderful reviews it had received and noticed the “shuttle service/loaner vehicle” description, which caught my attention obviously as that would be extremely helpful with not missing any time at work. Right away when you walk in you can see/sense the professionalism, I’ve never seen a front office look in an auto body shop, They take a great deal of pride in their work and the transparency I received (via text and email) after they inspected/diagnosed my car was out of this world. Nothing I’ve ever experienced with other mechanics even came close to the detail. I walked in for the first time a complete stranger had the pleasure of speaking with Carlo, After talking for a few minutes and going for a quick drive with one of the mechanics, I was ready to leave my car in their hands for them to do the job and I was given a loaner vehicle free of charge as a complete stranger just leaving my credit card on file and a photocopy of my ID. This was Monday, My car was ready by noon Wednesday, Driving like new. 11/10Experience, 5 Stars, ect ect, Would hands-down recommend to anyone that would listen to me. Thank you to the whole team at Sil’s from one of what I imagine is MANY satisfied customers.

The best auto service center, bar none. Great professional staff. Keep you informed as they diagnose your engines issues. Warranty provided on all parts and labour. Few shops provide this level of service and at a fair price.

Took my 10 year old CRV in for a Safety Inspection prior to transfer to my son. Service and subsequent advice was expedient and complete. I would easily consider returning for any subsequent service requirement.

The team at Sil’s Complete Auto are awesome - they’re friendly, professional, and honest. I took my car to Sil’s for regular maintenance check and oil change. Service was completed in a timely manner and within quoted price. Car was even washed and vacuumed! Better service than any dealer I’ve been to. I will be coming here for all my automotive work.
