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 Downtown, 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:

Suspension and steering inspection: We’ll examine the suspension and steering components for any signs of wear or damage, including the shocks, struts, tie rods, and ball joints.
Electrical system inspection: We’ll examine the electrical system for any issues, including the battery, alternator, and starter.

Tommy at Sil’s was my angel with a terrible car experience- my engine was breaking down at 5, and he told me to bring it in right away and he would look at it; on the way my engine seized and I had to get a tow- he waited until I got there and then gave me a loaner car! I was able to get home as I lived far away and he let me keep the car for two nights until I came back into town! He also gave me a great price on the inspection and told me about the recalls for my vehicle- I can’t thank him enough for saving me on a really bad day. He is extremely knowledgeable, and an angel in tough times, I will use Sil’s from now on

Great staff, Great Service. Brought my car here for a pre purchase inspection. They sent me a fully online report with what was checked and what needs replacing with photos.

You will not find a more caring company with such attention to detail. Susan and Terry are so helpful; going above and beyond to help me with car related things...eg. where to get a trailer hitch and bike rack. Carlo, the owner clearly loves his work and his clients. We moved to Niagara-on-the-lake 6 years ago and I still go back for regular service on both our Lincoln snd Lexus.

We have 3 cars serviced at Sils and always appreciate their customer experience and quality of work. The team does a great job communicating work to be done with clear descriptions and level of priority. I was recommended to use Sil’s 14 years ago by a friend and recommend to others whenever I can.

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.
