Inspection by repair shops

Today’s vehicles have become very sophisticated that most repair shops specialize on only a certain few aspects of the vehicle. Imagine how much trouble you will have to go through if there is a used car you are interested in buying, and you had to first take the car to an engine diagnostic shop, then to a transmission repair shop, an air-conditioning repair shop, a brake shop and a body structure/panel repair shop, etc., hoping to get each of the specific areas properly inspected before making the final decision.On the other hand, you may choose to take the used car to a full-service/dealership repair shop, but there is no incentive for them to re-assign their best mechanics (with the most experience) from a high revenue return repair tasks to carry out a time consuming and lower revenue return pre-purchase inspection. It will be more than likely that a junior mechanic, with limited experience and limited knowledge, will get to perform the inspection checks on the used car.Also, there exists a conflict of interest for repair shops to perform such type of inspection task as they will expect you to have repairs done by them if they found any faults with the car.
