Buying a used car? We inspect it at the seller's location so you know exactly what you're getting.
Where the used cars actually are in Brampton. Dealer volume runs along Queen Street East near the 410, the Steeles Avenue East cluster around Torbram, and the Kennedy Road South strip. But Brampton's real used-car market is private: Bramalea, Heart Lake, Springdale, Castlemore, Mount Pleasant, Fletcher's Meadow, Sandalwood and the Four Corners downtown. It is one of the highest-volume private-sale markets in the region, and volume brings both good deals and the people who exploit them.
The curbsider check matters more here than anywhere. "Selling for a friend", "not my car", "helping my cousin", that's a flip dressed up as a private sale, and Brampton sees a lot of it. The single fastest fraud check in the whole deal is point 4 of the inspection: the name on the ownership has to match the person standing in front of you. Points 1 through 3 then match the dash VIN to the door-jamb sticker to the under-hood stamp, and point 5 reads the odometer against pedal, wheel and seat wear. Five minutes, and it's the difference between a private sale and someone else's problem.
What Brampton driving does to a car. Queen, Bovaird, Airport and Steeles are stop-and-go all day, which is the hardest possible life for brakes and the easiest way to fill a listing with "new brakes" that turn out to be fresh pads on lipped rotors, pads get measured in millimetres per corner for exactly that reason. Add the 410 and 407 salt spray to brake lines and subframe seams, and a heavy share of high-km family SUVs and minivans where the honest negotiation items are suspension, cooling and belts rather than anything dramatic.
A pre-purchase inspection is the one job with a published flat price, no parts and no unknowns, so nothing about it needs a phone call first. Fill this in, pick a real window, and it’s held. Then you get a pre-written text for Fares and one for the seller.
This is the step most buyers skip, because they assume the answer is no. Framed properly it almost never is: about an hour where the car already sits, nothing taken apart, nothing removed, they keep the keys, and they get a copy of the report.
An inspection usually ends with two or three worn items, that’s normal on a used car and it’s the useful part. The published sample report ends with rear pads and rotors, a tired battery and a cracked serpentine belt. All three are driveway jobs.
So if the inspection turns up work you want done, and you buy the car and have Fares do that work in Brampton, the inspection fee comes off the repair. You pay for the inspection either way, you just don’t pay for it twice. Published ranges: brakes $200–$700 per axle · battery, alternator and starter $180–$1,100 installed · serpentine belt $150–$650 · suspension $350–$1,500 · cooling $250–$900. All from the same published rate card.
And before you even book: paste the listing into the free listing check for the documented weak points on that exact year, make and model, or read all 150 inspection points, numbered.

Every pre-purchase inspection job we do in Brampton is complete, not a band-aid. Here's what's covered:
Watch for these, catching it early saves money and prevents bigger damage:
Yes, that's the whole point of mobile. Fares goes to the seller's location anywhere in Brampton: a Springdale or Bramalea driveway, a Mount Pleasant street, a lot off Queen East. The seller stays with the car, nothing gets taken apart, nothing is removed, and they get a copy of the report too. There's a pre-written text above to send them, plus a page written for the seller you can just forward.
Yes. Bramalea, Heart Lake, Springdale, Castlemore, Mount Pleasant, Fletcher's Meadow, Sandalwood, Downtown and the Queen Street corridor. Fares comes to the driveway, the workplace lot, or the dealer lot, wherever the car is parked in Brampton. No tow, no drop-off.
Call or text 647-450-0406 if you'd rather talk, but you don't have to. Use the booking above: the windows that are actually open (two-hour slots between 9am and 7pm, Monday to Saturday, he only takes two jobs a day, so what you see is what's genuinely left), held the second you pick one, plus a pre-written text for the seller. A pre-purchase inspection has a published flat price, no parts and no unknowns, so it's the one job that doesn't need a phone call first.
$120–$250 flat. That’s the published price and it’s the whole price, no parts, no add-ons, no hourly rate. Three published packages, $149, $249 or $399, and you pick the depth; the price is confirmed in writing when you book. Full breakdown on the PPI cost page.
All 150 are published and numbered across 14 systems, so you can count them yourself before booking: identity and paperwork (8), scan tool and electronics (12), engine and under-hood (18), fluids (10), cooling (10), belts and charging (8), transmission and driveline (10), brakes (12), suspension and steering (14), tires and wheels (10), undercarriage and rust (12), exhaust and emissions (6), body and glass (10), interior and safety equipment (10). There’s a complete sample report too.
No, and that’s worth being clear about. This is a condition report written for the buyer, by someone working for the buyer. A Safety Standards Certificate is a separate document with its own rules, covering minimum safety requirements on the day it’s issued, it says nothing about engine health, how the transmission behaves warm, slow leaks, or how the car was treated.
Most of these get sorted in the same visit, one trip, one flat quote. These two or three come up alongside this job the most:
