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 Milton. Dealer volume is thin here by GTA standards, the Steeles Avenue and Highway 25 corridor plus the Louis St Laurent commercial strip, which means Milton runs on private sales. Hawthorne Village, Willmott, Ford, Scott, Beaty, Clarke, Coates, Bronte Meadows and Old Milton, mostly newer detached and semis with real driveways. That's the easiest possible setup for an on-site inspection, and it's why a Milton buyer almost never has a logistics excuse for skipping one.
Milton is a commuter town, and the wear shows it. A huge share of these cars run the 401 or Highway 25 to the 407 every weekday, so "highway kilometres" in a Milton listing is often genuinely true, and that changes what you check. Highway cars tend to have healthier brakes and tireder suspension, cooling systems and belts. High-km with clean pads is a normal Milton pattern, not a red flag; high-km with a soft pedal and lipped rotors means the highway story doesn't hold up.
The escarpment and the quarries. Anything that lives on the Derry Road or Appleby Line climbs, or hauls a trailer up the escarpment, cooks its brakes and its cooling system harder than a flat-city car, worth a specific look at rotor surface, fluid condition and hose condition. And limestone dust off the Sixth Line and No. 5 Side Road quarry routes gets into everything, including the underside, where it makes older rust harder to read honestly and easier for a seller to hose off before you arrive. Salt on the 401 does the rest: brake lines, subframe seams and rocker pinch welds first.
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 Milton, 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 Milton 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 Milton: a Hawthorne Village driveway, a Scott or Willmott street, a lot off Steeles. 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. Hawthorne Village, Willmott, Ford, Scott, Beaty, Clarke, Coates, Bronte Meadows, Old Milton and the Louis St Laurent area. Fares comes to the driveway or the workplace lot, wherever the car is parked in Milton. No tow, no drop-off.
Call or text 647-450-0406 if you'd rather talk, but you don't have to, and in Milton that matters: shop bookings here run long. 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:
