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 Mississauga. The dealer volume sits on two strips: the Mavis Road corridor between Dundas and Britannia, and the Dundas Street East run through Cooksville toward Cawthra. Private sales cluster somewhere else entirely, the Square One condo towers around Burnhamthorpe and Hurontario, City Centre Drive, then out through Erin Mills, Meadowvale, Streetsville, Clarkson, Port Credit and Malton. Those two worlds hide different things, and the inspection goes looking for different things in each.
The condo-garage reality. A lot of Mississauga private sales happen in an underground P2 or P3 at a Square One or Sheridan-area tower, and most boards don't allow jacking a car in there. That's fine, a pre-purchase inspection is a measure-and-look job with the car sitting on its own wheels anyway: scan tool in the port, gauge on the pads and tread, dipsticks, and a proper look underneath with a light. What actually matters is the practical stuff: ask the seller to meet you in visitor parking or at street level, because visitor spots run on a timer and a fob you don't have.
What Mississauga roads do to a car. This city is wrapped in the 401, the 403, the 410 and the QEW, and interchange spray is where the salt does its worst work, brake lines, subframe seams and rocker pinch welds go first. Then there's the Hurontario LRT build: years of torn-up pavement, plate steel and lane shifts on the main north-south artery, and it shows up as struts, bushings, sway links and bent wheels on cars that commute through it. If a Mississauga listing says "highway kilometres", the brake and suspension wear pattern is where you check whether that's true.
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 Mississauga, 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 Mississauga 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 Mississauga: a driveway in Erin Mills, a Square One visitor spot, a dealer lot on Mavis. 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. Mississauga is home base. Square One, Cooksville, Port Credit, Erin Mills, Meadowvale, Streetsville, Clarkson, Malton, Lisgar, Churchill Meadows. Fares comes to your driveway, a visitor spot, a workplace lot, or a dealer lot, wherever the car is parked in Mississauga. 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: it shows 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), holds the one you pick, and hands you 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:
