What we look at closely on Portland vehicles
Portland (Multnomah County) sits in the Pacific Northwest. Persistent damp rather than road salt. Water finds its way in through blocked drains and tired seals, and the damage accumulates quietly.
Water intrusion and blocked drains
Sunroof and cowl drains clog, then water collects in footwells and under carpet. Damp insulation leads to mildew and corroded floor-mounted electrical connectors.
Seal and weatherstrip condition
Perished door and window seals are the usual entry point, and are easy to overlook on a dry day.
Interior mildew and odour
Distinct from flood damage but with a similar smell. Worth identifying which one you are looking at, because they are very different problems.
Brake corrosion from low-speed, wet driving
Constant moisture with short trips pits rotors and seizes calipers and slide pins.
These are the areas that get extra attention locally — every inspection covers all 200+ points regardless of where the vehicle is.
Transparent Pricing
Every inspection includes a 200+ point check, detailed photos, AI-enhanced report, free OBD scan, and complimentary VIN history report.

Portland Inspection FAQ
Common questions about our pre-purchase inspection service in Portland.
How do you check battery health on an EV in Portland?
Our inspectors in Portland use diagnostic tools to assess battery state of health (SoH), charge capacity, cell balance, and degradation patterns. We'll tell you exactly how much life is left in the battery and what replacement would cost.
Do you inspect all EV and hybrid brands in Portland, OR?
Yes! Our certified inspectors in Portland are trained on all major EV and hybrid brands including Tesla, Chevrolet Bolt/Volt, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Toyota Prius, Hyundai Ioniq, Rivian, BMW i-series, and more.
What's the difference between inspecting a hybrid vs. a full EV?
Hybrids have both electric and combustion components, so our inspection covers both powertrains. Full EVs focus more heavily on battery health, charging systems, electric motor, and regenerative braking. Both get our full 200+ point inspection.
How much does it cost to replace an EV battery if yours is degraded?
EV battery replacement can cost $5,000–$20,000+ depending on the vehicle. That's why a pre-purchase inspection is critical — our battery health assessment can save you from inheriting an expensive problem. The $199.99 inspection is a tiny fraction of potential battery costs.
Do you check the charging system during an EV inspection in Portland?
Yes. We inspect the charging port, onboard charger, charge cable (if provided), and test charging functionality. We also check for any error codes related to the charging system and high-voltage components.
