I will do the best I can to inspect the condition of the various inspection points of your car. This report will give you a better idea of the condition of your vehicle than you had before the inspection. Obviously, I can’t comment on parts of the vehicle that I do not inspect.

 

Disclaimer Of Warranties:
 

Also, no inspection can detect everything that might be wrong with a vehicle. I can only inspect those items I’ve checked above and report to you their apparent condition. And no inspection can guarantee that any of the systems of the car will continue working in the future. I can only report their apparent condition at present. Consequently, I have to make sure that you understand that I MAKE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANT WHATSOEVER OF ANY KIND. ALL OTHER WARRENTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED; INCLUDING ANY IMPLIES WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPSE. ANY LIABILITY ON MY PART WOULD NOT INCLUDE INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BUT WOULD BE LIMITED TO THE COST OF THE INSPECTION THAT YOU PAID.
