The Expertise Behind
Every Inspection

Most inspectors are general mechanics. JAG was built by a master collision technician — the only inspector in San Diego who knows exactly how accident damage is hidden, repaired, and disguised before a sale.

01
Collision Expertise

10 years as a master collision technician means we spot hidden damage, mismatched paint, body filler, and improper repairs that general mechanics walk right past. Our paint thickness gauge reads every panel.

02
Full Diagnostic Scan

We go beyond a basic engine scan. Our all-module diagnostic reads ABS, airbag, transmission, and body control — surfacing hidden fault codes that sellers clear before listing.

03
Remote Buyer Friendly

Buying from out of state? We coordinate with the seller, perform the inspection, and deliver a full photo and private video report — so you can buy confidently without seeing the car in person.
