Lemon Squad Auto Inspections

I have used Lemon Squad twice in my search for a used vehicle. One inspection's result made me decide not to purchase the car. The other has given me good information to negotiate with the owner. I will use this service from now on every time I purchase a used car remotely.

Used Lemon Squad to complete two recent inspections within the last 2 months. I have found the response time and quality of reports to be excellent. The inspectors definitely complied with my instructions regarding inpsections & pictures of specific aspects of the vehicle. Reports provided within 24 hours. Very helpful!! Highly recommend this service.

I have used lemon squad two times and they provide exceptional service!! They do a thorough job and provide great insight into the vehicles I’ve thought about purchasing. Each time they’ve helped me a the best decision possible! I highly recommend! The owner personally called me to discuss some details that were pertinent to my decision. I will continue to use them in the future.

thought best review few of LemonSquad's FAQ below
Can I get a verbal report?
This is not entirely true; LemonSquad called & said inspection going well & we should put deposit on the call cause seller has over people looking at… WHAT?!
No. Our inspectors are very busy during the day driving around and doing inspections. There is a chance that he may forget to tell us something about the vehicle when he is in-between inspections. The inspector will upload his report as soon as possible.
How long will I be able to view my report? Paid for the report 1/19 – 1/22 unable to login to website/account
The report is viewable for 60 days. After 60 days our system will delete the inspection report including the pictures.
Am I allowed to talk to the inspector? We did not speak with inspector, BUT the seller did – he told the seller how much he was getting paid and how much we paid.
No. For logistical reasons, inspectors are not able to place calls from the field. If you have specific concerns that you would like to relay to the inspector, please put those in the Additional Notes section of the order page.
Will you share the report with the seller? Informed by LemonSquad seller was hovering during inspection & making it hard on him. Inspector informed seller we would get report that night NOT TRUE received From: Lemon Squad

Subject: Your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban Auto Inspection is Ready!
No. We do our best to keep any issues from the seller. Unless something major happens during the inspection or the seller is hovering over the inspector during the inspection, our inspectors are trained to make the seller think that everything is going well during the inspection. We do this so that the seller will welcome our inspector to come back and do more inspections.

Lemon Squad has preformed three inspections for me and I will return for a fourth when needed. Each inspection was done in a different part of the country, so I believe by three different inspectors. All the reports are through, detailed and timely. My last two inspections were performed the day after I ordered them. Wow! What a service. Lemon Squad has saved me from making some big $ mistakes. If you need an inspection you need Lemon Squad!

Working with Lemon Squad Auto Inspections has been GREAT. Their reports are extremely detailed (including taking very thorough pictures). They also took the time to go over the details from the inspection over the phone. Customer service has been GREAT! I will definitely use them in the future... And will recommend that anyone who is looking to buy a used car uses them.

I was hesitant in buying an inspection from across the country. After getting the report, I was glad that I did. The inspector was very knowledgeable about the model Corvette that he was inspecting. The report was very thorough and informative. He checked things that I would have never thought of, and gave information on if it was an easy fix or not on items that were not working properly. I'm very satisfied with the inspection and the company.

I found Lemon Squad by way of google searching for a service that I had not known to exist, but had dreamed of in my head. To my gain, it did exist and exceeded any expectations I quickly formed. The communication, thoroughness, professionalism, ease of use, and all customer service was above and beyond. I wish I met lemon squad years ago. I will never buy another car without getting the Squads stamp of approval.

I hope everyone learns about this company and puts them to use. It’s a great service at a more than reasonable rate.

Thanks Lemon Squad.

Very detailed and did a great job. Thank you.

I had the lemon squad look at a salvage passenger rear end accident vehicle. They were specifically asked to look at this area of the car. While the report on the car was a D it was all cosmetic problems in the report. Pictures of small dings and scratches. I am glad that they were in the report and that aspect was thorough. Within minutes of looking under the car I found two obvious problems. I am a home mechanic with no professional experience. The exhaust had a foot large dent in it from the accident. Not in report. The rear control arm was up against the tire. Only a quarter inch clearance. The driver side has almost two inches. It must have been too much to ask for the inspector to look under the car. They are called the lemon squad for a reason, and it isn't the cars they are looking at. I have contacted them with this and have had no response.

What a great company. What sets them apart is not only the quality of the services, e.g., inspections, they provide, including the fast turnaround times, but also the quality of the customer services (and I rarely write reviews).

Lemon Squad saved me $25000.00 for $250.00 . They inspected a car for me that was 1200 miles away from me. Their report was more thorough than I ever expected. I look forward to using them again.

I was very impressed by Lemon Squad's dedication to my interests as a consumer. I had Lemon Squad do a pre-purchase auto inspection done on a car that I was considering buying. Through their inspection report and follow up phone call, I found out that the car had been in several accidents and that the engine may soon need replacing. Thanks to Lemon Squad, I have probably saved thousands on potential auto repairs on that used car! Andy Dabbs was particularly helpful on the phone. Thank you, Andy!

Used Lemon to inspect a 23 years old BMW 8 series in Atlanta, GA.
Report was pretty solid and saved me a lot of troubles.
Andy the owner personally called me to comment the report and refunded me to the extra $49 I paid to appraise the car. Report was so bad, appraisal became totally irrelevant.
Had I not used them, I most probably would have bought the car and ended up in a lot of troubles....

Lemon Squad is a top-notch company. I employed their services to do an inspection and a true market report on a used 2008 Mercedes I was thinking of buying. Their mechanic went out the next day and did an incredibly thorough check of the car. His write-up was detailed and I also got 50+ pictures of the car. His assessment revealed flaws in the car that the dealer was trying to cover up. I also spoke with Andy, the owner, at length about the report and got great advice on buying a car. I would highly recommend this business.

I have used lemon squad twice now and have found them to provide a valuable service. The first car that I had inspected by Lemon Squad I purchased, relying completely on the inspection report. The report showed several minor flaws which I was able to consider and use to make a more informed purchasing decision. When the car arrived the condition was as described, with no additional surprises. If anything, I was surprised in a positive manner because there were no additional problems. The second car I had inspected by Lemon Squad I chose not to purchase due to the overall condition of the car. The photos on the dealer site hid numerous minor flaws (nicks, scratches, amount of rust) which were uncovered during the inspection. There was also a check engine code that was recently cleared. It is unclear whether it would have returned. I am a very satisfied customer!

I recently had Lemon Squad look at a 1966 Cadillac I wanted to purchase. Thank God I called them. They saved me from buying a car the dealer wanted 26k for and it's prob only worth 13-14k. They worked in a very timely manner and after the inspection Andy, the owner, called me himself and saved me $50. I will absolutely 100% be using them again to look at the next car I find. Great honest business with great customer service.

AMAZING!!!!!! its the third time I am using there service and they just saved me from buying a car with "clean carfax " there inspector came with a special equipment and find out a HAIL DAMAGE AND A FRONT LEFT COLLISION , he called me and explained it to me , excellent professional and unique service ,there reports on the two other vehicles is amazing with all details and photos .HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchase automobiles all over the US but never thought of having a "remote" assessment of these vehicles. Rather than flying to see a possible purchase, I depended on Lemon Squad to be my eyes and ears. Because of their thorough inspection, I did not buy the vehicle and saved a lot of time and money. I would have bought it based on the seller, but will not do that again.
Thank you - Lemon Squad!

Shopping for a used vehicle. This is a MUST USE service. I am 54 years old and have bought and sold many cars. Being human, it is easy to let your emotions get involved and overlook things. Having an unbiased, 3rd party, professional do an inspection, can save u thousands of dollars down the road. For a reasonable cost, you have a valuable tool to use in your car buying decision. It will let u know about problem areas or potential problems. This is a must have when negotiating with the seller. You have a detailed report by a professional in writing. It's hard for anyone selling a car to argue with that. I have used this service numerous times and will continue to use them any time I am buying a used car. They get the inspections done within 1 or 2 business days. The final inspection reports are extremely detailed and professionally presented.
