What’s Included in Our Vehicle Inspection Service
Our multi-point inspection is designed to be exhaustive, leaving no critical component unchecked. We go beyond a simple glance under the hood to give you a true understanding of your vehicle's health.
Core Systems Evaluation
We perform a detailed check of your engine, transmission, and drivetrain, looking for signs of wear, leaks, or performance issues that could lead to costly repairs down the line.
Safety-Critical Component Check
Your safety is our priority. We meticulously inspect your brakes, tires, steering, and suspension systems to ensure they meet strict safety standards and are functioning correctly.
Fluid Analysis and Levels
We check all essential fluids—including oil, coolant, brake, and transmission fluid—for proper levels and condition. Contaminated or low fluids can cause significant damage.
Electrical and Battery Assessment
Our technicians test your battery, alternator, starter, and the vehicle's overall electrical system to prevent the inconvenience and danger of a sudden failure.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Scan
We use advanced diagnostic tools to read your car's computer for any hidden trouble codes, identifying issues that aren't yet visible or affecting performance.
Our Process
Our Step-by-Step Inspection Process
We believe in a transparent and methodical approach. When you bring your car to our Canton shop for an inspection, here is what you can expect.
Hands-On Multi-Point Inspection
Our ASE-certified technicians then perform the physical and digital inspection, carefully examining each system and component as outlined in our service checklist.
Detailed Reporting with Photos
We document our findings with photos and a clear, easy-to-read report. We then walk you through every detail, explaining what we found in plain English—no confusing jargon.
Honest Recommendations and Quote
If we find issues, we provide honest recommendations on what needs immediate attention and what can be monitored. You will receive a transparent quote for any suggested repairs, with no pressure to proceed.
Common Problems Our Inspections Uncover
A routine inspection can identify small issues before they become major headaches. Here are some frequent problems we find for drivers in the Canton area.
Hidden Flood or Accident Damage
Especially critical for pre-purchase inspections, we look for tell-tale signs of previous damage that could compromise the vehicle's structural integrity and safety.
Worn Brake Pads and Rotors
Ohio's variable weather and road conditions can be tough on brakes. We check for thinning pads, warped rotors, and brake fluid integrity to ensure your stopping power is reliable.
Suspension Wear from Local Roads
From potholes in Canton to rough country roads in Stark County, suspension components take a beating. We identify worn shocks, struts, and bushings that affect ride comfort and handling.
Undetected Leaks and Corrosion
We look for slow fluid leaks and early signs of rust or corrosion that are common in Ohio's humid summers and salt-heavy winters, helping to prevent long-term damage.

Don't just take our word for it. Here’s what your neighbors in Stark County are saying about their experience with our inspection services.
“I recently went to Fix-it With Fred for a pre-purchase inspection on a 2021 Traverse... They completed the inspection within a couple of hours and delivered a very detailed report that highlighted issues I never would have caught on my own. The insights from that report were invaluable... the PPI ultimately saved me from purchasing a potentially problematic vehicle. A special thanks to Ash, who took great care of me throughout the process. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered excellent recommendations.”
Steve Stiffler – Pre-Purchase Inspection
“We will always choose Fred’s. Not only is the inspection super detailed, with photos of your car throughout, links to information about each thing, and recommendations... Never have they tried to upsell us... Women know how most mechanics can be, let me assure you this is the most woman-friendly mechanic I’ve ever come across.”
Philip Lohmeyer – Detailed & Woman-Friendly Service
“Fred and his staff are quite frankly, the best, most reasonably priced, thoroughly competent automotive repair facility I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Fred and his staff have accurately diagnosed and corrected issues on my vehicles every time. Their estimates are accurate and usually less than anyone else.”
