How We Find the Cause

A pre-purchase inspection finds what the seller didn't disclose. We perform a comprehensive inspection: engine running condition, scan for codes (active, pending, history), fluid condition, undercarriage inspection (rust, leaks, frame integrity, prior collision evidence), suspension condition, brake measurements, tire condition, electrical accessory function, A/C operation, and a road test. The deliverable is a written report.

What Not to Assume

A clean Carfax does not mean a clean vehicle. Carfax reports what was reported , many minor accidents and many flood vehicles are not on file. We inspect in person.

Why Drivers Choose Us

A $145-$250 PPI prevents $3,000-$15,000 in surprises. Mango is not buying or selling the car; we are paid to tell you the truth. If the vehicle is good, you buy with confidence. If it's not, you save the money.

Some people drop the keys and keep moving; some settle in. Either way works here.
