Inspection missed countless issues costing us thousands We purchased a car from a dealer in Orlando after having a local inspector from lemon squad perform a $220 inspection. Within 50 miles of leaving the dealership The undercarriage faring broke loose and started dragging on the ground. After 100 mi the fan stopped working. We had to replace the fan motor control module and the fan motor resistor module. We also had to refill the freon because it was only 1/4 full. After 200 miles and every 200 miles of driving, the car literally loses a quart of oil. It is pouring out of the engine block. We had another mechanic take a look at the car and he noted someone tried applying RTV to the leak to fix it. This was a clear cover up by the dealer that the inspector was either incompetent and didn't see it or he knew the dealer and was doing him a favor. I asked lemon squad for a refund of my money because we would never would have purchased the car with these issues and was told that there was nothing wrong with a car when they did the inspection and everything must have happened in the couple of days between the inspection and us picking up the car. We are now having to put the car on a trailer and tow it back home to try to get it fixed. I had the mechanic run some diagnostics and they found countless issues and diagnostic fault codes with the car. I provided this information to lemon squad and simply ignored it. This company does not care about you or the results of their inspector's work. You're better off finding someone who doesn't work these crooks.

I should always read reviews here… I should always read reviews here before I try something new... They did send someone to inspect the car I was considering. Everything on the report was marked "good" except for things that I could easily see myself, like wear on the seats, and an alert light was on. He said he did a road test, but I don't think he did. As soon as my husband drove it, he noticed some shaking when applying the brakes, and the car "jerks" when it shifts while driving. That's transmission!! I specifically said in my request that I was concerned about transmission (it's a known issue in this vehicle, but obviously doesn't happen to them all). There are several other little things wrong, but those two are big. We bought the car, based on their report and my brief test drive. Off to the dealership next week, for a proper inspection.

Good report followed by transmission failure I had a Lemon Squad inspector go over a 2005 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa I was considering buying. A pretty clean report, including that the transmission was working as expected. Right after I received the car the transmission failed. One wonders whether the inspectors are in cahoots with the car salesmen, considering that they live and work in pretty much the same area. I would be leery of any good Lemon Squad report, since it may now be what it seems.

Buyers and Sellers That Depend on Lemon Squad Inspections Should Be Cautious As a seller I wanted to provide some confidence to any potential buyers. I don't feel that I got what I paid for. *Inspector canceled several appointments, before finally showing up late to the third appointment. This caused major inconvenience for me. *Inspector showed up largely un-prepared, and winged the inspection from memory, not from a list. *Inspector 100% relied on me to identify issues. He should have focused more on inspection, and less on interviewing. *Inspector did not actually do the test drive. He did a ride along, making me question the quality of the road test. *Inspector did not want to take car on highway to verify functionality at highway speeds. *Inspector spent most of his ride-along time surfing on his phone for hunting photos. *Final inspection report was dictated using voice to text. For $330, I would expect the inspector to proof read his report, since I’m showing it to prospective buyers. *Cost of inspection is excessive, compared to what a dealership would offer – which would include putting car on a lift, and providing an estimate for repairs.

Horrible experience Horrible experience. Ordered the report on March 28. They claim 1-2 business days for a completed report. It took April 9 before I received my report and I had to call 3-4 times a day the last several days. The report itself is very limited and certainly not worth what I paid for it, especially given the tie I spent and the aggravation.
