GBUnqualified techs Unqualified techs, and multiple cancellations. Tech canceled two appointments back to back and then showed up two hours late the third time around. The vehicle being inspected was a manual BMW, the tech didn't even know how to put it in reverse, and said, "I am not qualified BMW tech. I know Japanese cars better." Not hiring Lemondsquad again. Better off sending the car to a qualified shop than getting anyone off the street.

GBI purchased a pre-purchase inspection… I purchased a pre-purchase inspection for $219.99 for a used car on 3/23/24 through Lemon Squad. Their website listed someone coming to look at the car on 3/23/24, almost immediately after I set up the appointment. It then was changed to 3/25/24 at 11:45AM at the car dealership. My salesperson called me multiple times on 3/25/24 because no one from Lemon Squad called the dealership nor showed up to complete the service. I called Lemon Squad to discuss and their response was placing my order on hold until I found another car for them to inspect. I stated they missed two appointments and I just wanted a refund. They stated my order/money would have to stay in an on hold status for 90 days at which time I could request a refund. They stated this language was in their terms and conditions which I didn’t read anywhere. I want a refund because services were never rendered. Update: On 4/16 I got an update they went to the dealership and the car sold and they couldn’t complete the inspection. Of course the car was sold, I took it to a a local mechanic who completed a PPI and I bought the car. I called Lemon Squad to explain and they stated sorry no refund because their rep came out and no car was available. Lemon Squad is the true lemon.

GBInspection 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.

GBHasn't adapted to modern times Like others have mentioned, the lack of speed is killing them in a tight market. I ordered my inspection Sunday night, it was performed Wednesday, and I didn't get the report until Saturday night. By which point I'd jumped on another opportunity. I paid $149 for this service 5 years ago and that was good value - it no longer is at the current rate. I'd give the inspection 4 stars, the pictures 1 star (half were very out of focus, all were taken using a potato), and the timing 1 star.

GBThe investigator did not state that the car was missing seatbelts. The investigator failed to mention that the car was missing seatbelts, and the seller did not disclose this information, either, along with other little details that would have impacted the sale. Consequently, my car did not pass the State of KY inspection because all the necessary safety equipment needed to be fixed. I have decided to never do business with this organization again.
