I 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.

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.

DO NOT USE THEM I booked the service and then saw a bunch of things online about how they were a scam. Tried to cancel, but they would not even issue a partial refund. Trying to dispute with my bank, but not sure how that’s gonna play out.

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.
