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.

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.

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.

They Got The Job Done Alright…I have to give Lemon Squad 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason is because I had difficulty contacting them, as all of the different numbers for them lead to the same automated voicemail, which freaked me out, because there no option to just speak to a live person. I had to select to “start a new inspection” just to check on my current inspection. They ended inspecting the vehicle on the day they said they would, but I had put $1000 deposit down to hold a vehicle, and was needing the report. They put a rush order in for me, and I was able to get the vehicle. They are a bit overpriced, as I paid $149 to another company to inspect a vehicle in Florida. I would shop around for a more “1 on 1” mobile inspector vs a conglomerate…but if they are all that’s available, they get the job done.

I am satisfied with the report It took well over a week for me to get my report. Actually it took about 10 days which is not what their website says. However, now that I actually have my report I can say that it is of a good quality and I appreciate that I used lemon squad to check out the car I’m purchasing on the East Coast and I actually live on the West Coast.
