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.

Hasn'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.

Unqualified 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.

Terrible experience Terrible experience. They say that the inspection will be done with in 2 business days and the report pays that evening. My inspection was done in 1 business day and 3 days later I'm still waiting on the report. Customer service gives the same bull answer but nothing changes.

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.
