Pre-Purchase Inspection in Mill Creek

Mill Creek Pre-Purchase Inspection by a Family-Owned Shop

Mill Creek grew up around its golf course and Town Center, and the neighborhoods off Seattle Hill Road and the Bothell-Everett Highway are full of well-kept family vehicles. A used car or truck for sale in Mill Creek can hide a lot behind a fresh wash. A pre-purchase inspection at Jamie's Transmission Service puts it on the lift, road tests it, scans it for codes, and checks the engine, brakes, tires, suspension, frame and body for accidents, rust and neglect before money changes hands.
