    Detailed, specific and honest. As an interstate buyer, Dion put my mind at ease with his post inspection report. Even though the vehicle had electronic issues, he offered to come back once fixed and complete the inspection for no extra cost. I highly recommend this business for peace of mind. For a small price to pay, you can rest assured you are making the right financial decision.
