Peace of MindKnow What You're Getting

Shopping for a used vehicle is daunting task. From searching online listings and used car lots to haggling over price, it's a tricky process, but the biggest concern is the question of whether or not the vehicle you choose is going to go the distance, meet your needs, and not surprise you with costly repairs. 

That's why Naylor's Auto Repair offers pre-purchase inspections for used vehicles. When you think you've found "the one," you can have an experienced mechanic give the vehicle a thorough, 125-point inspection. They'll check all the major vehicle systems, plus all those little things you might forget to check, like the windshield wipers and accessory ports. The findings can give you peace of mind that you've found a great buy, or they might help you avoid a bad purchase or at least give you some negotiating power.

"Incredibly friendly staff, quick turnaround time, just felt very welcomed and you can tell they care about their customers."

"Took my Buick to get worked on there and they did a fantastic job! My buick was sputtering and rough idling and they had it working like new in no time at all. They text you an estimate that details everything that's wrong with your vehicle and you choose which repairs you want them to do. Very impressed by them and will definitely take it back for anything else I'll need!"

Chris Marshall

"I’ve lived in Boise for 42 years and think I finally found a mechanic that I trust. An authentically positive experience where I felt money spent was definitely worth it and necessary. So many times I’ve been or felt taken advantage of and am finally at ease knowing that I’m not being swindled. Truly a positive experience. I highly recommend this team. High integrity, great customer service, super respectful gents!"
