WHAT IS THE AUTO CRITIC?

Auto Critic is the oldest used car inspection service of pre-owned cars in the United States.  We have had national exposure on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's Money Talk, USA Today, Business Week, Time Magazine, Inc., and News Day.  Auto Critic was conceived and founded in 1989 by Patrick Ludwick, in Austin, Texas, and in a short time had been expanded to cover most major cities in the United States.  Auto Critic only hires certified ASE mechanics with at least five years experience servicing most makes and models of used cars and trucks.

WHY NOT YOUR MECHANIC?

WHY NOT? A mechanic at your local garage is not in the business of used car evaluations.  It matters not as to how honest or competent he is. Our inspections are a regimented routine, designed to expose items often overlooked.  Remember that Auto Critic does not fix, repair, or refer you to any garage for repairs that need to be made.  Our only mission is to provide you with an unbiased opinion as to the true mechanical condition of a used vehicle.

MOBILE SERVICE

Auto Critic is a 100% mobile service.  Our trucks will travel to location for a used car to be inspected (your home, place of employment, seller's location, or a car dealership).  Our vans are fully equipped to evaluate all aspects of the used vehicle.  Auto Critic lifts vehicles and is able to give a more precise review of a vehicle from that standing.  Most mobile services DO NOT lift vehicles and some do not even test drive.
