Want to be a vehicle inspector?

Not a watercraft post. No affiliation with the site other than that I just signed up.

There's a new site preparing to launch http://www.jewelorjalopy.com which allows qualified individuals to sign up to perform pre purchase inspections for folks who may need a car looked at.

Its a free service (there are pay options to get to the top of the list of inspectors if you are so inclined) that matches buyers with inspectors. If you have the skills and knowledge it could be a good way to earn a few extra dollars for project money.

Just thought I'd share since we have a great community of knowledgeable car crazies here.

I will note I had some tech problems getting signed up, they are still working out bugs it appears. But if you email the support mail provided they are very responsive.

Interesting

Again, thanks for the kind words Jim.

We've got the bug in the registration worked out, that will teach me to upgrade something without testing it thoroughly. doh!

We'd love to have some GRM folks sign up. Contact me directly if you have any questions, or I'm happy to answer questions here.

Thanks!

Cool idea, but whenever a customer gets a vehicle inspected prior to purchase at a mechanics (I sell cars for a living) I always wonder who gets the liability when the thing breaks down in 75 miles. I perosnally almost sold a Truck that would run for about 30 minutes before the tranny started to slip. I could imagine that customer being pissed at the inspector now also even though it's totally not their fault.

Also, what happens when you say its good and the ABS freaks out every 8 minutes from a wheel speed sensor, goes into ABS off mode, and the kid slams into a car at the first rainy stop sign on the way home. Those parents that paid for an inspection with passing brakes will have a ambulance chasing lawyer telling them the options.

Cool idea but damn if many good deeds don't go unpunished.

Being a business , you're going to need insurance to cover said inspections......its the only way to CYA with this
