The car looks right, the seller seems reasonable, and the test drive lasted ten minutes on roads you already know, yet none of it tells you what is underneath. A used vehicle pre-purchase inspection puts the car on our lift before your money moves.
Our ASE-certified technicians check its mechanical, structural, and electronic condition, running a full diagnostic scan, and handing you a written report you keep. Then a service advisor walks you through it and tells you what we would do. We have no stake in whether you buy this car, which is the difference between us and other shops offering the service.
An inspection buys one of two things. Either you get a documented list of what the vehicle needs, which is a negotiating position with any seller, or you get a reason to walk away from a car that would have cost far more than its asking price.
Our process is honest either way: an inspection fee is a known, one-time cost, but the repair you didn’t know you needed is not.
Learn more about how this differs from a routine vehicle inspection, or read our used car buying guide before you start looking.

Don’t let his young age fool you, as this guy can do it all. Aaron is passionate about quad racing. His weekends consist of traveling the state and racing different local circuits. When he is not racing, he can usually be found riding his SXS around his property with his family and friends.
Owner
Meet Jarred, our owner/operator and the man in charge! Jarred is a “Master Certified” ASE technician, along with having factory training and certifications from General Motors. Jarred’s passion for helping people is what led him to start Mason Automotive.
Unlike conventional owners of auto repair shops, Jarred started his career as a technician and sees the auto repair industry in a different light. After years of seeing how people were simply treated as just another number in most shops, he wanted to create a place where people wanted to bring their cars because it was someone they trusted. Jarred works both in the shop and in the office, overseeing his vision of being “the local mechanic you can trust.”
Making sure people are taken care of, making sure vehicles are repaired properly, and ensuring people have a vehicle they can rely on are the heart of his business. Outside of his business, Jarred is passionate about his family and is a die-hard Atlanta Falcons fan. The whole family joins in every Sunday to cheer on their beloved Falcons.
