A trailer pre-purchase inspection checks the frame, brakes, tires, suspension, lights and the body or deck before you buy. We inspect dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, step decks, lowboys, tankers and grain trailers. It costs $499 flat with a free VIN report.
Every trailer gets the checks below, plus the body checks for its type:
Inspections are done by Sell My Rig inspectors. They don't work for the seller or any dealer.
$499 flat, free VIN report included.
Report the same business day after the appointment. The clock starts at the appointment, not the order. The appointment time depends on the seller's availability.
It's marked Fail with photos and a repair estimate, and the inspector notes it in the summary. You decide whether to renegotiate, walk away, or buy. We never share the report with the seller unless you ask.
Dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, step decks, lowboys, tankers, grain hoppers and most other trailer types.
Yes. We record unit hours, run a temperature pull-down and read alarm codes.
Trailers don't have an engine ECM. We check the ABS light and wiring instead. Reefer units get their controller read.
$499 flat, with a free VIN report included.
No. The report goes only to you unless you ask us to share it.
