Sell My Rig Team·June 7, 2026·6 min read
A commercial truck inspection costs between $350 and $400+ depending on who you hire. Sell My Rig Inspections charges a $350 flat fee that includes an ECM scan, brake check, tread depth measurements, and same-day delivery of a full photo report. Lemon Squad charges around $380 for a car-focused inspection, and most other providers start at $400+.
What drives the price
Three things move the price of a commercial truck inspection: whether an ECM scan is included, how many photos and measurements are taken, and how fast the report is delivered. Car-focused services skip the J1939 ECM scan entirely, which is why their reports miss the most important data for a Class 8 truck.

| Service | Price | ECM scan | Tread in 32nds | Turnaround | Commercial-specific |
|---|
| Sell My Rig | $350 flat | Yes | Yes | Same day | Yes |

| Other providers | $400+ | Sometimes | Rarely | 1-3 days | Varies |
Why the $350 flat fee
Sell My Rig charges one flat $350 fee for every inspection — no tiers, no add-on pricing. It includes the ECM scan, full brake and tread measurements, a complete photo report, and same-day delivery. Comparable commercial inspections from other providers typically start at $400+, and car-focused services like Lemon Squad run about $380 without the heavy-truck testing that actually matters.
