Yes, it's standard practice for dealerships to do a final inspection before deal close to confirm the vehicle's condition matches the appraisal. If something significant is discovered that wasn't apparent initially-like hidden mechanical damage-that could affect the agreed offer.

Honesty upfront prevents surprises later. When you bring your car for the initial appraisal, mention any known issues, recent repairs, or quirks. This sets accurate expectations and keeps the final inspection smooth.

Our team wants transparency throughout the process. If you're concerned about any aspect of your vehicle's condition or history, mention it when you call (847) 439-0900 to schedule your appraisal. Clear communication makes the whole experience easier for everyone.
