Steve started this business as a way to combine his passion for vehicles and a service he could have used in his quest to buy his ideal truck. Finding better deals elsewhere, he wished for someone he trusted to test drive the trucks he saw posted before committing to driving or flying somewhere just hoping it drove the way he expected. Thus Test Driver For Hire was born.

THE SERVICES
Nature of Test Driver For Hire Inspections. When you place your order with Test Driver For Hire, you are hiring us to evaluate the overall condition of the designated vehicle, based on what our inspectors can subjectively observe. Test Driver For Hire inspectors do not use hoists or tools or dismantle the vehicles. The Test Driver For Hire service is a visual inspection of all reasonably accessible items only, and some problems may not be observable during the inspection. The Test Driver For Hire inspector will attempt to test drive the vehicle, but if this is not feasible, a test drive will not be conducted. Once the inspection is completed, you will receive a hyperlink/email of the inspector's report, along with a package of photographs and/or video(s) of the vehicle.
Test Driver For Hire Service Limited to Inspection Test Driver For Hire performs inspection services only. Test Driver For Hire is not affiliated with the seller of the vehicle and does not take a position on whether you should, or should not, purchase the vehicle. Test Driver For Hire does not verify that the seller has the legal right to sell the vehicle. Test Driver For Hire is not responsible for any representations made by the seller or any other party.
Inspection Is Not An Insurance Policy or Warranty. An inspection does not act as a warranty or as an insurance policy for any vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that if you purchase any vehicle inspected by Test Driver For Hire, you are fully responsible for all costs for repairs and maintenance on your vehicle, whether or not covered by any other insurance policy or warranty. You acknowledge and agree that the decision to purchase any vehicle remains your own responsibility and that you are responsible for determining whether a vehicle is under warranty or properly insured.
Vehicle Remains "As Is". You agree that, even after inspection, you will be purchasing the vehicle in an "as is" condition, unless otherwise warranted by the seller. Because a vehicle's condition may change between the time the inspection is conducted and the actual purchase of the vehicle, we recommend having the inspection completed as close in time to the purchase as possible. The Test Driver For Hire report is not a substitute for any safety or emissions inspection that may be required by applicable state laws. You acknowledge and agree that the Test Driver For Hire inspection does create any warranty for any vehicle you may purchase and that your right to recover for any defects in the vehicle, whether or not disclosed in the Test Driver For Hire report, is limited to any warranty the seller may offer.
Factors Affecting Inspections. Test Driver For Hire inspections may be affected by weather and light conditions, as well as the cleanliness of the vehicle, both inside and out, at the time of the inspection. Many external factors, beyond our control, can reduce the
accuracy of the inspection, making things such as repainting and body work difficult to detect with the naked eye. For the most accurate inspection report, the vehicle must be clean, dry and situated in well-lit location at the time of inspection. However, Test Driver For Hire does not agree to take any steps or actions affecting the vehicle's condition at the time of the inspection. Test Driver For Hire strongly suggests that you contact the seller and make all necessary accommodations to ensure that the vehicle is as clean as possible and available in a suitable location for an inspection.
Cancellation. Once your order is placed, all sales are final. Test Driver For Hire may decline to undertake the requested inspection, in which case your prepaid inspection fee will be promptly refunded. However, you cannot cancel your order for a refund.
Unforeseeable Circumstances. You agree that if Test Driver For Hire is prevented from the performance of the inspection or report due to circumstances or causes beyond its control, such as computer malfunctions, restrictive laws or regulations, labor disputes, or acts of God, Test Driver For Hire is excused from further obligations. Test Driver For Hire, in its sole discretion, may cancel such an inspection.
Refund Policy after Inspection Report. If you believe there are inaccuracies in the inspection report, you must submit them to us (emailed to testdriverforhire@gmail.com) within seven (7) days for consideration of a refund, include pictures and specific details addressing the issue(s). Due to the complex mechanical nature of automobiles and factors that may affect their continued performance, all submissions must be received by Test Driver For Hire within seven (7) days of the report being delivered to you.
