5) Why Is A Level III Inspection Needed?

Level III is necessary to verify all major component parts which include front end assembly, engine, transmission, as well as rear end assembly for trucks and truck-type vehicles. |

6) Should I Let The Buyer Know?
Arizona law requires that any person who sells a vehicle for which a salvage title has been issued, must disclose to the buyer, before the completion of the sale, that it is a salvage vehicle. |

7) What Are The Fees?
The cost of the inspection depends on the level of detail required:
Level II $20.00
Level III $50.00
AZ VIN $5.00
In some cases where a Level II inspection is conducted, a review at a later date may determine that a Level III inspection is required. You will then be required to pay an additional $30. |
