Yes we verify if the glass in the vehicle is factory or aftermarket and if there is damage present Chips, cracks, scratches, & pitting lowers values Good factory glass raises value (Dealers can sometimes replace with OEM glass, some take the cheaper route with aftermarket) Replaced side or rear glass can mean forced entry has occurred!

27. The Ultimate Test Drive Experience What is the Test Drive Experience: For starters. Your in the driver’s seat. Buckled in tight. Mirrors adjusted how you like them. Seat just how you like it. Now it’s all up to you. A Test Drive Technologies Inspector will ride with you and ask you to perform certain maneuvers to ensure you are comfortable with the vehicle and its handling. The technician will record your responses to questions asked of you after each maneuver. There is no sense in buying a car if you don’t like driving it. We will test the vehicle in different environments. Rock roads, highway speeds, back roads, and the city streets. Don’t worry, we’re not asking you to take a 90 degree corner at 60 MPH, just normal driving habits. What we are after is to make sure the car fits YOUR driving style. After the technician has recorded your responses he or she will test drive the vehicle. Running it through a series of standardized test such as acceleration, braking, handling, and abrupt avoidance maneuvers to ensure the vehicle is in safe condition. A true Test Drive Inspection. The customer is welcome to join but is not required for any of the Test Drive Experience.
