Happy New Year! Welcome to 2017!

Published on January 3, 2017

2017 has arrived at we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our customers, business partners and family for trusting Test Drive Technologies in their vehicle inspection and appraisal needs.

We strive extremely hard to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations here at Test Drive Technologies and that often means driving 200 – 300 miles from our office to inspect or appraise a vehicle because we are the trusted resource for accurate vehicle inspections.  This past year we have driven over 28,000 miles, performed over 250 vehicle inspections and appraisals, performed over 20 expert witness vehicle inspections, testified in 5 difference expert witness vehicle inspection cases, sold 3 vehicle service extended warranty contracts and helped save pre-owned vehicle buyers $1000’s on undisclosed or hidden damages.

This past year we are proud to thank the following businesses for partnering with Test Drive Technologies Vehicle Inspection Services.

AutoMobile Technologies – AMT provides us with the flexible vehicle inspection platform software that we use to craft and customize each of our vehicle inspections to the needs of our clients.  We have been partners with AMT since 2011 and are grateful for their services.

Blackstone Laboratories – We utilize Blackstone Laboratories oil testing and lab analysis for HD trucks, HD equipment as well as Motorhome fluid testing.  Their platform is easy to utilize, easy to read and is the fastest on the market.  Blackstone allows us to expand our services to help our customers see inside their engines, transmissions, drivelines and much more.

Beacon Payment Systems – Every transaction we process here at TDT is processed through Beacon Payments.  We met the account manager for Beacon Payment Services through networking.  Beacon’s low rates and helpful customer service provides us the ability to keep our cost lower and thus we pass that savings onto our customers.

iAuto Agent – We are proud to have partnered with iAuto Agent to provide them with the highest quality pre-sale vehicle inspections possible in the St Louis, Mo Area.  Each iAuto Agent vehicle is fully inspected, photographed and videod prior to being listed on the iAuto Agent platform providing full transparency in the private seller to private buyer sales market.

It is not often that we thank dealerships for their referrals as we strive to remain as independent as possible in the marketplace.  However, several dealerships in the St Louis, Mo Area have provided us referrals to not only their own clients but also in other situations such as those needing independent appraisal services and pre-purchase inspections at other sellers. Thank you’s go out to:

• Jon Fraust at the St Louis Car Museum
• Christopher and Chris at Gateway Classic Cars
• Noah at Classic Car Studios

We work with several attorneys in the St Louis, Mo Area that represent clients struggling with recurring vehicle issues and vehicles which were misrepresented during the sales process or having issues being compensated by their insurance companies.  We would like to thank the following Lemon Law and Consumer Law Attorneys for trusting Test Drive Technologies as their trusted vehicle inspection experts.

• Bryan Brody with Brody and Cornwell
• Mayer Klein with Frankel, Rubin, Bond, Dubin, Siegel & Klein, P.C.
• Andrew Toennies with Lashly Baer, P.C.
• Shaun Lieser with Lieser Law Firm

We are huge supporters of business networking and growing our business through referrals.  TDT would not of been nearly as successful this past year without the help of my business networking family.  We would like to thank each and every member of the BNI St Clair County Chapter for your support, leadership, encouragement, advice and referrals that you have passed onto us this past year…
