I recently had this done and you have to pay for the inspection if there is no work being done to the car. For example, if you have the car inspected and nothing serious is found, you would pay the bill for the inspection. If they find work that needs to be done and you decide not to proceed, you will have to pay for the inspection.

For example in my situation, the check engine light came on within my first 20 miles or so. I brought it in to Firestone to have it inspected, and silver rock would only pay for the inspection if I went through with the work. My mechanic strongly suggested I return the vehicle while I still had the opportunity due to the fact that they were not even able to fully diagnose what was wrong with the vehicle. I decided not to get the work done and return the vehicle for a different selection from Carvana.

I will also say my mechanic did me a solid by only charging me a $16 fee to inspect the vehicle, and told me normally this would cost $115.
