What we do here
Heavy & Agricultural Equipment Inspections
Equipment Inspections give you an honest, third-party assessment of a piece of machinery before you buy it, before peak season, or before a compliance check. We walk through the equipment with the diagnostic software hooked up, document hours and service history where we can find it, evaluate hydraulics and engine condition, check structural and wear-prone components, and flag anything that's a near-term repair concern. You get a written report with photos. Useful for buyers who want a non-dealership opinion before committing, owners getting ready for harvest or a long build, and fleet operators preparing for a safety audit.
Got it. Jordan will call you back.
We'll reach out at the number you provided.

Common reasons people call
What you might be calling about
Concrete failure scenarios we see week-in, week-out. If your equipment looks like one of these, we've fixed it before, and we'll give you a likely diagnosis on the phone before we leave the shop.
- 01
Buying a used tractor and want a non-dealer opinion
We walk the equipment with the diagnostic software hooked up, document hours and any history we can find, evaluate hydraulic and engine condition, and flag near-term repair concerns.
- 02
Pre-harvest readiness on the ag fleet
Catch problems while there's still time to fix them. We inspect fluids, filters, belts, hoses, hydraulics, and engine condition, and quote the work so you can plan it before harvest.

Insurance or safety audit coming up
Documented condition reports and equipment-specific findings to support insurance reviews, fleet safety audits, and rental-return verification.
- 04
Pre-rental return condition check
Verify the equipment is in good return condition, document the state on paper, and catch anything that should be addressed before you lose the deposit.

Why Choose JSD Equipment
An honest opinion you can take to the bank
We're not the seller and not the dealer, so the report goes where the equipment is, not where someone wants the deal to go. Diagnostic software pulled, hours verified, hydraulics and engine condition evaluated, structural and wear components checked, near-term repair concerns flagged. Written report with photos so you have something to negotiate or plan around.

Equipment Inspections FAQ
Common questions
More questions? Call 778-823-9813, the same person answering will be the one doing the work.
How long does an inspection take?
Most equipment inspections take 1.5 to 3 hours on-site, plus the time to write up the report. Big-frame ag tractors and full-size excavators take longer. We'll quote a realistic time on the phone before booking.
Do I get the report in writing?
Yes. Every inspection comes with a written report including findings, condition photos, fault-code summary where applicable, and recommendations. Delivered by email within 1-2 business days of the visit.
Will you negotiate with the seller for me?
No, we provide the assessment and the report; the negotiation is yours. The report gives you the documented basis to push back on price or walk away.
Can you inspect equipment that's already at a remote site?
Yes, anywhere in our service area (Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz, Hope, plus surrounding FVRD). Fuel surcharge by zone applies for inspections outside Chilliwack.
