New Facility, Established Experience

Midwest VITAL extends the work of TDT Vehicle Inspection Services, Inc., whose background spans vehicle inspection, repair, diagnostics, appraisal, diminished value, commercial vehicle and RV inspections, and expert witness work, into a building set up specifically for complex vehicle matters.

3 Passenger Vehicles

1 Car and Semi-truck

One RV at a Time

One Neutral Location for Every Party to See the Vehicle

When a vehicle is at the center of a lawsuit or claim, plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, insurers, manufacturers, and their experts often all need access to it. Instead of squeezing an inspection into a repair shop between customer jobs, Midwest VITAL gives everyone one scheduled day at a facility built for inspection, not repair.

Excellent communication and a quick process to get scheduled. Had our inspection completed within 24 hours. It was extremely thorough with tons of pictures and assessment of literally every piece on the truck. Went into the purchase with 100% confidence of what I was buying, And most importantly, complete peace of mind. Would 100% recommend!

Steven responded very quickly to my inquiry, performed a very thorough inspection the very next afternoon, and had a full report and detailed photos in my e-mail that night. This was a Pre Purchase Inspection for the remote purchase of a classic car and I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of a detailed market valuation analysis that help inform my offer on the car. The PPI included all the unique areas of concern for the MG TD and gave confidence to make the purchase, foregoing the four-and-a-half hour drive to O’Fallon. A great value for the fixed fee.

He conducted a thorough and detailed evaluation, communicated clearly, and ensured that all of my questions were answered. His knowledge and attention to detail gave us confidence in the accuracy and fairness of the appraisal. I appreciated his prompt service and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a vehicle appraisal. Highly recommend!

I contacted Steve to get an appraisal on my GTO. Steve was great at communicating with me the details and updates on our meeting date and time. He was very thorough and he seemed genuinely interested in the history of my car. I am very pleased with my appraisal and can’t wait to get the hard copies via FedEx. The turn around time was so fast I was pleasantly surprised. If I ever know anyone needing his services I will definitely recommend him.

Steve extended his mechanical expertise and knowledge to me which helped me make an informed decision on an out-of-state truck purchase. His detailed inspection notes, photos and videos all worked to solidify my decision in purchasing the used vehicle. If and when I need another vehicle assesed, I will definetly use Steve & TDT Vehicle Inspection Appraisal Services again.

Frequently Asked Questions

01.) Is Midwest VITAL a repair shop or a state inspection station?

No. Midwest VITAL is a dedicated facility for inspecting, testing and documenting vehicles involved in litigation, insurance claims and other disputes. We don’t do general repairs, body work, towing, state safety or emissions inspections, used-car inspections or vehicle storage.

02.) What vehicles can the facility handle?

Passenger cars, pickups, SUVs, luxury, exotic and classic vehicles, commercial trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, utility trailers, and specialty or fleet vehicles. See the full list on our What to Expect page.

03.) How many vehicles can be inspected at once?

The facility fits three passenger vehicles, a car and a tractor-trailer together, or one RV at a time. We schedule one case per day, so vehicles from the same case can be inspected side by side.

04.) Can we drop the vehicle off the night before?

Yes. Vehicles can arrive the evening before the scheduled inspection.

05.) How long can a vehicle stay after the inspection?

Vehicles must be picked up within 24 hours of the inspection. Midwest VITAL is not a storage facility, so vehicles left longer are subject to a fee and will be moved off-site.
