FAQs
How Long Does The Inspection Take?
A typical car inspection may take somewhere between 1-2 hours. However, the duration may vary according to complexity of inspection, size of vehicle, and if the car needs an elaborate inspection owing to deep engine issues.
Can I Be Present During The Inspection?
We prefer our clients to be present during the inspections so that we can explain the process as we go about it. However, it’s not always possible for clients to be present during an inspection owing to the car being in a far-away location. Regardless, we conduct unbiased and transparent pre-purchase vehicle inspection without any unnecessary or hidden charges.
Do You Check Service History Or VIN Reports?
Yes absolutely. We check service history and VIN reports that reveal crucial information about the car in question like the year of manufacture, service works, mileage of the car at the time of servicing, and so on, preventing the seller from making dubious claims about the car’s mileage and year of manufacture.
What If The Car Has Issues?
Till date, we haven’t encountered a single car that came out with zero faults during the pre-purchase screening. However, it all comes down to how major or severe those problems are. We provide our clients with a detailed post inspection report mentioning the current condition of the car, the cost of repairs and future problems that may arise that will help you make an informed decision.
How Much Does It Cost?
We offer a competitive and transparent pricing system, with zero hidden costs. Our expert and experienced mechanics will explain each component of inspection to you while detailing the same in the final report so that you will know exactly what you paid for. We offer standard and premium packages based on the level of inspection detail you require.
