Service 15 | Pre-Purchase Inspection
A polished used car can still hide accident repairs, mechanical wear, electronic faults, or expensive maintenance needs. Our independent pre-purchase inspection combines computerized diagnostics, underbody and body checks, road testing, and a detailed condition report to help you negotiate confidently or walk away.
Our process
From the first call to the moment your car is returned, the process is deliberately simple. You approve the work and the price before anything is touched, so there are no surprises when you collect the car.
Book in under a minute and we collect the car from your home or office. No lift to arrange and no waiting room.
Certified technicians run a full diagnostic scan and send you the readout with a fixed quote. Nothing is touched until you approve it.
The work is carried out to manufacturer procedures, road-tested twice, then the car is washed and returned to your door.
What we do
An independent check of the whole car before you commit, with the findings written down so you can negotiate or walk away.
Why A to Z
Every car gets a full diagnostic scan before we quote. You see the readout and the fault codes whether you go ahead or not.
We collect from your home or office and bring the car back when it is done. No lift to arrange, no waiting room.
A workshop near you and shorter waiting times. Your service history follows you between every branch.
Warning signs
An inspection costs a fraction of the repairs it finds. These are the situations where it consistently pays for itself.
Coverage
Independent pre-purchase inspections for European, Japanese and American cars, including performance and prestige marques.
FAQs
Usually two to three hours depending on the vehicle. We would rather take the time and find everything than rush and miss something expensive.
In most cases we prefer the car comes to the workshop, because a proper inspection needs a lift. We can advise on options when that is not possible.
We give you the facts, the photographs, and estimated repair costs. Plenty of customers use the report to negotiate rather than walk away.
