02 / PROTOCOL

Four timestamped steps from listing to signed deal

PRE-CHECK · ON-SITE · DOSSIER · BUYING SUPPORT / INDEPENDENT, NO DEALER TIES

  1. T-24 h / remote / 15 min

    Pre-check the listing

    We match the VIN, plate and odometer against registry records, open recall campaigns and auction history before any inspector travels. If something does not add up, you hear it the same day.

  2. Day of visit / on-site / 90 min

    On-site 120-point inspection

    The car goes on a lift. Body panels get paint-thickness readings, the undercarriage and welds are checked for accident repair, and engine, gearbox, suspension and electronics are scanned for stored fault codes.

  3. Within 24 h / digital dossier

    Dossier delivery

    You receive one PDF with photos, measurement tables and every finding tagged green, amber or red by severity. Each amber or red item carries an estimated repair cost so you can renegotiate with real numbers.

  4. Optional / until handover

    Buying support

    If you want it, our inspector sits in on the negotiation, argues the findings on your behalf and tells you plainly when the smart move is to walk away. No commission from the seller, ever.

Available in every city we cover. Reserve an inspection slot
