Buying at distance is the situation this service exists for. You have found the right car eight hundred miles away, the photographs look good, and the seller sounds reasonable. Everything you know about that vehicle came from the person selling it.
The alternative to an inspection is a flight, a hotel and a day off work to see a car you may walk away from. That is several hundred dollars and a day of your life spent discovering something a stranger could have told you within the hour.
The more expensive version is not walking away. Having travelled that far, buyers talk themselves into cars they would have rejected at home. The sunk cost is real and it is working against you the entire time you are standing in front of the vehicle.
Every inspection also covers the full checklist — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tyres, body and interior — with a diagnostic scan and a road test where the seller permits one.
The inspector checks in at the vehicle with their phone's location, which we compare against the address. Every photograph in your report was taken at that inspection.
Then you have found out for the price of an inspection rather than a flight, and you have a documented report to show the seller if you want to renegotiate.
We do not arrange shipping, but the report gives a transporter an accurate condition record before collection, which is worth having if anything is disputed on arrival.
