What to Pay Attention to When Buying any vehicle

​

Checking the Paintwork

Measuring the paint thickness should be done by a specialist using a specialized tool — a paint thickness gauge.
It is no secret that over 90% of cars on the secondary market have undergone body repairs at least once. It's one thing if only the bumper or hood was repainted, but it's another if the car was involved in a serious accident.
If that's the case, the true history is often concealed and can only be uncovered through a thorough inspection.

​

Checking for Mileage Tampering

It's common for car owners to intentionally roll back the mileage before selling, reducing the actual reading by two or even three times.
Accurately determining the mileage is possible only with the help of a knowledgeable diagnostician equipped with specialized tools.

• We connect to various electronic control units and read the mileage from each, then compare the readings.

• We visually assess the overall condition of the car against the declared mileage.

​

Engine and Transmission Inspection

Very often, the main reason for selling a car is engine or transmission issues, as their replacement or major repair is among the most expensive.
Checking these components is effective only when comprehensive diagnostics are performed, including not only computer diagnostics and visual inspection in various operating modes but also instrumental diagnostics like engine compression measurements, oil and fuel pressure checks, and reading data from engine control units.

​

Suspension and Brake System Diagnostics

Creaks, play, and other signs of suspension issues can be noticed immediately.
However, a thorough inspection on a lift provides a complete picture of the condition of all suspension mechanisms, brake system, steering system, auxiliary equipment, and exhaust system.
