All customers are advised to ensure that the engine and underside of the vehicles are clean to facilitate inspection for any leaks, cracks, wear/tear, rust and to also verify the engine and chassis numbers.

Where the client has previously changed the vehicle’s engine, they will be required to bring a receipt for purchase of the engine and a copy of the import documents.

The inspection process takes one (1) hour.
The pre-inspection and post-inspection of the car is undertaken in the presence of the client. This ensures that the client is aware of the physical condition of the bodywork, vehicle components, tools and extras fitted. The client is also interviewed to get details about repairs undertaken. The mileage is also recorded.
