How It Works
Single inspection
(You’ve found a car we tell you
if it’s worth buying)
How this works:
  1. You send us the car advert you’re considering
  2. We review it first and confirm whether it’s worth inspecting
  3. We inspect the vehicle on site (200+ checks)
  4. You get a clear verdict: Buy or Avoid


Main goal:
You search. We verify.
Expert for a Day
(You compare several cars with a professional by your side.)
How this works:
  1. We agree on a day and your priorities
  2. We visit multiple cars together (or large dealerships)
  3. We inspect, compare, and rule out bad options on the spot
  4. We help you choose the best car and negotiate the price
Main goal:
We guide you through the decision.
Full Selection
(We handle everything from search
to final decision.)
How this works:
  1. You fill in a short brief with your needs and budget
  2. We search, shortlist, and contact sellers on your behalf
  3. We inspect and reject unsuitable cars, reporting back at each step
  4. You receive 1–2 fully verified cars we confidently recommend
Main goal:
We find the right car for you.
