From booking to report, here’s exactly what happens — and how long each step takes.

    We assign an inspector

    A licensed inspector in your area is assigned. You’re notified by SMS and email with their name and ETA.

  3. 03
    quickly

    Inspector contacts the seller

    The inspector confirms the address and arrival time directly with the seller. You’re copied on the communication.

  4. 04
    60 to 90 minutes

    On-site inspection

    The inspector arrives at the agreed time, runs the full 200+ point inspection, and takes photos. You can stay informed via SMS updates if you’ve opted in.

  5. 05
    same day, usually

    Report writing

    The inspector completes the report on the platform, including findings, severity ratings, and photos. Most reports are submitted within 4 hours of the inspection.

    within 24 hours of inspection

    Report delivered

    You receive an email with a link to your report. The report is also available in your dashboard. You can download it as a PDF.

  7. 07
    get your report

    You decide

    Walk away, renegotiate, or proceed. We don’t sell you anything else. The report is yours.

What we check

Every inspection covers 200+ points across the following categories:

Top-down view of a car interior showing the points we inspect
Electrical & electronics
Air conditioning and heating
Interior (seats, controls, electronics)

What we don’t do

We don’t run scan tools that require dealer credentials, we don’t dismantle parts of the vehicle, and we don’t issue roadworthy certificates. If you need a roadworthy, we can refer you to a certified workshop.
