Buyer Decision Report

Know What You Are Buying Before You Pay

A used-car inspection should help you decide, not just produce fault codes. We focus the inspection around buying risk, negotiation points, and hidden repair exposure.

Use the report to discuss the vehicle's condition and repair needs before deciding to buy.

What to send before booking

  • Listing link, asking price, make, model, year, and mileage
  • Seller location and whether the car can come to Al Quoz
  • Any accident, repaint, warning-light, or service-history concerns
  • Your buying deadline so we can advise realistic timing

What the inspection covers

  • Diagnostic scan and dashboard fault review
  • Engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, tyres, and AC check
  • Visible accident, repaint, panel-gap, and underbody indicators
  • Written buy, negotiate, or walk-away summary

What to Expect

Written Scope, Start to Finish

Turnaround

You get a realistic timeline at assessment and regular updates — not an optimistic estimate that quietly slips later.

How It Works

Assessment terms are confirmed for the job, followed by a written quote you approve before work begins. The agreed scope is checked before handover, and added work requires your approval.

Workshop Access

Our workshop is in Al Quoz. Any outside specialist work is identified in the agreed repair scope. If the car is not safe to drive, we can collect it and return it after the work — arrange that on WhatsApp. On an insurance claim, the insurer may have its own authorised recovery route; ask it first.

Services and Checks

The work and checks for your vehicle are agreed in the written quote. This list shows possible scope, not a package with every item included.

01

WhatsApp Booking With Seller Details

Send the car details, seller location, preferred time, and any listing link before booking so we can guide the inspection flow.

02

Diagnostic Coverage

Available engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, body and other module coverage is confirmed for the exact vehicle; inaccessible or unsupported systems remain explicit limitations.

03

Car Inspection Dubai

A practical vehicle condition check for used-car buyers and owners who want to understand mechanical condition, electronics, visible accident indicators, and repair-risk notes.

04

Used Car Check Before Buying

A buyer-focused used car inspection before you commit, including diagnostic scan, mechanical condition, AC, visible accident indicators, and negotiation notes.

05

Accident History Indicators

Paint thickness measurement, panel gap inspection, and structural checks can reveal previous accident repairs not disclosed by the seller.

06

Mechanical Condition Scope

The agreed engine, gearbox, brake, suspension, steering, cooling and tyre observations are recorded, with inaccessible or further-test items separated.

07

Fluid Observations

Accessible oil, coolant, brake and transmission-fluid observations are recorded where included; an observation is not laboratory proof of history or internal condition.

08

Electrical & AC Scope

Included electrical functions, AC observations and available diagnostic coverage are agreed for the vehicle before inspection.

09

Written Report

The report separates observed condition, recorded faults, limitations, exclusions, further checks and estimated repair questions.

10

Buyer Decision Support

Use the findings, exclusions, further checks, documents, price and your risk tolerance to make the final purchase decision.

11

Buyer Negotiation Support

The inspection gives you a factual repair and risk list you can use before agreeing the final price with the seller.
