Pre-purchase inspection

A comprehensive car inspection protocol

On-site inspection in Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi: every car goes through the same list. Nothing gets skipped because it “looks fine”.

We reply during business hours. A car listing and your requirements are optional.

Documents and VIN
01

Documents and VIN

We match the VIN on the body, under the bonnet and in the paperwork, then check ownership, liens and registration restrictions in Georgia.

  • Body and component numbers cross-checked
  • Restriction database lookup
  • Paperwork matched against the car
Vehicle history
02

Vehicle history

We run the VIN through Carfax and AutoCheck: insurance claims, reported mileage, owner changes and service records.

  • Carfax or AutoCheck report
  • Auction photos for US imports
  • Mileage timeline from the records
Body and paint
03

Body and paint

We take a paint-depth reading on every panel. Factory paint gives even numbers; filler and respray show up immediately.

  • Every panel measured and logged in the report
  • Panel gaps and shut lines
  • Weld marks, replaced panels, corrosion
Electronics and engine
04

Electronics and engine

We connect a scanner, read live and stored fault codes and watch real-time values, then go through the engine bay by hand.

  • Fault codes from every control unit
  • Airbag system check
  • Leaks, belt condition, fluid levels
Chassis and test drive
05

Chassis and test drive

We put the car on a lift where possible and always drive it: acceleration, braking, gearbox behaviour, noises.

  • Suspension, brakes, steering
  • Automatic or manual gearbox under load
  • Behaviour on rough roads and at speed

The outcome

  • Recommendation: buy, negotiate or walk away
