Pre-purchase inspection

A comprehensive car inspection protocol

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

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

What's checked

10 steps we run on every car before you buy

  1. 01History and legal statusDetails

    We check the car's history: accidents, number of owners, real mileage, service history and archived auction photos. Result: a detailed Carfax / AutoCheck / registry report.

    See a sample Carfax report
  2. 02OBD diagnosticsDetails

    We connect a scanner to the electronic control units: current and stored fault codes, sensor readings, airbag status and mileage consistency across the modules.

    See a sample diagnostics report
  3. 03Technical checkDetails

    We assess the engine, gearbox (automatic/manual), main assemblies, fitted equipment, electronics, and the level and condition of the fluids.

  4. 04Body and geometry checkDetails

    We measure the paint with a professional thickness gauge, looking for filler, resprayed panels, replaced body parts, hidden repairs and geometry issues.

    See a sample paint thickness map
  5. 05Undercarriage and underbody on a liftDetails

    We check the suspension, steering, brakes, look for oil/coolant leaks, and assess the condition of the assemblies and the underbody.

  6. 06Cabin and trunk inspectionDetails

    We look at interior wear, test the electrics and climate control, check the trunk for hidden damage and go through the standard equipment.

  7. 07Test driveDetails

    We assess how the car behaves in motion: transmission behaviour, acceleration, braking, unusual noises, suspension knocks and any pull off the straight line.

  8. 08Report and expert verdictDetails

    You get detailed photos and video of everything found, plus an expert's summary: recommended to buy, or better to walk away.

  9. 09Cost of upcoming workDetails

    We put together an estimate of what you'll likely spend after buying (consumables, tyres, minor fixes), so nothing catches you by surprise.

  10. 10Negotiating with the sellerDetails

    We use defects found during inspection to negotiate. The final discount depends on the car and the seller.
