Buying a used vehicle is not an easy task. This is because certain faults that may arise or are inherent in a vehicle are not easily detected till you have already paid for the vehicle. It is not uncommon for hundreds of thousands of naira to be spent after buying a used vehicle on repairs not detected at the time of purchase. All this could have been avoided if a proper and certified inspection was carried out on the vehicle prior to the purchase.
The common approach to car inspection is to find a mechanic or a car dealer who claims to be an expert in the field to certify the vehicle for you. That they do not do a thorough job is confirmed by the amount of money you have to spend within three months of the vehicles’ purchase on faults that would have been detected prior to the purchase.
Our Independent Automobile Service Consultants are trained to perform over two hundred point inspection on a vehicle before the purchase is made. Based on this inspection, a comprehensive report is produced to give you an accurate picture of the state of the vehicle and the possible repair cost that will be incurred where applicable. This will enable you, the buyer, negotiate for a better price or cancel the purchase as the case may be.
It would be foolhardy to invest more than a million naira on a used vehicle without carrying our a thorough inspection for about twenty thousand naira when the attendant problems associated with the purchase might cost you hundreds of thousands in repair cost not to mention the wasted time and heart ache.
Below are the major categories of items tested as part of our over 200 point test on which the report is based. The report includes any factory recalls that might have been issued on the vehicle by the manufacturer ( and there are many ) , this is important to avoid unnecessary repairs on the vehicle at a future date . The test sheet and report are sent to the buyers Email address or directly to the buyer and the buyer can help improve the quality of service by visiting our website and rating the ASC commissioned to do the Test. This will help eliminate unserious and fraudulent consultants that are not committed to be best quality of service. Click here for print
