Errors from control units

Cars are mobile computers containing thousands of sensors. If something is wrong with the car, a sensor will report an error.

We can detect these errors using diagnostic equipment and software, and our technician will help you translate them into German.

Car paint measurement
Paint measurement

Accident detection

By measuring the depth of the paint with a special gauge on all parts of the vehicle, we can determine whether the paint is original or newly applied.

This can also reveal accidents or body damage that the dealer has concealed. New paint has a different value than the original paint.

Negotiating a discount

Car condition consultation

We will explain in detail but clearly what the condition of the car is, what investments will be needed and whether it is worth it.
