Control unit error codes

Cars are rolling computers containing thousands of sensors. If something is wrong with the vehicle, the sensor reports an error.

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

Paint measurement

Accident detection

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

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

Discount negotiation

Vehicle condition consultation

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

Negotiation with the seller

We obtain the service book from the seller, ask about the history and negotiate a discount too (100% of the discount is yours).

We advise on next steps: insurance, vehicle registration transfer with possible transport and signing the purchase agreement.
