Our service

Vehicle inspection for people buying a used car

Car Inspect is a private vehicle inspection service for the UAE. We inspect used cars for buyers at the seller's home, workplace or dealership, and give them a clear report on the car's condition before they pay.

We are not an official testing centre. Government-approved centres carry out the vehicle tests needed for registration, renewal or ownership transfer. Our inspection is a separate, more detailed look at condition, designed to help you decide whether a car is worth buying. Read the difference.
