BUYING FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRIA
The Austrian car can be for somewhere else.
Cross-border buying is not one generic service. An EU handover and a US import need different documents, partners and limits.

A used car is a story told by evidence
The listing tells you what the seller wants you to know.
Paint readings, service records, cold-start behaviour, tyre dates, diagnostic faults and the way a seller answers simple questions usually tell a more useful story. We put those signals together before your money changes hands.
One visit. A structured answer.
The inspection is designed to answer the only question that matters: is this particular car worth buying at this particular price?
Identity & documents
VIN, registration papers, seller information, service records and visible inconsistencies.
Body & accident clues
Paint thickness across the body, panel alignment, glass dates, repairs and corrosion.
Engine & drivetrain
Cold start where possible, fluid condition, leaks, noise, gearbox behaviour and test drive.
Electronic diagnostics
OBD scan, stored and active faults, dashboard warnings and readiness information where available.
Wear & ownership cost
Brakes, tyres, suspension clues, overdue maintenance and the likely near-term bill.
Clear recommendation
Buy, negotiate, inspect further at a workshop, or walk away — with the reasons in plain language.
What this inspection is — and what it is not
01
Included on site
- Visual and functional vehicle inspection
- Paint thickness measurements
- Electronic fault scan where accessible
- Test drive, subject to seller approval
- Photo and video documentation
- Verbal verdict and written summary
02
When a workshop is the right next step
- Underside inspection on a lift
- Compression, pressure or oil analysis
- Brand-specific guided diagnostics
- Disassembly of components
- A formal roadworthiness assessment
We do not pretend a mobile inspection can see through metal. If the evidence calls for a lift or specialist test, we say so and can coordinate it with an authorised workshop.

Before you book
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee the future of a used car. We identify the evidence, likely risks and overdue costs visible at the time of inspection.
Yes. We travel throughout Austria. Travel is calculated at €0.50 per driven kilometre for the return journey from Vienna; a necessary overnight stay is added separately.
Yes. Our process is the same in both cases, and we remain independent from the seller.
Yes. If a lift or specialist diagnosis is justified, we can coordinate the appointment. The workshop charges you directly.
A clear verbal verdict, photo and video evidence, diagnostic results where available, and a written summary with the recommended next step.
BEFORE YOU BUY
A good inspection costs less than the first bad surprise.
Send the listing before you commit. We will tell you whether the car is worth a visit and what the inspection will cost.
