Built for distance
Do not make the trip just to discover the listing was fiction.
A flight, hotel, trailer or export journey can cost more than the inspection. This service is for buyers who have already found a specific car in Austria and want to know whether it deserves the next step.
Exporting from Austria
We ask the seller about documents, invoice, pickup, temporary plates and export conditions relevant to the transaction.
Living in Austria without fluent German
We handle the seller conversation in German and explain the vehicle, history and practical risks in clear English.
Small dealers and collectors
We can check a specific vehicle before you commit logistics or reserve stock remotely.
The inspection
The car, the paperwork and the story between them.
The exact scope depends on access, weather, the vehicle and the seller’s cooperation. We confirm what is possible before the visit.
Listing & seller
Availability, ownership, accident claims, known faults, service records, reservation terms and inconsistencies in the seller’s answers.
Identity & documents
VIN consistency, Austrian registration papers, service book, invoices, available digital history and export readiness where relevant.
Body & previous repairs
Paint thickness mapping, panel gaps, glass dates, corrosion, visible accident repairs, dents, scratches, stone chips and poor refinishing.
Interior & real wear
Seats, steering wheel, pedals, controls, odours, moisture, electronics and whether the wear plausibly matches the mileage.
Engine & drivetrain
Cold start where possible, visible leaks, fluids, noises, smoke, vibration, gearbox behaviour and a test drive with seller approval.
Diagnostics & ownership cost
OBD scan where accessible, stored faults, warnings, tyres, brakes, visible suspension clues and likely near-term maintenance.
This is a structured mobile pre-purchase inspection, not a §57a roadworthiness test or mechanical teardown. If the evidence calls for a lift, compression test or marque-specific diagnosis, we say so and can coordinate an authorised workshop.

Before you book
Questions from international buyers
The on-site inspection is €350. Outside Vienna, travel is €0.50 per driven kilometre for the return journey. A necessary overnight stay is added separately. We confirm the complete price before you book.
Yes. That is the main purpose of this service. You can make the first buying decision from abroad using our findings, photos and videos.
Yes. Send any public listing or dealer page. We first confirm the vehicle’s location, availability and whether the seller permits a proper inspection.
No honest inspector can. We reduce risk using the evidence accessible without dismantling the car and state clearly when a workshop check is still needed.
Yes. The method is independent of the seller, although access to documents, diagnostics and test drives can differ.
We can clarify what the seller offers and what documents are available, and support practical communication. We do not provide tax or legal advice and cannot promise a NoVA refund.
It depends on the seller, location and current schedule. Send the listing as early as possible; we will reply with availability and a fixed total price.
