Why Dortmund is a great choice

Professional inspection & diagnostics. The Ruhr conurbation is Germany’s largest, with a very high density of sellers and steady vehicle turnover. Competition keeps prices reasonable while strict TÜV rules help maintain technical condition. We pre-plan the route and timing; travel costs are calculated transparently.

  • Huge market. From city hatchbacks and family estates to commercial vans, premium saloons and SUVs.
  • Transparent histories. Service records, digital databases and OBD cross-checks reduce the risk of surprises.
  • Efficient logistics. Excellent motorways and infrastructure make EU and non-EU delivery straightforward.
  • Negotiation support. We prepare arguments from inspection results to help you secure a better price.

How it works — step by step

  1. Shortlist cars. You search on platforms (e.g., mobile.de, AutoScout24), based on budget and preferences. Send us the listings you like.
  2. Initial check (free). Share the links via WhatsApp/phone/contact form. We call the seller to confirm availability, documents and full diagnostic access. Then we report back and, if you agree, schedule the trip and estimate travel costs.
  3. Confirm call-out & payment. You pay for the pro inspection and the agreed travel costs. We work officially and provide payment confirmation and a service contract.
  4. On-site inspection. Visual check of body and interior, paint-thickness measurements, verification of major systems. We connect the scanner to read DTCs and compare the actual mileage with the claimed one. We take photos/video and can live-stream via WhatsApp on request.
  5. Test drive. We assess engine, transmission, brakes, suspension and electronics on the road to reveal noises, vibrations or shifting issues.
  6. OBD diagnostics ×2. Right after the drive we scan again. If someone cleared codes beforehand, recurring faults typically reappear after driving — giving you the most accurate picture.
  7. Expert opinion & recommendation. We summarise on site and send a detailed written report next business day with photos, OBD data and a clear buy/avoid recommendation.
  8. Decision & reservation. If you proceed, we help secure the car (deposit and hold). If not, we continue the search.
  9. Deal support (optional). We check originals, prepare a correct contract, and guide safe payment and handover.
  10. Delivery (optional). We arrange transport to your city or border with trusted logistics partners at optimal cost/time.
