Why car sourcing in Dresden by Sicher-Check is a smart choice

Saves time, reduces risks and gives you transparency

Saves time and money. Buying a used car usually means dozens of adverts, calls and trips. Without experience it is very easy to miss serious issues. We filter out weak or suspicious cars at the advert stage, quickly identify promising candidates and use the inspection results as strong arguments during price negotiations.

Minimises the risk of buying a badly damaged car. Even a car that looks fine from the outside can hide traces of major accidents. We use a professional paint thickness gauge to see whether the paint is still factory-original or certain panels have been reworked. If several areas show a clearly increased layer, this typically indicates body repairs after an accident. Combined with diagnostics, this helps prevent a situation where you “buy” a serious repair for the future.

Reliability and objectivity. Many years of experience plus professional tools (LAUNCH scanners, accurate thickness gauges) and a written report at the end – together this creates predictability and confidence before you commit. We work officially: agreement or order, payment by invoice or in cash – as you prefer.

What is included in the “Car sourcing Dresden” service by Sicher-Check

Our car sourcing service is a comprehensive technical check of a vehicle before purchase in Germany. We carry out several key steps: we measure paint thickness, run computer diagnostics of the main systems, prepare a detailed photo and video report and carry out all other necessary checks. Every step is done on site at the seller’s location using modern equipment.

  • 🚗 Paint thickness measurement. With a professional paint thickness gauge we check whether the paint corresponds to factory specifications. If certain areas show an abnormally thick layer or several panels have clearly been repainted, this is a strong indicator of body repairs after an accident. This kind of check helps us see “hidden accident repairs” before you pay.
  • 🚗 Computer diagnostics of all systems. We connect a powerful OBD scanner to the car and read fault codes from all control units (engine, transmission, ABS, airbag and many others). LAUNCH diagnostics allow us to detect current and stored errors, identify possible odometer tampering and assess the condition of the powertrain. The result is a detailed diagnostics report – a modern pre-purchase check with documentation.
  • 🚗 Test drive. We check how the engine behaves under load, how the gearbox shifts, listen to the suspension and brakes and pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations.
  • 🚗 Photo and video documentation. During the inspection we document the condition of the body, interior, engine bay and running gear. A detailed set of photos and videos is sent to you together with the written conclusion. This way you can see every important area and potential issue without being physically present at the inspection. The photo/video report gives full transparency and allows you to take a decision remotely.
  • 🚗 Document and history check. If needed we check the VIN against available databases (including accident and damage history and possible financial liens, where accessible). Lack of access to basic information or a seller who refuses to provide the VIN is a clear red flag – in such cases we usually recommend walking away. A thorough document check significantly reduces legal risks.
  • 🚗 Written report. Measurement tables, diagnostics printouts, photos/videos and clear recommendations – all of this becomes your “buy / don’t buy” decision basis and a strong foundation for negotiating the price.

We handle the entire process for you: you pay for the service, we take care of the call-out, diagnostics and documentation. With the full report in hand you can make a well-informed decision or negotiate a better price based on objective data.

Who is the “Car sourcing Dresden” service for?

  • 💯 First-time buyers and non-technicians. If you are not a mechanic, it is easy to miss important clues during a private inspection. Our experts know the typical weak points of different models and where to look for hidden issues.
  • 💯 Busy professionals. Searching and inspecting cars is time-consuming. We take over the heavy lifting – you save hours on phone calls and site visits.
  • 💯 Clients from other regions or countries. If you cannot travel to Dresden for an inspection yourself, this service is particularly useful. We carry out all checks and send you a detailed report so you can then arrange transport and confidently complete the purchase at a distance.
  • 💯 Rational buyers. If you treat car choice seriously and do not want unpleasant surprises, a trusted inspection service is the best option. Expert checks reduce the risk of making an expensive mistake and help you buy a car with a transparent history and condition.

How the car sourcing process works in Dresden – step by step

  1. 🛠️ Clarifying your requirements. You contact us (by phone, WhatsApp or via the contact form) and share your preferences: budget, make, model, year of manufacture, preferred options, colour and anything else that matters to you.
  2. 🛠️ Searching for suitable cars. Our specialist analyses offers on German marketplaces (AutoScout24, Mobile.de etc.), shortlists suitable cars and checks them using VIN and available history. We screen out suspicious adverts and unreliable sellers.
  3. 🛠️ Pre-approval with you. We contact the seller on your behalf, clarify important details, agree an inspection time and schedule the expert visit – always in coordination with you.
  4. 🛠️ On-site inspection. Our expert visits the car and performs a full inspection: checks bodywork and interior, measures paint thickness, runs computer diagnostics of all systems via the OBD port and takes the car for a short test drive. All issues discovered are documented.
  5. 🛠️ Written report. After the inspection we prepare a detailed written report describing the overall condition of the car and our recommendations. The report includes measurement tables, scanned fault codes and a photo/video documentation of the relevant areas. You receive the full package before you travel for a final visit or proceed to purchase.
  6. 🛠️ Final decision and negotiation. With the report in hand you can either go ahead with the deal or walk away. If the car is generally good, we help you negotiate the final price based on the issues found and coordinate the last meeting. You only have to come for the final viewing and signing – we have already done the groundwork for you.

The whole process is structured so that you only need to do the final check and sign the contract. Detailed documentation and professional recommendations from Sicher-Check turn car sourcing into a convenient and low-risk process.

Where we work, delivery options and indicative pricing

We are not limited to Dresden itself – we work across Saxony and throughout Germany: Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and many other cities. On request we can arrange delivery of the car to your location:

  • Transporter truck (open/closed): as a guideline from around €2.20/km (open trailer) within a radius of about 600 km.
  • Driven on own wheels: calculated individually – details on the “Delivery” page.

Price and timing of the “Car sourcing Dresden” service by Sicher-Check

  1. 💲 Price. The price is calculated individually and depends on the distance to the car and the complexity of the task. As a rule of thumb, a call-out in Dresden and surroundings starts from around €200 (for cars up to approx. €50,000) plus roughly €1.4 per kilometre one way.
  2. 🕑 Time frame. The on-site visit and detailed inspection usually take several hours. If you order a full “from search to delivery” sourcing package, finding the right car may take 1–2 months (or longer for very specific requests). If the right car is already on the market, 1–2 weeks are often enough. The inspection report is usually delivered on the same day.

FAQ — car sourcing in Dresden

Can you inspect the car without me being there?

Yes. We document everything with photos/video and provide a detailed written report – you can make your decision remotely.

What exactly does LAUNCH diagnostics show?

It reads fault codes from all control units (engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, etc.), shows live data and allows us to run actuator tests. This gives a deep insight into the true condition of the car.

What if the seller refuses to give you the VIN?

This is a strong reason to doubt the deal. We usually recommend walking away from cars where history and documentation are not transparent.

Can you help with price negotiation after the inspection?

Yes. We use the findings in the report as factual arguments to justify a lower price and fix the agreed conditions in writing where possible.
