The specialist goes to the place where the car is parked, conducts an external inspection, inside the cabin, under the hood, checks the operation of the main systems and units, if the car is on the move, a test drive is possible. During the inspection, he makes a detailed photo and video report for the buyer. Thanks to such an inspection it is possible to assess the real condition of the car, which will help to decide on the choice and make a decision to buy.
