What customers say
Rated 4,6 out of 5 on Google — 67 reviews from customers in and around Almere.
Brought my car in for repair — everything was done quickly and without any hassle. They explained exactly what was wrong, showed me the problem and didn't push anything unnecessary.
I came in to change my tyres before a trip, but it turned out my brakes were completely worn and there was even a deep groove in the disc. I was very surprised they had missed this at the previous inspection.
I'd been to several garages — my steering wheel shook at 80+ km/h and no one could find the problem. These guys sorted it out within a day, now everything's perfect!
Excellent service, not my first time using them. Recently I had the filters and oil changed on my Opel Astra J. Everything was done very quickly. Recommended!
Excellent service! Responsible guys, great work, definitely recommend.

What is a pre-purchase inspection?
During a pre-purchase inspection we check a car technically before you buy it. We look at the bodywork and rust, the suspension and brakes on the ramp, the fluids and tyres, read out the fault codes with computer diagnostics and take a test drive. After that you receive an honest condition report and advice.
What does a pre-purchase inspection cost in Almere?
The price is on request, because it depends on the scope of the inspection and the type of car. The computer diagnostics (reading out fault codes) is included in the pre-purchase inspection. Call or WhatsApp us with the car's details and we will give you a clear quote straight away.
What do you check during a pre-purchase inspection?
We check the bodywork and inspect for rust, assess the suspension and brakes on the ramp, check the fluids and tyres, read out the fault codes (computer diagnostics) and take a test drive. This gives us a complete picture of the car's technical condition.
Do I get a report and advice?
Yes. After the inspection you receive an honest condition report with our findings. We also advise you whether the asking price is realistic for the condition of the car, so you can decide or negotiate with peace of mind.
Can I have a car from a private seller or dealer inspected?
Yes, you can with both. We inspect used cars from private sellers and from dealers. Make an appointment and bring the car to our workshop at Televisieweg 63 in Almere, or arrange with the seller for the car to come round.
Does a pre-purchase inspection save money?
Often it does. An independent inspection before you buy prevents you from being caught out by hidden defects or expensive deferred maintenance. That often saves a lot of money and hassle, and gives you a strong position to negotiate on the price.
