One of the most frequent and costly errors made by car buyers in Pakistan is purchasing cars without an initial inspection. The car looks fine apparently and the seller seems genuine. Then, three weeks after buying it, there is a big trouble that could have been foreseen at the time of purchase. FameWheels offers professional car inspection services that you can book online without any delay. Let us first learn what is car inspection and what does it include.
What is a Car Inspection?
It is an assessment of a vehicle’s condition by a trained professional for the purpose of making a purchase. It’s a check of each major system in the vehicle and a detailed report is prepared.
A thorough inspection reveals issues with engines, transmissions, cosmetic repairs after crashes, electrical, and other problem areas where components are worn or about to break. The seller is not always transparent about the hidden issues in the car and only a car inspection can reveal these issues and help you negotiate better.
Why Car Inspection Matters in Pakistan’s Used Car Market?
The need for professional car inspection is solid, specifically in Pakistan’s used car market where fraud and legal issues are common. Old cars that have experienced accidents are routinely repaired, repainted, and sold. Additionally, Flooded cars are wiped, cleaned, and sold for the going rate. When sold without a written contract, there is little protection for the buyer once the sale is over.
The professional inspection eliminates uncertainty. It provides the customer with documented, independent details regarding the condition of the car.
How FameWheels Inspects Your Car?
FameWheels employs a 200+ point inspection system that is conducted by qualified owners who have decades of combined experience. The process is organised, clear, and finalised in one visit. The inspections cover the following aspects:
Engine
Engine compartment inspections for gauging leaks, unusual wear, and performance problems. An advanced OBD scan can be performed to check for any DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) that may be found in the engine computer and that are not apparent.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Test driving the transmission for smooth function for all gear changes. If a clutch is present, it is examined for remaining life. Rubber parts of the drivetrain are inspected for leakage and noise.
Suspension and Brakes
Any signs of wear, damage, and noise are noted on suspension parts. The entire braking system is inspected for remaining life and even wear/damaged brake components.
Body and Paint
All car panels are checked using a paint depth gauge. This indicates if panels have been repainted, one of the most reliable signs of prior accident repair. We provide photographs to document dents, scratches, rust, bodywork, etc.
Interior and Electricals
The seats, dashboard controls, air conditioning system, and infotainment system are evaluated on the interior. Electrical systems, such as lights, windows, sensors, and electronics, are checked for correct operation.
Chassis and Underbody
The chassis for any damage or impacts not seen from the air, rust, and structural repair work. The underbody parts are checked for corrosion and wear.
Road Test
The car is driven around and tested for realistic performance, such as acceleration performance at high loads on the engine, brake sound and feel, and steering pull or any sounds occurring when driving.
What You Get After the Inspection?
FameWheels provides a detailed digital report within one day of the inspection that includes:
- They’ve completed the findings from all 200-plus checkpoints
