Limitation of Liability & Post-Repair Inspection

A post-repair inspection is performed after a vehicleΒ  has undergone repairs to verify that all work was completed correctly and that the item is safe to use . It can be conducted by the original repair shop or, in cases of dispute or concern, by a third-party inspector. The inspection ensures that repairs meet quality standards, safety requirements, and manufacturer specifications.

This ensures you get a complete and transparent understanding of the vehicle’s condition before any repair decisions are made β€” giving you confidence and clarity every step of the way.

What’s hidden matters, and in most cases we can uncover it!

OUR SERVICES

Professional Vehicle Inspection

Reliable, Unbiased & Transparent Inspections

We provide detailed vehicle damage assessments and post-repair inspections you can rely on.
Every vehicle has a story to tell. And when you’re buying a used vehicle, it’s hard to tell what condition it’s in just by looking at it.

That’s where our Vehicle Inspection with pre-purchase checks can help. The inspection includes:

Qualified engineer to inspect the car (or van or motorhome) you’re interested in.

A report for peace of mind that it's roadworthy and safe.

Details about any hidden problems we find before you buy.

Once you have your report, you can point out the issues to the seller before you buy. You can then ask them to fix it or reduce the price before you part with your money.
You can save yourself time, hassle, and potentially thousands of pounds with a used car inspection. It won’t delay the sale and it’ll help you avoid costly surprises.

Our trained engineers give you a completely neutral report on the vehicle’s condition. That means you’ll quickly have detailed information to help you decide whether or not to buy.

If you do decide to buy, you might be able to negotiate a better price with the information in your report.
Most damage assessments and reports are delivered within 24–72 hours, depending on the complexity and whether the inspection is remote or in-person.
Yes. We provide unbiased, independent post-repair inspections to ensure the quality of repair work and give you complete peace of mind.

    DISCLAIMER


    Please be aware that inspections are for Court and Ombudsman use and are legal documents, we are unable to determine the outcome of a claim, as that decision rests solely with the appropriate reviewing authority or claims department. Our role is to assist with gathering and submitting the necessary documentary information and evidence and interpreting the engineering evidence for the body overviewing any claim, but we do not have the ability to influence or guarantee the final decision. The reports are fluid and are based on the evidence we have at the time of the inspection, if you ask us to reconsider the evidence this is possible in the terms of the inspection, but does need to be done in writing to maintain legal integrity. The reports comply with CPR 35 and PD 35 requirements.
