Any question before or after the booking?
1 out of 6 cars has a tampered mileage. This is just one example of a scam. The used car market is a jungle. Too often we hear stories of buyers who soon after their purchase find themselves with large bills. Buying a car is an important life project and should not be a source of stress. Everyone has their own business. Ours is to make sure you buy the right vehicle with pre-purchase car inspection.
Yes, we have inspectors who are certified and trained to inspect electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The proposed inspection for this type of vehicle was designed with several experts in the field.
The inspection of a vehicle does not require lifting it 6 feet high. Our inspectors are equipped to check the lifting points, the frame and the exhaust for rust. If there is a leak under the vehicle coming from the transmission, gearbox or differential, we will know. Lifting the vehicle would allow us to determine more precisely the source of the leak. For us, the presence of a leak on one of these components is enough to advise against the purchase. The intervention to repair such a leak would cost several thousand dollars.
Check here, by indicating the city where the vehicle is located, and we’ll tell you. You can also contact us.
Sure, our inspection is useful for both buyers and sellers. It can help you diagnose issues with your car before selling it or before going on a trip.
Your presence is not recommended. Here are the main reasons:

If you book on Monday morning at 10am, you will receive the inspection report by Wednesday morning at 10am. Rest assured that we do our best to be as responsive as possible.

If the vehicle has been sold in the meantime: Kiwiz offers a credit for a future inspection, without a time limit.
In case the seller does not want Kiwiz to come and inspect the vehicle: This is a bad sign, and it is likely that the seller is aware of a hidden defect on the vehicle. Kiwiz offers a credit for a next inspection, without a time limit.
Note that it is up to you to make sure that the seller agrees to have a third-party inspection done.
