Choosing an Inspector
We know there are other vehicle inspectors out there and you have a choice. That’s why we provide a very personal service specialising in sports, prestige and classic cars – we don’t do run of the mill family and mass market cars, and neither do our inspectors.
That’s why DEKRA, who took over the AA’s inspection business in November 2004 immediately referred all this type of business to us – and no-one else.
And we actually charge less than the RAC for most cars !!!
Our Inspectors are hand picked for their expertise ON ONE MARQUE, with some being specialists in similar cars e.g. low volume British sports cars types, Ferrari/Maserati. A few pen portraits will illustrate the expertise we have on offer (we have around 50 inspectors):
One of our Porsche men can spot a 1975 911 from a 1974 911 even with his hand over one eye, at 20 yards (and has done)
- Our kit car expert can tell you if the roll cage bolts are of the wrong type, or if your track day car will fail scrutineering
- One of our TVR experts is probably the leading authority on these cars in the UK – another used to work in the TVR Race Department
- We count the Porsche Club GBs Turbo expert and its Concours Chairman amongst our Porsche inspectors
- We have TWO Porsche experts in Northern Ireland – we understand no-one else offers a service in Ireland at all
- We include the AAs former Engineer of the Year as one of our inspectors - a very versatile, no nonsense inspector who is also seen on BBC Watchdog advising on dodgy cars.
- We’ve helped clients in South Africa, Australia, the USA and Germany buy UK cars, and about 10% of our clients buy the car solely based on our report – if you’re too busy or its too far away, we can help. Its often more time and cost effective for us to inspect the car before you see it if its a long way away.
- We’ve helped clients in disputes with Porsche, Caterham, Fisher, Nissan, Aston Martin and numerous dodgy dealers. Results: car returned and money refunded, extended warranty, free repairs and more
