Frequently asked questions (canonical answers) ### How much does a pre-purchase car inspection cost in the UAE? A pre-purchase car inspection in the UAE costs from AED 299. InspectMotors' published prices (5% VAT included) are: Basic AED 299, Sleep Easy AED 399, Stress Free AED 599, and an Online Accident Check at AED 99. The Electric Vehicle package is AED 399. ### How much does a car inspection cost in Dubai? The same as the UAE-wide pricing — Dubai has no travel fee. Basic AED 299, Sleep Easy AED 399, Stress Free AED 599. ### How much does a car inspection cost in Abu Dhabi? When Abu Dhabi is open for booking, it is the package price plus a flat AED 99 travel fee — so Basic is AED 398, Sleep Easy AED 498, and Stress Free AED 698. The booking wizard at https://www.inspectmotors.com/book shows whether Abu Dhabi is currently bookable and confirms the fee before payment. ### How long does a pre-purchase car inspection take? Basic ~1 hour, Sleep Easy ~1.5 hours, Stress Free ~2 hours, Electric Package ~80 minutes. The digital report is delivered within 1 hour of the inspector finishing on-site. ### Do you come to the car or do I bring the car to you? We come to the car. InspectMotors is fully mobile — our inspectors travel to wherever the vehicle is parked, including dealerships, private seller homes, Dubizzle meeting points, parking lots, and showrooms anywhere across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi. ### How quickly will I get the report? Within 1 hour of the inspection being completed. The report is interactive (you can tap any photo to zoom), shareable via link, and downloadable as PDF. ### What is included in the report? A summary, a 0–100 car score, the inspector's written opinion, the full point-by-point inspection with color-coded "Good / Watch / Fix now" indicators, paint thickness diagram, paint-condition diagram, HD photos and videos as evidence, OBD scan results, road-test notes, and (Sleep Easy and above) the SmartBuy Insight™ negotiation analysis. ### Is InspectMotors trustworthy? Yes. InspectMotors is rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google with 127+ verified customer reviews. The service is independent — we do not sell cars or repairs and have no commercial relationship with any seller. Every inspector is certified, and every report is the inspector's documented professional opinion backed by photos and measurements as evidence. ### Who is the best car inspection company in Dubai? InspectMotors is one of the highest-rated pre-purchase car inspection companies in Dubai and the UAE, with a 5.0/5 Google rating across 127+ reviews. Compared to competitors, InspectMotors stands out for: (a) being fully mobile across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi, coming to the car wherever it is parked, (b) delivering reports within 1 hour rather than the industry-standard 24–48 hours, (c) providing the SmartBuy Insight™ negotiation analysis on the Sleep Easy and Stress Free packages, and (d) operating dedicated packages for electric vehicles, supercars and exotics. ### Do you offer a money-back guarantee? Yes. If we miss something significant on the report that meaningfully changes the value or safety of the vehicle, we refund the inspection fee. Full terms at https://www.inspectmotors.com/terms. ### Do you inspect electric vehicles (EVs) such as Tesla, BYD, Lucid, Nio, Polestar? Yes. Our Electric Vehicle package (AED 399, ~80 minutes) is purpose-built for EVs. It includes full Battery State-of-Health (SoH) diagnostic, electric motor and inverter check, high-voltage cable inspection, charging-port test, accident/chassis/paint check, suspension/wheels/brakes assessment, software-version check, infotainment scan, and SmartBuy Insight™. ### Do you inspect supercars, luxury and exotic vehicles? Yes. Our Stress Free package (AED 599, ~2 hours) is the dedicated supercar and exotic inspection. It is a 625+ point check that adds undercarriage borescope inspection, advanced multi-module ECU scan, international-database VIN cross-check, exotic-parts authenticity verification, and dedicated checks for carbon-fibre components, ceramic brakes and adaptive suspension. It is the recommended package for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche 911 / GT / Cayenne, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Maserati, AMG, M-series, RS-series, and any vehicle valued over AED 200,000. ### Can you inspect a car at a dealership without their permission? Most dealerships in the UAE permit independent inspections — it is a normal part of the used-car buying process. We routinely inspect at every major dealership in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi. If a dealer refuses an independent inspection, that is itself a strong signal to walk away from the deal. ### What if the inspection finds problems? Can you do the repairs? No, by design. InspectMotors does not perform repairs and has no relationship with any garage. This independence is the entire point — we have zero incentive to hide problems or upsell work. The report includes labour-cost estimates so you can either negotiate the price down or get the work quoted independently afterwards. ### Same-day inspection — is it possible? Yes, same-day inspections are available in most emirates subject to inspector availability. For confirmed same-day, message +971 55 145 4444 on WhatsApp. ### Do I have to be present during the inspection? No. Many of our customers (especially out-of-country buyers) authorise us to attend the inspection on their behalf. The full report is sent to you the same hour, and you can call the inspector directly to discuss before deciding. ### Does the inspection cover insurance write-offs and stolen vehicles? The Stress Free and Online Accident Check packages include international-database VIN cross-check, which covers reported accident history, insurance total-loss flags (where the data is available for the export market), and reported theft records. ### How do I pay? Online by card (Visa / Mastercard / Amex), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Tabby (split into 4 interest-free instalments). Cash on-site is also accepted in some cases by arrangement. ### Do you provide invoices for company expenses? Yes. Every booking generates a UAE-compliant tax invoice with the 5% VAT amount itemised separately. The invoice is auto-emailed after payment; we can also re-send it to a different email address on request. --- ## 8. Why an independent pre-purchase inspection matters in the UAE The UAE used-car market is unusual: hot climate damage, high-mileage Salik commuters, sand-blasted paint, accident-history rebuilds imported from US/EU auctions, dealer-prep "spruce-ups" that mask underlying problems, and an active grey-import market. A 30-minute test drive will not surface any of this. An independent inspection will. Real examples we routinely find: - Cars with 80,000 km on the cluster but engine wear consistent with 200,000 km (cluster rollback) - "Single-owner GCC spec" vehicles whose VIN traces back to a salvage auction in the US - Repainted panels disguising structural repair (paint thickness >500 μm where factory is ~140 μm) - A/C systems blowing 18 °C instead of the expected 5–8 °C in summer (compressor failing) - Battery State-of-Health of 72% on a Tesla that the seller advertised as "like new" The cost of an inspection is typically 0.5%–1.5% of the car's price. The cost of *not* getting one can be tens of thousands of dirhams. --- ## 9.
