Inspection without sourcing

You've already found something and want to know what's wrong with it before you hand over money. I come out, inspect it, and tell you the number it's actually worth.

Price
฿1,500–3,500 depending on the vehicle
Scooters and motorcycles from ฿1,500 (149 points). Cars from ฿3,500 (198 points). Travel outside Phuket is charged separately.
Booked a full search with me? The inspection is already part of it — nothing extra to pay.

What's included

  • The same checklist used on a full search: 149 points for bikes, 198 for cars
  • Documents, frame and engine numbers, outstanding finance, theft records, road tax
  • Paint gauge and diagnostic scanner for cars
  • Photo report and written findings: what is critical, what is grounds to negotiate
  • A clear recommendation: buy, negotiate, or walk away

How it works

1

Request

Send me the listing, photos and where the vehicle is.

2

Visit

I come out at an agreed time, usually within 24 hours.

3

Inspection

Full checklist on site, with a photo for every disputed point.

4

Findings

A report marked STOP and NEGOTIATE, and the number it's worth.

Guarantee

I answer for the vehicle's condition at the time of inspection and for its legal standing: documents, numbers, no outstanding finance, not stolen. Anything I cannot verify goes into the report in writing rather than being quietly skipped.

FAQ

How is this different from sourcing?

On a search I find the options, filter out the junk and negotiate. Here you found the vehicle yourself — I only come out and check what you chose.

If the vehicle turns out bad, do I get a refund?

No — the work was done. You paid to learn the truth before the deposit, and that is exactly the value: a bad vehicle costs far more than the inspection.

How many inspections can I book?

As many as you need. Plenty of people book two or three before a good one turns up.

What if the seller won't let you inspect?

That is your answer. A seller who won't allow an inspection is almost always hiding something.

I'll check it before you hand over money

Send me the listing — I'll tell you when I can come out. The form opens WhatsApp with your message ready.
