First stage of verification
After the documents are checked, our specialists begin the physical check of the vehicle. Any aesthetic or technical problem they find is being reported in the vehicle inspection sheet. The number of miles in the on-board computer is marked and verifications are made to determine if the mileages are real or it was tampered with. We continue by carefully checking the body. This is done by exposing it to a bright light with a paint meter, in order to observe any small imperfections of the body. Our mechanics follow closely the lines of the body and the spaces between the parts to determine if it matches with the manufacturer standards. Hood, trunk and all doors are checked.
Second stage of verification
At this step we verify the technical parameters of the engine. We start the vehicle to check that the engine runs at normal temperature and that the noise or exhaust gases do not exceed the limits. Lights are being checked. Headlights, tail lights and fog lights are sequentially turned on and off. We verify the board computer for errors. We check that the air conditioning (climate control) and heating are operational. We finish by verifying the audio, entertainment and navigation systems.
Third stage of verification
The audio system is turned off during the test-drive to hear any imperfections in the operation of the vehicle. Our specialists are paying attention to the gearbox, which is monitored by an approved tester. We monitor the throttle and brakes to verify that they function in normal parameters. Suspension and shock absorbers are monitored and our technicians are alert to any possible noise or vibration. At a speed of 40 miles/h we check the direction of the vehicle as it must run perfectly aligned to the road, without moving the steering wheel to one side or another. After the drive test ends, minutes after the vehicle is stopped, our inspectors check for any leakage of oil or other liquids.
Fourth stage of verification
All observations recorded during the inspection are carefully analyzed by our specialists. If they consider that the vehicle is in excellent condition they send the inspection sheet for approval to the service manager. After receiving the approval, we prepare the necessary documents to take over the vehicle. We send all the recorded observations to the sales department in order to post the vehicle for sale on our website.
