The seller controls what you see. We show you what's underneath.
Polished paint and a clean test drive hide a lot — welded chassis rails, flooded floor pans, tampered odometers, and gearboxes on borrowed time. Dealers and private sellers aren't obligated to disclose any of it. A ₹1,500 inspection can save you from a repair bill ten, twenty, or a hundred times that size — or give you the confidence to buy without hesitation.

Automotive Knowledge Base
Frequently asked questions
How much does a professional pre-purchase inspection cost and what does it cover?
Our introductory offer is ₹1,500, all-inclusive. It covers chassis and structural checks, full engine diagnostics, electrical scanning, suspension and brake evaluation, and a written, unbiased condition report with repair-cost guidance.
How can I detect if a used car has had its odometer rolled back?
We cross-check service records, wear-and-tear consistency (pedal rubber, steering wheel, seat bolster wear versus stated mileage), and digital cluster diagnostics against the displayed reading to flag inconsistencies.
How can you locate structural chassis damage or past accident repairs?
We measure paint thickness across panels, inspect aprons and pillars for welding or heating marks, check underbody frame alignment, and review registration history for recorded accidents.
Do you take any commission from dealers or insurance companies?
No. Car TechTalks accepts no advertising or referral budgets from dealers or insurers. We are physical inspectors — our reports are based only on what we find on the vehicle.
How long does an inspection take and where do you conduct it?
A full inspection takes approximately 45–60 minutes and is carried out at the seller's or dealer's location in Bengaluru, so you don't need to move the vehicle beforehand.
What should I check before a long road trip?
At minimum: tyre tread and pressure (including spare), brake pad wear, coolant and oil levels, battery terminals, and all lights. Ask us for a full pre-trip checklist when you call.
