A professional pre-shipment inspection typically costs a small fraction of the vehicle price and routinely pays for itself. A thorough inspection covers: paint thickness measurement across 30+ points to map body repairs; structural assessment of pillars, rails and crossmembers for accident damage; engine and transmission operation; a full electronic scan for fault codes; suspension and underbody checks for leaks and rust; and, for EVs, battery SOH and thermal management performance. You receive a written report with photos before the car is loaded — if the car fails, you can stop the shipment or renegotiate. Skipping the inspection to save a small fee is the classic false economy in used car importing: discovering a problem after arrival is far more expensive than preventing it at origin.

Complete records represent underlying trust and zero odometer adjustment risk. In the used car market, solid data history itself carries a high premium. The extra few hundred dollars buys you an impeccable endorsement when selling overseas.

Absolutely not. Any secondary damage caused by overseas non-professional repairs, violent disassembly, or the use of inferior replacement fluids will immediately void any form of "extended parts compensation" we provide.
