Our car defect check before delivery begins by demanding the vehicle in ‘as arrived’ condition – before the dealer has washed, waxed, or installed accessories. This allows us to see factory protective films, transport wax, and original panel condition. We use a paint thickness gauge, UV light, and high-intensity LED lamp to find scratches, touch-ups, or buffer trails.
Every electronic feature is tested: lights, windows, infotainment, parking sensors, and all driver assistance systems. We also check for missing toolkit items, uneven tyre pressures, and proper battery terminal tightening. A low-speed test drive (on dealer premises) validates clutch engagement, brake response, and steering alignment. The final car defect check before delivery report includes a ‘Hold / Accept / Reject’ recommendation and a list of items the dealer must fix before you hand over final payment.
Our car defect check before delivery details are optimized to catch dealer and factory mistakes.
Paint & Body Surface Defects – Check for scratches, chips, buffer holograms, fish eyes, orange peel variance, and edge chipping on doors/ hood/ tailgate.
Panel Alignment & Fitment – Measure gap uniformity (0.5mm tolerance), flushness between adjacent panels, and door drop (closure effort and sound).
Interior & Trim Defects – Inspect for loose panels, scratched plastic, torn upholstery, mismatched stitching, and missing clips or covers.
Electrical & Infotainment Glitches – Test all switches, screen dead pixels, speaker function, navigation lock time, and Bluetooth pairing stability.
Delivery Kit & Accessory Completeness – Verify all keys, manuals, tool kit, jack, triangle, first-aid kit, and dealer-promised accessories (mats, mudflaps, etc.).
Your final report includes a ‘Defect Severity Matrix’ and a script for dealer negotiation.
