We arrange access

With your permission, SMGLR can coordinate directly with the seller.

The vehicle is inspected

Checks are completed at the car's location, subject to safe access and seller permission.

You get the report + support

Receive the digital report within 1 hour of inspection completion, speak directly with your inspector, and message again if you need clarification afterwards.

Mobile inspection limits: the vehicle is not dismantled and a mobile check is not a roadworthy certificate or future-performance guarantee. Covers, undertrays and sealed components may limit visibility. Any important limitation is stated in the report.
