Independent · No dealer tie-up · Since 2023

An independent inspection that works for the buyer.

CheckMate PDI Exxpert exists because the person carrying out a pre-delivery check is almost never the person who suffers the consequences of a bad one. We are an independent, mobile inspection service. We do not sell cars, we are not part of any dealership group, and we do not earn commission from any brand. Our only business is telling a buyer what is actually wrong with a car before they pay for it.

We inspect on site in 55 areas across 8 zones, from Churchgate to Virar, through Palghar district and Navi Mumbai, to the Thane and Kalyan belt. Open every day, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Four commitments that shape every report.

No dealer, brand or seller relationship

We have no commercial tie to any dealership, brand or seller. Nobody can buy a better grade, and nobody can have a finding removed.

Written for the buyer

The report is framed around the decision you have to make: pay, negotiate, or walk away. That is the only outcome we optimise for.

Every finding is evidenced

A claim without evidence is an opinion. Every finding in our report is supported by a photograph or a measured reading, which is what makes it usable in a negotiation.

One checklist, everywhere

80+ point checklist across 11 sections and one grading scale, used identically in every location. A report from Virar is comparable to one from Dadar.

How we work

CheckMate PDI is a mobile, on-site inspection service. There is no walk-in location and no showroom, because a pre-delivery or pre-purchase inspection is only meaningful when it is performed on the actual car, at the actual location, in the condition it is being sold in.

You send the vehicle details, the location and your preferred slot. We confirm an inspector, a time and the exact inspection point, which matters in a city where a basement ramp or a badly lit forecourt can make readings unreliable. The inspector completes the full checklist on site, which takes 45 to 60 minutes, and walks you through every finding and its photographs before leaving. The report is then sent on WhatsApp and email within 15 minutes.

The inspector's name, the inspection date and a sign-off are recorded in every report. The VIN plate and odometer reading are photographed, so the report also serves as a permanent record of the car you bought.

What a PDI is, and what it is not

A PDI is a physical, visual and functional check carried out on site in about an hour. It covers vehicle identity, exterior paint and panel alignment, glass, tyres and wheels, interior condition, engine bay, electrical systems, photo evidence, an overall condition grade, and inspector sign-off.

It is not a workshop diagnostic. We do not perform engine teardown, compression testing, dyno measurement or a full OBD-II software scan, and we do not claim a PDI guarantees future reliability. What it does give you is a properly evidenced picture of the car's present condition, at the only moment when that picture can still change the price you pay.

Pricing

Inspections start at ₹999, and packages range up to ₹999 - ₹4999. The price depends on the package and the vehicle, never on the distance. There is no travel charge anywhere in our service area, and the price does not change for evening or weekend appointments. It is confirmed when you book, so there are no surprise charges on the day.

About CheckMate PDI.

Is CheckMate PDI affiliated with any car brand or dealership?

No. We are independent. We do not sell cars, do not earn commission from any brand or dealer, and are not part of any dealership group. Our only business is inspecting cars for buyers.

Do you have a shop or office I can visit?

We are a mobile, on-site service. There is no walk-in location, because the inspection has to happen at the car. Inspections are booked by phone or WhatsApp and our inspectors travel to the vehicle.

What are your working hours?

Open every day, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Same-day slots are usually available, particularly in Thane, and evening slots are the most requested.

Who actually performs the inspection?

A field inspector travels to the vehicle and completes the checklist on site. The inspector's name, inspection date and sign-off are recorded in the report, so the work is attributable.

How is the inspection independent?

The report is written for the buyer, not the seller. We do not have any commercial relationship with the dealer or seller, and the grading scale has no incentive built into it.

What is not covered by a PDI?

A PDI is a physical, visual and functional check performed on site in about an hour. It does not include engine teardown, compression testing, dyno measurement or a full OBD-II scan, and it is not a guarantee of future reliability.
