Car PDI in Prabhadevi — questions
Car PDI and pre-purchase inspection in Prabhadevi: questions
What buyers in Prabhadevi ask before booking, answered with our actual process and pricing.
What is the most common issue found before delivery in Prabhadevi?
Minor panel repair and repaint, usually on a bumper corner, fender or boot lid, along with paint mismatch between adjacent panels. We check the spare wheel paint code as part of that.
Do you inspect cars for private sellers too?
Yes. A large part of our work is pre-purchase inspection for private and dealer-sold used cars, where you can be present or we can inspect on your behalf.
How is flood damage detected?
Through damp or mismatched boot carpet, seat base moisture, water line marks on underbody metal, corroded suspension bolts, a changed interior smell that no one mentions, and compressed rear springs from load.
Can I get a same-evening report if I pay at handover?
Yes. Pay after reading the report, not before. That is the entire point of an independent PDI, and the report reaches you within 15 minutes of the inspection finishing.
