What's Involved
Buying a used car in Dubai without an independent inspection is a gamble. Odometer rollbacks, hidden accident damage, worn-out components, and undisclosed mechanical problems are common in the secondhand market. A pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear, unbiased report on the car's actual condition before you hand over the money. At Sunshine Auto in Al Qusais, we inspect the car bumper to bumper: engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, electrics, body condition, paint thickness, and a full diagnostic scan. You get a written report telling you exactly what's good, what's worn, and what's a deal-breaker.
- Engine: compression, leaks, noise, mounts, belts, and fluid condition
- Gearbox and transmission: shift quality, fluid level, and signs of wear or slippage
- Suspension and steering: shocks, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and alignment wear patterns
- Brakes: pad thickness, disc condition, fluid, and caliper operation
- Electrical system: battery health, alternator output, lights, sensors, and warning lights
- AC system: cooling performance and compressor operation
- Body and paint: paint thickness readings to detect previous bodywork and resprays
- Undercarriage: rust, frame damage, fluid leaks, and exhaust condition
- Tyres: tread depth, age, uneven wear patterns indicating alignment or suspension issues
- OBD diagnostic scan: stored and pending fault codes across all modules

What Dubai Car Buyers Should Know
Pre-Purchase Inspection Facts
What a Pre-Purchase Inspection Catches That a Test Drive Doesn't
A test drive tells you how the car feels right now. An inspection tells you what's about to fail. Worn brake pads that still stop the car but need replacing within a month. A suspension bushing that's cracking but hasn't started knocking yet. An engine leak that's slow enough not to trigger a warning light but will get worse. Paint thickness readings that show the entire passenger side was repainted after an accident the seller didn't mention. Fault codes that were cleared last week but are already logging again. These are the things that cost money after you buy the car, and they're the things an inspection is designed to find.

How We Perform The Service
Bring the Car or Send the Seller
You can bring the car to us, have the seller bring it, or we can arrange pickup. The inspection takes about one to two hours depending on the car.
Full Inspection and Report
We go through every system on the checklist, take paint thickness readings across all panels, run the diagnostic scan, and road test the car. You get a written report with photos covering everything we found: what's in good condition, what's wearing, and anything that needs immediate attention or raises a red flag.
Honest Recommendation
We tell you what the car actually needs and what it would cost to fix. You decide whether the deal is worth it. We're not selling the car and we're not buying it. Our only interest is giving you an accurate picture.

Built Around Getting It Right
We're Mechanics, Not Inspectors-Only
Because we're a full repair workshop, we know what repairs actually cost. When we flag an issue, we can tell you what it would take to fix it and what it would cost. That gives you negotiating power with the seller that a checklist-only inspection doesn't provide.
No Affiliation With Any Dealer or Seller
We have no relationship with the person selling the car. Our report is based entirely on what we find. If the car is in good shape, we say so. If it has problems, we list them. There's no incentive for us to say anything other than what's true.
Paint Thickness and Diagnostic Scan Included
Paint thickness readings reveal previous accident repairs and bodywork that might not be visible to the eye. The OBD scan catches fault codes that the seller may have cleared before listing the car. Both are included as standard in every inspection.
