Questions
Common questions about car checks
What does the mechanic check in Dakar?
Engine, gearbox, brakes, tyres, bodywork, signs of accident damage, and the papers: registration document, chassis number, roadworthiness test, insurance.
Can you negotiate the price for me?
The agent reports, you decide. If you ask, they can pass your offer on to the seller.
Can you pay the seller?
No. Teewal never carries or hands over money for anyone. You only pay for the check.
Does the report guarantee the car?
No. It is a mechanic's signed opinion on a given date, not a warranty.
