Life moment · Buying
Buying a car back home? A mechanic checks it first.
A partner mechanic inspects the car, test-drives it and checks its papers. You get their signed report, backed by dated photos, before you pay the seller.

Questions
Common questions about checking a car
Can you negotiate the price for me?
The agent reports, you decide. If you ask, the agent 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.
