How a Pre-Purchase Car Inspection Saves You a Lot of Money
Thinking of buying a used car? Before you drive to the seller, here's what usually happens: you take time off, you reach the seller who only cared about his own agenda — and nobody counted the cost of your trip.
The car can look clean and excellent outside, but what's hidden is bigger than what's visible. Without a professional inspection you pay for the car 'as it looks' — and the hidden part, you pay for later. This article shows, in real numbers, how a pre-purchase inspection saves you actual money.

1. Losing Your Workday and Day Off
You agreed a time with the car's owner, but the timing didn't suit you. So you either leave work or give up your day off — or postpone it! All of that, just to see a car that hasn't even been inspected yet.
Cars Point's mobile inspection comes to the car's location, at a time that suits you. No trips, no waiting, no wasted day.
2. Hidden Trips and Costs
The car is far from you? You'll burn 100 dirhams of fuel, and if the appointment falls through, the whole trip is wasted. A lost trip + fuel + opportunity.
And worse: if a problem appears after purchase, the diagnosis itself at a service center costs you 500 dirhams before you even know what's broken.
3. Surprises at the Viewing
You reach the car, and once you pay for the diagnosis at a service center, you discover:
- The car has no license plates.
- A 100-dirham tow truck to the inspection center.
- The inspection itself will cost you 500 dirhams.
- And if you don't like it, another 100 dirhams to tow it back!
4. Wasted Time and Mental Stress
The seller was late? You waited under the sun? You lost two hours of your day?
And in the end, the car wasn't what the seller promised — all of that wasted for no decision at all!
With Cars Point, you don't move at all. We go, we inspect, and we send you the result. You just decide.
Why Inspecting at a Center Costs You More: the Car Is the One That Has to Move
Many people think about the inspection but miss a decisive point: inspecting at a center means the car itself has to travel there. The seller must free up his time and drive it over, or you pay a 100–200 dirham tow truck each way — and if you don't like the car, you pay the same again to send it back!
Our method is completely different: we come to the car's owner and inspect it at its location, anywhere in the UAE. Zero transport costs, zero tow trucks, and the seller doesn't have to move an inch. That's exactly why our inspection ends up cheaper than any alternative — you only pay for the inspection itself, and all the trip and transport costs are on us.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase car inspection cost in the UAE?
Cars Point's full inspection is 450 AED, and the full inspection with wiring harness and fuse box is 550 AED. Compared to engine or gearbox repairs that can cost thousands, the inspection is a small investment protecting you from a big loss.
Is a pre-purchase inspection really worth the money?
Yes. An inspection can uncover a fault, accident or repaint that drops the price by hundreds of dirhams, or stops you from buying a car needing thousands in repairs. Even if the car is clean, you buy it with peace of mind instead of worry.
Where does Cars Point's mobile inspection reach?
We reach the car wherever it is across all Emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. We inspect the car in front of you with specialized equipment and send the report within hours.
How long do the inspection and report take?
The full inspection takes about two hours on the car itself, and the detailed photo report reaches you within hours of finishing the inspection.
