How to check if a used car has been crashed

Postby aslamp on Wed Apr 08, 2009 9:57 pm

Hello all,

Do any of you know how or where in Dubai I can go in order to check/test if a used car you intend to buy has been crashed before. Basically I would like to check the car from a technical perspective to make sure all is as promised by the seller.

Thanks,
Aslam

Most good workshops will be able to check that during inspection.

There are few workshops in Al-Quoz with the Bosch instruments that can detect car health. I think Max, TR or Esquire (all of them in one area between the Barsha Police Station and Al-Khail Road) have these machines.

You can also go to Tasjeel, and they charge 250 Dhms for a full car checkup.
Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.

Thanks root for you response. I contact these garages/places...my idea is that if I am Not buying a car from garage then i can at least verify the car condition.
Any suggestions in buying used cars will be appreciated.

Cheers, Aslam
