About Us

Car Inspections Ireland is your ticket to peace of mind and road safety if you’re thinking of buying a second-hand vehicle – or if you have problems with one you’ve already bought.

Our expert and professional engineers will examine that vehicle inside and out, with our thorough 100-point check.

This will tell us if that vehicle has been:

• Crashed

• Clocked

• Cloned

Case Studies Examples

Example 1 – ‘Clocked’ Vehicle

Example 2 – Cloned Vehicle

Example 3 – Crashed Car For Sale

We’ll also identify any other dangerous defects or parts about to give out, and let you know with an immediate phone call and a detailed follow-up report.

Our 100-point inspection covers:

• Cars, jeeps, SUVs, etc.

• Classic cars

• Motorbikes

• Camper vans / Motorhomes

• Light commercial vehicles (up to 3.5 tonnes)

We will also carry out a full vehicle history and finance check, covering both Ireland and the UK. The history check will signal any alerts for previous crashes, clocking, or write-offs, while the finance report will indicate if any finance remains owing on the vehicle by previous owners.

Give yourself peace of mind with a Car Inspections Ireland check, and you will be able to buy with confidence.

Other services provided by Car Inspections Ireland include:

• ‘Lease and Return’ dispute resolution – when you return a car you’ve b ought under the ‘halfway rule’ of a leasing deal, only for a dispute to arise with the dealership over its condition

• Warranty non-cover dispute resolution – when a fault develops that you feel should be covered by the warranty, but the dealer says otherwise

• Fraudulent sales resolution – if we find that you’ve purchased a vehicle that was fraudulently sold (e.g. clocked, previously written off, or other non-disclosure), then we can advise and help with the resolution pathways open to you
