What a vehicle appraisal is
A vehicle appraisal is a systematic inspection and documentation of a car's current condition. Its most common use is the used-car purchase: a seller's description and a vehicle's real state do not always match, and repainted panels, replaced parts or mechanical wear only become visible through an on-site examination.
Why it matters
In the used-car market, appearance can be misleading. A clean-looking car may carry past accident repairs, early signs of engine wear or stored fault codes in its electronics. An appraisal makes these unknowns visible before you commit — so your negotiation rests on facts, and the running costs that follow the purchase do not arrive as a surprise.
What the inspection covers
- Bodywork and paint condition, including detection of resprayed or replaced panels
- A general health assessment of the engine and mechanical systems
- Scanning of the electronic systems for stored fault codes
- A review of the running gear, brakes and tyres
At the end of the inspection, the findings are explained to you in plain language: what each observation means and how significant it really is.

Appraisals are not only for buyers. Owners preparing to sell also use them to document their car's condition and give prospective buyers confidence. Our workshop in Bornova, İzmir carries out appraisals for many makes and models — book via the online appointment form or contact us by phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas of the car does the appraisal cover?
The assessment is planned to cover bodywork and paint, engine and mechanical components, electronic systems and the running gear. The aim is a complete, impartial picture of the car's current condition; the exact scope can be clarified with you where needed.
How does an appraisal help my buying decision?
The report reveals known and hidden issues, replaced panels and past repairs. That knowledge strengthens your position in negotiation and keeps post-purchase surprises to a minimum.
Can I have my own car appraised before selling it?
Yes. Many owners document their car's condition before a sale to build buyer confidence and support their asking position. You can book through the online form or call the workshop.
