Will the report print a paint reading for every panel?
A good respray matches the colour, so your eye cannot catch it. Only a reading per panel shows which panels were redone and how much of the car it covers.
InspektAI: Yes. Every panel, in microns. On a 2013 Honda City: 14 of 17 panels repainted, 183 to 552 µm against 139 to 166 µm on the untouched ones.

Do you measure colour match, or just look at it?
A shade-off respray shows up as a colour mismatch; a perfect match still gives itself away in thickness. You need both.
InspektAI: Measured with a colorimeter on every panel, printed beside the thickness reading.

Will you read the full service history, visit by visit?
Accidents, insurance claims and jobs the owner refused are in the dealer record, not on the car.
InspektAI: Yes. The same City: 30 dealer visits decoded, three accident repairs on record, two of them structural.

Will it tell me what falls due next?
An overdue service or a big job due on age is a cost you inherit the day you buy.
InspektAI: Yes. The maker’s schedule for that exact engine, set against the last service on record.

Will it tell me what to ask off the price?
A list of faults is only useful if it turns into a number at the table.
InspektAI: Yes. Comparable asking prices in Bengaluru, then each finding with a suggested cut: ₹38,000 to ₹55,000 on that City.

Do you sell, finance or insure cars?
An inspector paid by the sale has a reason to pass the car.
InspektAI: No. We do not sell, finance or insure the cars we inspect, and take nothing from the sale.
