Car inspection cost in Bangalore (Bengaluru): what you pay, and what it buys

An inspection is the one part of buying a car where you spend a small, fixed amount to find out what the large, uncertain amount is really worth. The packages and their current prices are listed below, read straight from our booking system, so the price you see here is the price you pay at checkout. The rest of this page is about what that money buys.

What decides the price

Two things: whether the car is new or used, and how deep you want us to go. A new-car pre-delivery inspection (PDI) is a different job from a used-car inspection: there is no service book or ownership record to read yet, and the questions are about transit damage, stock age and delivery paperwork. On used cars, the larger packages add depth rather than a longer checklist of the same things:

  • An OBD engine scan for stored and pending fault codes
  • Paint thickness and colour match measured on every body panel, which is how a repaint is found
  • The manufacturer service record, where the brand makes it available
  • Registration, insurance, pollution certificate and loan (hypothecation) status
  • A written negotiation position based on what was found

What one inspection found, against what it cost

A 2022 Jeep Compass with 35,368 km and one owner, inspected in Bengaluru in September 2026. It looked well kept and the automated summary graded it well. Underneath: brake pads worn to metal with the discs already resurfaced once, seven body panels repainted, an accident repair recorded in the service book five weeks after delivery, a timing belt that falls due on age in early 2027, an expired pollution certificate and an open bank loan on the car. None of that was in the listing. Every finding is set out in the anonymised sample report linked below.

What you get for the money

Our recent reports run to about 265 checkpoints across 16 areas, from baseline photos and documents through paint, glass, tyres, brakes, underbody, engine, electricals and a road test. You get a same-day digital report that puts the findings in order of importance, marks what we could not check, and tells you what to ask the seller before any money moves.

When not to pay for an inspection

If the seller will not let an independent inspector see the car, you already have your answer, and no report is needed to walk away. And if you have already decided against a car, do not spend money confirming it. An inspection earns its cost on the car you are about to buy.
