I had a great experience with Carexamer, particularly with inspector Klavs Simkus. When I was considering purchasing a Mercedes C Class, I thought it wise to have an independent inspector assess the car beforehand. Klavs impressed me with his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. He provided me with a comprehensive report and a video message detailing the car's condition. The report was very thorough, Klavs did an outstanding job, and I'm grateful for his expertise. As a result of his report, the seller resolved issues which saved me a potential cost of £1700. I am buying the car. Thanks, Devinder

Klavs has inspected many vehicles for me including when I buy them without viewing them. He is my 'go to' car inspector
