Carexamer - inspector Klavs Simkus was perfect. Klavs carried out pre purchase inspections for me. I was interesting to buy Mercedes CLA, but before deciding to buy a car, I organised independent mechanic first. This was very good idea. I contacted to CAREXAMER, and I make an appointment for inspection of the car. The mechanic from carexamer is very knowledgeable, informative, and detailing. He emailed me a full report and video message about the car condition. The photos and report were very detailed even the paintwork thickness was measured to highlight any areas which had been resprayed! Inspector helped me decide that the car wasn’t for me. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone buying a used car. Klavs, I wish you all the best super job, well done!!! I'm going to use carexamer again (soon) Thanks Przemyslaw
