YOUR TRUSTED
INSPECTION PARTNER
Whether you are buying a vehicle locally or sourcing one from another country, buying a used car involves risks. DAExport provides expert auto diagnostics and comprehensive second hand car inspection. You don't need to be an automotive expert – you can simply hire a mechanic to do the heavy lifting — or let our Car Finder source the right car for you from €49.
Expert Price Negotiation
In both cases, our rigorous pre-purchase car inspection gives us the perfect leverage to negotiate the final price with the seller — available as an optional add-on for €99 incl. VAT.
1. Remote Inspection
(We go for you)Found a great car but can't inspect it yourself? We schedule the viewing and perform a meticulous vehicle inspection in Germany, a car check in the Netherlands, or Belgium. You receive a detailed PDF report containing high-quality photos, videos, OBD scan results, paint thickness measurements, and a test drive evaluation. Need it delivered? We also organize towing and transport directly to you.
2. Accompanied Check
(We go with you)Buying a car nearby but unsure about its true condition? Have an expert mechanic check the car right by your side. Our diagnostician will meet you at the agreed location and time, fully equipped with professional OBD scanners and paint meters, to evaluate the vehicle together with you.
WHAT DO WE CHECK?
1. Body & Paint
Detailed measurement of paint thickness on every element. We check for hidden accident repairs, structural damage, rust, and the condition of all glass components.
2. Engine & Drivetrain
Thorough inspection of engine operation (cold/warm starts), checking for fluid leaks, condition of the timing belt/chain, turbocharger performance, and smooth gearbox shifting.
3. Computer Diagnostics
Full OBD2 scan of all modules. We verify the real mileage stored in the system, check active and historical error codes, DPF filter status, and live injector parameters.
4. Interior & Electronics
Assessment of interior wear and tear. We test all electronics, including air conditioning, multimedia systems, seat adjustments, window controls, and lighting.
5. Suspension & Brakes
Visual inspection of brake pads and discs. We look for suspension leaks, worn out components, shock absorber condition, and check the undercarriage for excessive corrosion.
6. Test Drive
If permitted by the seller, we conduct a dynamic test drive. We verify acceleration, steering alignment, braking efficiency, and listen for any disturbing noises from the chassis.
MAKE THE RIGHT CALL.
Buying a car without a clear understanding of its condition is a gamble. While we can't inspect the inner workings of an engine, our comprehensive visual and computer diagnostics can reveal countless hidden issues. Don't take chances; let us help you make an informed decision.
A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT:
Inspect Together

WITHOUT
THE RISK
Pre-purchase car inspection across Western Europe
Buying a car abroad? Before you pay, we run an independent pre-purchase car inspection right at the seller's location in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, north-eastern France, the Czech Republic or Slovakia. A full inspection, OBD computer diagnostics, 50+ photos, paint-thickness measurement and a test drive — then hard facts to negotiate the price. Start with a free VIN check, then order the full inspection.
Car inspection in Germany
Germany is Europe's largest used-car market, but not every listing is what it seems. We carry out the car inspection in Germany on site: history, technical condition and diagnostics before you pay a single euro.
Car check in the Netherlands
Dutch cars often look well kept, yet a hidden accident history is easy to miss. Our car check in the Netherlands covers bodywork, suspension, electronics and a full computer diagnostic.
Car inspection in Belgium
Our base in Antwerp lets us reach any car in Belgium fast. Order your car inspection in Belgium — and if you decide to buy, we also help arrange transport.
Car inspection in north-eastern France
Lille, the Ardennes, Reims, Metz — we carry out the car inspection in France along the Belgian border: Nord, Aisne, Ardennes, Marne and the parts of Meuse, Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle within 400 km. Alsace and the rest of France on an individual quote.
Independent car inspector before you buy
We act as your independent car inspector: an objective, emotion-free assessment of the vehicle, so your decision rests on facts, not the seller's promises.
Import a car from Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands
Cars in Western Europe are often cheaper and better maintained, which is why more buyers choose to import a car from Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands. The risk is buying blind, hundreds of kilometres away. We travel to the vehicle and run the inspection at the source before you buy — real condition, mileage, computer diagnostics and 50+ photos — so you only import a car that is genuinely worth it.
