Europe-wide coverage

We currently cover the following countries as online motor vehicle experts:

and very soon:

We are currently developing plans to expand our services to other countries, and we will soon be able to offer you our online motor vehicle expert services there too.

In the countries where we already operate, we have a network of vehicle experts that already numbers over 500.

Our EU used car condition reports are aimed at anyone who wants to buy or sell a used vehicle or a used classic or vintage car in Europe or in Germany, whether privately or professionally.

Our online vehicle experts provide security and transparency

A lack of transparency and uncertainty regarding the quality of a used, young or classic car can put the consumer in a difficult situation after the purchase, especially in terms of defects, accident or previous damage.

This is why we offer you our EU used vehicle condition report (hereinafter also referred to as an “expert report”), which provides greater security, reliability, and transparency in transactions between private individuals, but also with car dealers or car dealerships.

A professional vehicle appraisal from CertifyCar assures you, whether you are a buyer or seller, private customer or business customer, that the vehicle has undergone an independent technical used car appraisal, in which over 150 points are checked, by an external and impartial service provider.

Our appraisal gives you maximum transparency regarding the quality of the vehicle you want. Whether it is an annual car, youngtimer or classic car, we check all vehicles, whether classic cars, used cars or electric cars, in Europe for defects, accident damage and previous damage according to a process certified by TÜV Austria (ISO 9001, ISO 14001).

Imagine you put your vehicle up for sale on the Internet. A prospective buyer from another EU country contacts you and expresses interest. There is not enough time to view the vehicle in person, and the effort and distance involved are too much.

USP

To solve this problem, either the seller or the interested party can commission us to prepare a TÜV-certified vehicle appraisal. In the seller’s country, our online vehicle expert carries out the appraisal, including photo documentation on site, and requests the necessary data and information from the seller in order to finalise the appraisal. After our internal quality assurance, the completed vehicle appraisal is sent online to the client in their language and in the language of the interested party.

This allows you to send it to the prospective buyer in their own language. This gives the prospective buyer a much more accurate impression of the vehicle, enabling them to make a much better purchase decision. This saves buyers and sellers time and money. Our online vehicle experts abroad prepare the appraisals in every country — whether in Spain, France, Belgium, Portugal, or Switzerland — according to the same high quality standards, certified by TÜV Austria (ISO 9001 and ISO 14001). From analysis to inspection, we check over 150 different condition items. Based on the chassis number, we also call up all the vehicle’s special equipment and check it is complete.
