Vehicle inspection in Germany for dealers, importers and professional buyers.
Found a vehicle at a German dealership or private seller? Send us the listing. SCHNEIDER independently inspects the car in the Wolfsburg–Braunschweig region and provides clear photos, findings and an English report.
A local expert in Germany – working for you, not for the seller.
You do not need to travel to Germany just to discover repainting, accident repairs, worn brakes, damaged wheels or technical issues. We inspect the vehicle locally, document what we find and give you a clearer basis for your purchase decision.
Body & paint inspection
Visual body inspection, paint condition and paint thickness measurements to identify visible repair and repainting indications.
Accident & repair traces

Tyres, wheels & brakes
Condition of tyres, rims and visible brake components, including relevant wear or damage that can be assessed without dismantling.

Vehicle diagnostics can be included where technically possible and where the seller permits access to the vehicle.

Questions from international vehicle buyers.
Can you inspect a vehicle at a German dealership before I travel to Germany?
Yes. After receiving the vehicle listing and seller details, we can coordinate the inspection with the dealership or seller, subject to their availability and access to the vehicle.
Do I receive the result in English?
Yes. The inspection is documented for international customers in English, including relevant findings and photos.
Is a test drive included?
A test drive can be carried out when the seller permits it, the vehicle is roadworthy and the circumstances allow it. It cannot be guaranteed before access is confirmed.
Can you inspect the underbody?
Yes, where suitable lifting equipment is available and the seller or workshop permits its use. Otherwise the accessible underbody areas are inspected as far as reasonably possible.
Can you check an electric vehicle battery?
Depending on the vehicle, an AVILOO battery health test can be offered as an additional service. Availability and price are confirmed before the appointment.
What if the vehicle is outside Wolfsburg or Braunschweig?
Send us the listing. For locations outside the regular service area, we can provide an individual quote based on travel distance and the requested inspection scope.
Found the right car in Germany?
Send the listing before you travel or transfer money. We will check whether we can inspect the vehicle locally and provide an independent assessment.
