How it works

How the Single Vehicle Check works

Ideal if you already have a favourite.

  • 1. First meeting

    You show us the listing you are interested in and tell us what matters to you.

  • 2. We check the car and call the dealership

    We verify the listing, do due diligence, call the dealer, check for discrepancies, run a VIN check with vehicle history, check the dealer’s reviews, explain the CarTurf process and ask about the condition, open questions and the maintenance history.

  • 3. We report back and help you buy

    We tell you what we found. If you decide to buy, we assist you with the purchase.

Who it’s for

  • You already have a favourite and want it checked properly before you pay.
  • You cannot easily call the dealership yourself, for example because of the language or the distance.
