Most dealership PDI is a 10-minute visual wash. Our inspection takes 2-3 hours and involves high-tech forensic tools.
We use Elcometer gauges to check every panel. If a panel was repainted at the dealership due to transit damage, we'll find it.
We pull full diagnostic history from the car's computer to see if any sensors failed during initial testing at the factory.
We verify the manufacturing date to ensure you aren't being sold "Stale Stock" that has been sitting for 6+ months.
Dealerships are sales-driven organizations. Their internal PDI is often biased because they want to move inventory as quickly as possible.
One small investment today can save you from a multi-thousand dollar repair tomorrow.
Taking delivery of a new car is a milestone event. However, the process of buying a car doesn't end when you make the payment. The most critical phase is the Pre-Delivery Inspection. In the automotive industry, PDI refers to the final thorough check of a vehicle before it is handed over to the customer.
At PDI Expert, our data shows that approximately 15% of vehicles inspected at showrooms have defects that warrant a rejection or immediate repair. Common issues include "Lot Rot," where cars sitting in dealer inventory develop rust on brake discs, flat spots on tires, and degraded rubber seals.
A new car should have a consistent paint thickness of 100 to 140 microns. If our digital gauges show 250+ microns on a single panel, it is a definitive sign that the panel was repainted at the dealership workshop. This significantly reduces the resale value of your vehicle.
Modern cars are "Computers on Wheels." Even if a car looks perfect on the outside, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) might be storing fault codes related to the Airbag system, ABS, or Fuel Injection. Our high-end scanners pull this data instantly, giving you a transparent look at the vehicle's health.
