Buying a car shouldn't be a gamble.
Independent pre-purchase inspections in Tallinn. 10+ years, 5.0 ★ rating on Google. HD video report by email within 24 hours, plus follow-up consultation by phone.
See exactly what you get
Every inspection ends with an HD video report like this in your inbox. Kardo walks through the car's systems and explains every finding — you see the car's real condition with your own eyes, instead of taking the seller's word.
Which package do you actually need?
Three questions. We honestly recommend the smallest package that fits — we won't sell you more than you need.
How old is the car?
Every car gets a thorough expert review
The packages differ in scope and tools — not in care. We'll honestly tell you whether you need the Premium or whether you don't.

The defects sellers don't mention
Every inspection covers these five categories. Each one can hide a multi-thousand-euro problem.
Accidents
Hidden body damage, repair traces, deformed frame sections — what the eye doesn't catch.
Repair history
Does the service book match reality? Has the engine been opened? We cross-check multiple registries.
Repainted panels
A paint-thickness meter shows exactly which panels were repaired. Over 250 microns = previous damage.
Flood signs
Moisture under seats, wiring corrosion, erratic electronics — the classic signs of a flooded car.
Error codes
A professional diagnostics reader pulls both active AND archived codes. An archived code is often the first sign of a costly problem.
Special cases — buying, selling, repairs, diagnostics
Beyond the inspection packages, we help you find a car, prepare yours for sale, audit a repair bill, or drive out for diagnostics.
