Having an objective picture of your vehicle can be useful at all times, but especially:
- Before buying or selling a used vehicle
Before a warranty expires
Before returning your vehicle after a long-term lease
Before heading out on a long road trip
To prevent a breakdown caused by a mechanical defect
After a repair, if you have doubts about the the quality of the work performed
After the inspection, you’ll be given a clear and accurate report1 of all the checks performed for your choice of inspection.

To get a sense of the overall condition of the vehicle. If you are pressed for time or have a limited budget for an inspection, Express Route is the perfect solution for you.
This inspection includes a brief road test and focuses on the behaviour of the engine, bodywork, suspension, brakes, etc.
Note: Customers choosing Express Route can conduct a preliminary visual examination check of the vehicle using the document Inspect it yourself. This preliminary, optional check doesn’t require any special knowledge of auto mechanics. It can help determine whether a vehicle is in such poor condition that it isn’t worth spending money to have it inspected professionally. Moreover, this preliminary examination can also be used to complete certain items of the Express Route inspection.
