What our clients say
“Excellent experience with Autoinspect24 for the inspection of a Ford Focus RS MK2. Very detailed report, clear explanations and an inspection carried out with great professionalism and transparency. Very reassuring to have such a service, especially when buying a vehicle in Switzerland. Thank you very much.”
“Thanks to Autoinspect24’s inspection, I avoided buying a Lexus RX400h with serious hidden problems. The report was clear, detailed and saved me thousands of francs. An essential service before buying any second-hand vehicle in Switzerland.”
Buying without an inspection is risky
In Switzerland, a used car often represents an investment between 15,000 and 40,000 CHF. A hidden problem can turn that investment into a nightmare.
Without an inspection
-
Unexpected repairsEngine, transmission, hidden rust — costs can exceed 3,000–8,000 CHF after purchase.
-
Undisclosed accidentsConcealed repaints, damaged structure — invisible to the naked eye without paint thickness measurement.
-
Erased warning lightsOBD error codes can be reset before the sale. They come back a few weeks after purchase.
-
Falsified mileageA heavily worn vehicle sold as recent — hard to detect without a thorough mechanical examination.

Leaks, condition of belts and hoses, fluid levels, engine noises cold and warm.
Test drive
If permitted: engine behaviour, gearbox, steering, braking and suspension under real conditions.
OBD diagnostic
Reading of electronic error codes. Detection of hidden problems or warning lights erased before the sale.
Documents and consistency
Verification of mileage consistency with the actual condition of the vehicle and the service book.
Your investment is protected

My name is Rui
As a mechanic with extensive experience in diagnosing machines and vehicles, I created Autoinspect24 to help individuals buy with confidence.
I inspect every vehicle as if it were for myself: down to the smallest detail, without compromise. My report doesn’t try to make you buy — it gives you the facts.
Do you have questions?
Answers to the most common questions. For any other need, contact me directly.
No — nobody can guarantee the future of a vehicle. What I guarantee is a thorough check of everything that can be verified on-site, with honest documentation of the observed risks. You make your decision with full knowledge of the facts.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
Any refusal is clearly noted in the report. A seller who refuses a professional inspection is already in itself a serious warning sign to take into account in your decision.
No, that is the whole point of the service. You send me the listing, I handle the contact with the seller, the appointment scheduling and the inspection. You stay at home and receive the report in your inbox.
Yes, this is possible as an optional service depending on the distance and my schedule. Mention it in your request via the contact form and I will discuss the details with you.
I am based in Romont (Fribourg) and operate mainly in French-speaking Switzerland: Fribourg, Vaud, Bern, Neuchâtel. For more remote cantons (Valais, Zurich, Basel…), it is possible with a travel surcharge. Contact me to check your zone.
A complete inspection takes between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the condition of the vehicle and the points to be checked.
The report reflects factual and objective findings. If you have questions about a specific point, I am available to explain it in detail after the report is delivered.
Yes, I accept TWINT, bank transfer and cash. Payment is made on the day of the inspection.
I work mainly with private individuals, but I also accept mandates from fleet managers or small companies wishing to have vehicles inspected before purchase.
