How it works

A second opinion in three steps

Book it, get the inspection done, read the report. You decide whether to buy.

01

Book a slot

Open the MySyara app or book on the website. Tell us the car you're considering (make, model, year) and pick a time. Drive the car in to a MySyara garage, or arrange our pickup and drop so you don't have to.

Drive-in or pickup & drop
02

The car is inspected

At a MySyara garage the car goes on a lift, and a technician works through the checklist: mechanical, electrical, body, tyres and fluids for the Basic; all of that plus an OBD scan, paint-thickness gauge and road test for the Full. Nothing about the car is taken on face value.

03

You get a digital report

The findings go into a digital inspection report that is yours to keep. It covers what was checked, what passed, and anything that needs attention, so you go into the negotiation or the purchase with your eyes open.

Not sure which tier to pick? The Full inspection is worth it for cars above AED 40,000 or anything over 80,000 km. The OBD scan and paint-thickness gauge are what catch the costly surprises.

I booked a car inspection and within a couple of hours, my car was picked up from my office. Hadi coordinated everything from car pickup to the detailed inspection report. I was shared a detailed inspection report with pictures. After delivering the car, Hadi followed up in a week's time to check if everything was fine. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

A Basic 50-point inspection is AED 299. A Full 100-point inspection, which adds an OBD scan, a paint-thickness gauge and a road test, is AED 499. Both are flat prices regardless of the car's make, model or emirate.
The Basic tier is a 50-point check across mechanical, electrical, body, tyres and fluids, with a digital report. The Full tier extends to 100 points and adds an OBD scan (reads all fault codes across every module), a paint-thickness gauge (spots previous resprays and accident repairs), and a road test.
If the car has undisclosed accident damage, hidden fault codes or a failing component, the inspection cost is a fraction of what you'd spend finding out after you've signed. It also gives you solid grounds to renegotiate the price if the report turns up problems.
Inspections are available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman. The inspection is carried out at a MySyara garage: you can drive the car in, or arrange pickup and drop when you book through the app or website.
The Basic is a 50-point mechanical, electrical, body, tyre and fluid check that covers the core areas most buyers need. The Full adds 50 more check points, an OBD diagnostic scan across all vehicle modules, a paint-thickness gauge reading (which catches accident repairs and resprays a visual check misses), and a road test. For higher-value cars or any car with significant mileage, the Full tier is usually the better call.
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons buyers request it. A digital report with specific findings (a failing sensor, a respray on a rear quarter-panel, brake wear) is a factual basis for renegotiation or for walking away.

What the report actually tells you

A pre-purchase inspection gives you a digital record, not a verbal opinion. The Basic tier’s 50-point check works through the mechanical systems (engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes), the electrical systems, the body for rust, panel misalignment or signs of previous repair, the tyres for wear and condition, and all fluid levels. Every point is checked and recorded.

The Full tier runs to 100 points and adds three tools that catch what a visual inspection cannot. An OBD diagnostic scan reads the fault codes stored across every module in the car, including codes the seller may have cleared before showing you the car but that return after a few cold starts. A paint-thickness gauge measures the depth of the paint at every panel, which shows up respray patches and filler that look identical to the original paint to the naked eye. A road test puts the car under load, which is when transmission hesitation, brake fade, steering pull and suspension noise tend to show themselves.

When the Basic is enough, and when it isn’t

The Basic is the right choice for a low-mileage car with a clean history, a newer model under warranty, or a budget buy where the numbers are already tight. If the car has covered significant mileage, is above AED 40,000, or the seller’s answers about its history feel vague, the Full inspection earns its extra cost quickly. A single fault code pointing to a failing sensor or gearbox issue that the OBD scan catches can be worth far more than the AED 200 difference between the two tiers.

Either way, the report is yours. Book an inspection before you commit.
