Free inspection · Motor trade only

Still paying to inspect Korean cars?

Somewhere in Korea there is a car you are thinking about, and somebody wants to invoice you before you are even allowed to look at it properly. We think that is backwards. Send us the listing link. Your first three inspections cost you nothing.

01 · The problem

Buying a car you cannot see is a bet. Most exporters charge you to improve the odds.

Worried about hidden defects? Every car passes a 24-point inspection before it leaves Korea.

You pay before you decide

Around $215 a car for someone to look at it properly. You pay it whether you buy the car or walk away.

Seller photos are sales photos

Six good angles in good light. No underbody, no cold start, no fault codes, no accident history.

Reports that only find good news

If every report says "excellent condition", it is not an inspection. It is marketing, and you find out at the port.

Korea is asleep when you work

Seoul runs seven to eight hours ahead of Europe. Ask a question in your afternoon and most exporters answer tomorrow.

02 · Our answer

Send a link. Our own inspector is at the car within 24 hours.

You never negotiate access with the seller. We book the visit, send the regional inspector, and publish everything to a private vehicle page that comes to your WhatsApp.

In the photo set

  • Exterior from every angle, plus a close-up of each finding
  • Interior, seats, headliner, boot and spare wheel well
  • Engine bay and underbody
  • Instrument cluster with odometer and warning lights
  • All four tyres with tread visible

Why the desk works at night

  • Most of your working afternoon falls after a Korean office closes. We staff those hours on purpose, and your thread lives on the company WhatsApp account, not one salesperson's phone.

Regional teams: Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Daegu, Ulsan, Busan, Changwon and Gyeongnam. Anywhere in the country is reachable inside a day.

Insurance claimsSeven on record between 2014 and 2024, each with date and exact amount. Total recorded repair cost ₩15,187,020.
Appraiser's notesEngine, transmission, paint, interior, monitor and seats normal. Coolant leak, air conditioning and exterior condition marked as faults. Two keys.
Read that table again. That car has frame damage and a coolant leak, and we published both at the top of its page. A report that only ever finds good news is not an inspection.

Roughly what it costs an overseas buyer to have one Korean car looked at properly before committing to it.
