Who does what
- GRANT AUTO sells the service, schedules the check with the seller, reviews the report and is liable to you for the contracted service.
- An independent mechanic carries out the check on site and sends photos, videos and comments on every point. They receive no money from the seller or from you.
- The dealership sells the car and provides an 18-month warranty.
What the report is — and what it is not
The report shows what could be seen and tested on the day, without disassembly, according to the published checklist. Whatever is not visible without disassembly is marked "not visible". It is not the mandatory periodic inspection (IPO), not a guarantee, insurance or certificate, and it does not predict future breakdowns.
