Exotic & Supercar Pre-Purchase Inspection
Independent exotic-car pre-purchase inspection: detailed body documentation, undertray condition, service-history verification, OBD scan, road test. 90+ photos, report in 24 hours.
Specialty · Exotic & High-Value
A $200K supercar is one inspection away from a $40K repair bill. The car looks right in photos. The job is to confirm it is right under the carbon and behind the leather.
Why a exotic inspection is different
Exotic inspections take longer and require deeper documentation: undertray crack-survey, panel-gap mapping, paint-thickness readings to spot bondo, full service-history verification against VIN, and a careful read on how the car has been driven. A standard pre-purchase is the wrong tool here.
Scope note: We do not perform paint-correction estimates or detailing assessments. We document defects; the cost-to-correct conversation is between you and a marque shop.

Frequently asked
How is this different from your Gold inspection?
Gold runs 2 to 3 hours and produces 90+ photos on a typical car. Exotic inspections add VIN-stamp matching, service-record line-item verification, paint-thickness mapping, and undertray survey — items that are time-intensive and require equipment a standard pre-purchase does not need.
Will you remove the undertray?
Where the seller authorizes and the panel is fastener-accessible, yes. On glued or one-time-clip undertrays we document from below at the access points without removal. We never remove panels that risk damage.
Do you have inspectors with marque-specific experience?
Yes. We dispatch based on vehicle make. Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, AMG, and high-end GT-spec cars route to inspectors with documented marque experience or marque-shop background. If we do not have a credentialed inspector for your specific car, we tell you before booking.
How long does an exotic inspection take?
Three to four hours on-site, plus a 24-hour report write-up window. Auction pickups can be expedited to same-day report on request.
