Independent pre-purchase inspection · Bulgaria

Know the car before you buy it.

An independent specialist inspects the exact car you're about to buy: photos, measurements and a clear recommendation. Spending €15,000? Decide with evidence, not hope.

Example: a report with a “don't buy” recommendation and two problems.

The screens show sample data.

  • Your money stays with Rydeal until you accept the report or 72 h pass without a dispute
  • Inspection photos carry a time and, where allowed, GPS
  • The seller refuses the inspection? You get your money back in full

Photos and a test drive can't see repaired crash damage.

Rust under fresh underseal, a welded chassis rail, a clocked odometer, a gearbox on its way out. The things that cost thousands are exactly the things a seller's photos won't show. By the time you find out, the money's gone.

How it works

Four steps. No account needed to start.

The screens show sample data.

  1. Tell us the car

    Paste the listing or enter the details and where it is. Two minutes.

    Example: the first step, the listing link and a city.

  2. Specialists offer

    Verified specialists near the car send a price and a time. You pick.

    Example: a specialist's offer with a price, a day and a time.

    Example: a second offer to compare.

  3. They go and look

    On site, with tools (paint gauge, OBD, lift), documenting everything.

    Example: an inspection photo with GPS coordinates and a time.

  4. You get the recommendation

    A detailed report: problems, evidence, a recommended price, buy or don't.

An instrument, not an opinion.

Verified, independent specialists
Every specialist is reviewed and approved by a human. They work for you, never the seller.
Evidence with provenance
Inspection photos carry a time and, where allowed, GPS. The report is submitted by the specialist and immutable after delivery.
Your money is held until you accept the report
You pay upfront, but the money stays with Rydeal. The specialist receives it only once you accept the report, or 72 hours pass without you opening a dispute.

Before you decide

When do I pay?

After you accept an offer. You pay the amount on the offer, VAT included, and it does not change.

Where is my money until the inspection?

In Rydeal's balance. The specialist receives it only once you accept the report, or 72 hours pass without you opening a dispute.

What if the seller refuses the inspection or does not show up?

The specialist records it with a reason, and you get your money back in full.

The car is not in Sofia. Can I still use Rydeal?

Yes. A request can be published anywhere. If there are no specialists in the area yet, we tell you before you publish, not after.

How are the specialists vetted?

Every applicant is reviewed by hand (profile, equipment and area) before they see a single request. Once approved, their equipment cannot be changed.

What exactly do I get?

A report with a recommendation (buy, buy after repairs or a discount, or don't buy), problems ranked by how serious they are, and photos with a time and, where allowed, GPS. Depending on the tier, also a recommended price and negotiation points. Once delivered, the report cannot be changed.

Don't buy the risk.

Tell us the car. A specialist looks at it before you spend a cent.
