01 · Buying from abroad

A car near Nuremberg.
You don’t have to be.

Found a car near Nuremberg? Send me the advert, vehicle location and your questions. I inspect it in person at the seller's premises or, by arrangement, in an inspection facility. Depending on the agreed scope and access, checks can include paint thickness, visible body repairs, accessible mechanical components, the underside and diagnostic fault codes. Seller consent and suitable conditions are needed for a test drive, collection or dismantling.

You receive the agreed documentation and an explanation of findings, inspection limits and unresolved questions to support your purchase decision.

Accident damage reports

After an accident, I document the damage and assess the technically necessary repair work. Depending on the case, an assessment can also consider loss in market value, replacement value, salvage value and repair time. Inspection is available by arrangement at the vehicle location or in my Nuremberg inspection facility.

The appropriate investigation, fees and any possible insurance reimbursement are discussed before you instruct ProCheck.

03

Lease return checks

Understand the visible condition of your car before returning it. I document findings within the agreed scope and discuss them with reference to your return conditions and damage catalogue. Bring the lease documents, service records and information about earlier repairs.

The check helps you clarify open points; the leasing company makes its own return assessment.

Vehicle valuations

For a purchase, sale or insurance request, I assess the vehicle's observable condition, specification and records together with the relevant market. Classic cars, motorhomes and modified vehicles may need additional documentation. We agree the purpose, valuation date and scope in advance.

A valuation relates to a specific date and purpose; it does not guarantee a sale price.

Practical knowledge behind the assessment

Bodywork experience.
Behind every assessment.

More than 20 years of hands-on bodywork experience.

My background includes body repairs on Porsche and Audi vehicles, BMW and MINI, sports cars, classics and motorhomes. Porsche training in steel and multi-material body repair, aluminium welding training and work with Car-O-Liner, Celette and Blackhawk support my understanding of body structures and previous repairs.

This experience comes from my earlier repair work. Today, ProCheck provides independent inspections and assessments; ProCheck does not offer vehicle repairs.

A personal, agreed process

From your first message to clear findings

  1. Tell me about the vehicle

    Send the vehicle location, model and your concern. For a purchase, include the advert and seller contact details.

  2. Agree the inspection

    We confirm access, scope, location, fees, travel costs, documentation and an appointment before the work starts.

  3. I inspect the vehicle in person

    I record the agreed findings and identify inaccessible areas or any further investigation needed.

  4. Receive the agreed findings

    I send the agreed documentation. You can send follow-up questions in English via WhatsApp or email. The language and format of written reports are agreed before booking.

Before you book

Your questions,
answered.

Can I arrange an inspection from another country?

Yes. You can instruct ProCheck remotely while I inspect the vehicle in person near Nuremberg. Vehicle access and the seller's consent must be arranged beforehand. Send the advert and location first so that we can discuss what is feasible.

How can I contact you in English?

Please contact me in writing via WhatsApp or email. Technical telephone calls and on-site explanations are in German or Russian. Please agree the language and format of written documentation before booking; an English-language written report is not automatically included.

Do you inspect all makes?

Yes. ProCheck inspects vehicles of all makes. My practical experience with Porsche, Audi, BMW and other brands is part of my background, rather than a restriction on the vehicles I accept.

Will an inspection find every hidden fault?

No. The result describes the agreed checks at the inspection date. Access, seller permission and dismantling limits affect what can be examined. I document limitations and unresolved points. A clear fault-code scan alone does not prove that a car is fault-free.

What does an inspection cost?

Fees depend on the service, vehicle, agreed scope and travel. We clarify the total price and any separately agreed work before you instruct ProCheck. Your first enquiry is not an order.

How quickly can I receive an accident report?

Accident reports are usually completed on the inspection day when the necessary documents and findings are available. Salvage valuation, additional investigation or research can take longer. We discuss the expected timescale for your case.

Where will the inspection take place?

By arrangement at the vehicle location, a suitable workshop or the ProCheck inspection facility at Orffstrasse 28, 90439 Nuremberg. Both my inspection facility and office are attended by appointment only.

Accident assessment fees and insurance

Where another party is fully liable for an accident in Germany, their liability insurer will generally reimburse the necessary expert assessment costs. Minor damage or disputed or shared liability can affect reimbursement. For a claim under your own vehicle insurance, agree the assessor and payment with your insurer first.

We discuss your case, the need for a report and the fees before you instruct ProCheck. An assessment does not replace legal advice.
