Buying Used Car

AussiePaki
By AussiePaki

Hi all, I have found a used car that I really like and wish to buy. My only question cis an anyone tell me of a good mechanic who can honestly do a good test of the car to tell me about its overall state, gears, brakes and engine? Please specify the address (also preferably phone number) of your preferred mechanic in as much detail as you can. Thanks a lot everyone in anticipation. Regards.

They usually do good tests because they have no interest in not having them done well. I also want to buy a car and I was searching for auto dealer websites. I can't really decide on the type of car I want. I was thinking of a big one, a van or something because I need space! Anyway, I'm still saving money for it so it may take me a while. Good luck with your car!

Go to German Car Inspection Centre, Salwa Road Near Ain Khalid R/A. Cost is about Qr.150-200 only. They will provise you a detailed report/history. Or else there are lot of Inspection Centres on both side of Salwa Road after Azzizia R/A towards Bu Samra.

If not Car Maxx, what is a good service in Doha?

think you can do it on your own..... ask the car history and last check up of the car.

with any of them..

These are the places which do vehicle inspection before you buy it.

FYI only.

Did you seriously just recommend Car Maxx? Their service is a joke.

Their sign might look expensive but the service they provide is awful.

Good luck with that. Steer clear of that place, seriously.
