How can one check the history of the car like maintenance, accident or service history. In every advertisement of the car, people used to write "Accident Free", but in most cases, car have at least one or two accident, which is not easily detectable through Car Inspection Company. Share your opinion in this regard.

A good experienced mechanic or tinsmith can easily detect body damages even if it has been touched up professionally; Bring one for inspection

We had just bought a pre-owned car. We were looking for cars and if we finalised we had got it checked at German Auto Specialist Center on Salwa Road. From there we had found out that many of the cars had minor accidents and had touch up done to them. German Auto Specialist Center also do a full techinal computer checkup of the engine and check the condition of the engine, cylinders, car stability,etc.

Their Ph # is 468 7377. They are open during Ramadan after 7p.m.

Cal the insurance company and find out by the number of the plate or name of the owner if there has been any reported accident/incident with the car.

Just like that!!

How about those who claim a low mileage by tampering with the car fuse box ? In my sense if you're not able to detect traces of an accident then it is probably not worth mentioning...For best results buy a new car :)

depends on the owner of the car..if she/he reported the accident/s i believe u can check it to the traffic dept..but some owners are not doing that especially if its only a small accident..try ur luck and go to the traffic dept..
