    Hi,

    Has anybody had the 4 star service from Cartell where you get a vehicle inspection. If so, what was it like and what was the waiting time to have the inspection carried out?

    Thanks,

    Mike.

    I got the 4 Star on an A4 before i purchased it. The guy that came out looked the part, magnifying glass to look at the paintwork :rolleyes:
    He was so busy checking paintwork and windows that he missed the fact that it needed a new exhaust and the internal adjusters for the headlights were knackered :mad:
    Previously, i used Carcheck, and i would recommend them over Cartell anytime.
    But then, thats only my experience of them, maybe others can give you more details.

    i had a car brought into them a few months back and thought they were very good(actually got the seller to bring it in as I couldn't get off work) guy called me up on the phone after and gave me a list of little things that were about to go(fairly old car) but he actually said for the year and price he thought it was an ok buy but that I should try beat the seller up an other 300 euro to cover wheel bearings, missing battery cover etc which were going to cost me later on.

    I don't know about Cartell but a used car is worth checking with a qualified mechanic.
    It could help in getting a better price if the problems are not major.

    Bit drastic?
