9 Out of 10 New Cars Have Hidden Defects.
Is Yours One of Them?
New cars often sit in open stockyards for months, exposed to sun, rain, and mishandling. Don't let the showroom lights fool you. Our comprehensive 60-minute inspection uncovers the scratches, dents, and repainted panels that dealers hide. Get an independent, area-by-area assessment and sign your delivery papers with absolute confidence.
Why You Need an Inspection for a "Brand New" Car
Your car isn't as "new" as you think. Before it reaches you, it travels thousands of kilometers and sits in open yards for months.
The Stockyard Reality
New cars often sit in open stockyards for months, exposed to scorching sun, heavy rain, and bird droppings that damage paintwork before you even see it.
The "It's Your Fault" Trap
If you drive off and find a scratch 2km later, the dealer can claim you did it. Once you sign the handover paper, proving it wasn't your fault becomes nearly impossible.
Hidden Repairs & Repaints
Damage happens during transport. Unscrupulous dealers may do a quick, cheap repaint to hide scratches. Our coating thickness gauge reveals these hidden repairs instantly.
The "Dark Delivery" Trick
Some agents schedule deliveries in the evening or in dimly lit areas to hide imperfections. We bring professional lighting to expose every defect, day or night.
4 Reasons New Car Buyers Choose CarCheck
98% of new car buyers miss defects on their cars. Here's why we're the clear choice for your new car inspection before signing the delivery form.
We Inspect by Area, Not by Confusing 'Points'
Here's the problem with the industry standard: competitors claim to do '180-point' inspections, but when you ask which points were checked, the answer is vague. Is the bumper one point or five? Does a 'point' mean a part or a specific defect? There's no consistency, no transparency, and no real standard.
At CarCheck, we take a different approach. We inspect by specific car areas—bumpers, bonnet, doors, windows, interior seats, and more. For each area, our inspectors check for a consistent set of defects: scratches, dents, paint thickness, swirl marks, water ingress, and other imperfections. This means you know exactly what was checked and what we found. No confusion, no vagueness, just complete transparency.
We See What Others Miss with Professional-Grade Tools
Our inspectors are equipped with the same tools used by professional detailers and paint correction specialists. We use a range of specialized lights to detect defects invisible to the naked eye:
- 3000K Warm Yellow Light reveals deep scratches, swirl marks, and orange peel texture in the paint.
- 4300K Neutral Light shows color uniformity, gloss level, and coating coverage—critical for spotting repainting or poor quality control.
- 6000K Cool White Light highlights dust, watermarks, and fingerprints that indicate handling or storage issues.
We also use a coating thickness gauge to verify if your car's paint is within the standard 80-150 micrometers range. Any deviation indicates repainting or poor factory quality. Combined with our dent line light for detecting even the smallest dents, we provide a level of detail that's simply unmatched in the market.

Sarah L.
BYD Atto 3 Owner
"Honestly, I was so scared to collect my EV. Last time I bought a car, got so many scratches I didn't see until I went home. This time I hired CarCheck. The inspector was super thorough! He found a small dent near the charging port that I totally missed. Dealer fixed it on the spot. Best RM159 spent."
Ahmad F.
Honda CR-V Owner
"Fuh, nasib baik panggil CarCheck. My SA was pushing me to sign fast fast. But the inspector cool je, check one by one. He found the paint thickness on the bonnet tak sama, like kena repaint before. I reject the unit and ask for new one. If not for CarCheck, I rugi besar bro."
Priya M.
Tesla Model 3 Owner
"My husband was busy so I had to collect the car alone. I was worried the dealer might bully me. But having the CarCheck guy there gave me so much confidence. He was very professional, checked everything from the glass roof to the tires. Very happy with the service."
Jason T.
Mazda CX-5 Owner
"Previous experience with another inspection company was bad, they just tick tick tick on paper only. But CarCheck is different. They really check by area. The guy used a special light to show me swirl marks on a brand new car! Dealer polished it back for me. Highly recommend."
