As a used car trader looking to grow your dealership, youâre no stranger to the legwork associated with sourcing high-quality used vehicles for resale. For starters, you canât be in two places at once to assess in-demand vehicles; and having a team of vehicle inspection specialists on the payroll is prohibitively expensive.
Even with a lot well-stocked with first-rate vehicles, however, thereâs another common barrier to dealership growth to contend with: finding buyers. In the majority of cases, your market is limited to potential customers situated in your surrounding area. Especially in smaller cities and more remote locations, this can prove to be a seriously limiting factor.
Screanâs dealership car inspection service helps used car traders solve both of these problems.
SCREANâS DEALERSHIP CAR INSPECTION SERVICE IS SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO ASSESS VEHICLES INTENDED FOR RESALE THROUGH YOUR DEALERSHIP.
Screan is your link to a countrywide network of vehicle inspection experts specifically trained to assess used vehicles intended for resale through your dealership. Called âScreanersâ, these experienced inspectors are either mechanics, automotive professionals, or used car traders themselves.
Using a comprehensive 120-point checklist, Screaners comb over every detail of a prospective vehicle, with resale in mind. This means that over and above carrying out a mechanical inspection, service history review, and test drive, Screaners take note of minute details and cosmetic blemishes â like a scratch on the bumper or chipped paint â that could negatively impact the vehicleâs resale value.

Once the inspection is complete, youâll receive a comprehensive, highly detailed inspection report, a set of hi-res 360° walk-around images, and additional images of any cosmetic damage found during the inspection.
Screanâs Dealership Car Screan is designed to give you all the facts and details you need to go ahead and make a well-informed offer on the vehicle â without ever needing to inspect it yourself.
SCREANâS DEALERSHIP CAR INSPECTION SERVICE HELPS YOU SOURCE QUALITY VEHICLES.
By using Screanâs service to assess potential vehicles, you cut out the need for having full-time vehicle inspectors on the payroll. In addition, because Screan operates nationwide, youâre able to assess vehicles in most areas around the country â without having to travel anywhere yourself.
SCREAN OPENS UP YOUR CUSTOMER BASE, NATIONWIDE.
Just as Screan allows you to assess vehicles located around the country, Screanâs Car Screan service enables potential customers from all over the country to buy from you. Based on a layman-friendly 60-point checklist, our regular Car Screan service is designed to provide the everyday used car buyer with the information they need to decide whether to purchase a vehicle intended for their own use.
Even if youâre based in Cape Town, buyers from Joburg can use Screan to remotely assess vehicles on your lot. The bottom line? Youâre no longer restricted to the limited pool of customers based in your immediate vicinity.

In addition, should you decide to purchase a vehicle youâve had âScreanedâ, your inspection report can act as a valuable sales tool, instantly furnishing prospective buyers with a highly detailed, independent report on the vehicleâs condition.
