Mobile pre-purchase car inspection in São João da Madeira
We inspect the car where it stands — in São João da Madeira or nearby, about 37 km from central Porto. Our base is in Alcabideche (Cascais): for this region we agree the date in advance and quote the travel as one fixed figure before you confirm.
The smallest municipality in the country, but with strong industry and company cars entering the used market every year.
Price: €150 per inspection + travel at €0.50/km from Alcabideche, quoted as a fixed figure before booking — no surprises on the day. Seeing more than one car in the same region? The €450 package (up to 3 inspections in one trip) nearly always wins. Lift/workshop inspection: +€100. Negotiation: 20% of the discount we achieve.

The inspection is €150 plus travel (€0.50/km from Alcabideche, Cascais). We send the exact total before you book — no surprises. For two or three cars in the same area, the €450 package with up to 3 inspections is nearly always cheaper.
How fast can you be in São João da Madeira?
This region is outside our daily zone, so we schedule a few days ahead and, whenever possible, bundle several inspections into the same trip. Send us the plate or the listing link and we come back with a date and a closed price.
Can I buy remotely without attending the inspection in São João da Madeira?
Yes. You join the inspection live by video call, ask questions as we go, and receive the trilingual PDF report the moment we finish — many expat clients buy remotely on the strength of the report.
