Buying a used car in Spain can be risky
Problem
Hidden accident damage, mechanical faults, clocked mileage, or outstanding finance can turn what looks like a good deal into a very expensive mistake. Many buyers only discover problems after they’ve paid — when it’s too late
AutoGuard Spain protects you before you buy.
We provide independent, on-site vehicle inspections to help you understand the true condition of the vehicle before you commit to buying it.
Upgrade to our €199 inspection package with the:
Diagnostic Plug-In Health Scan – checks for hidden faults you can’t see.
For additional protection, customers can add our €69 Comprehensive Vehicle History Check for important recorded information about the vehicle’s history.
