Why Sharjah needs more care, not less
Prices here run below Dubai for the same car, which is why so many buyers come across the border. The saving is real. So is the reason for it.
- The emirate has a dense concentration of repair workshops, so accident-damaged cars are repaired and resold locally at speed.
- A larger share of stock has passed through several owners in a short period.
- Export and re-export cars move through here, and their history often sits in another country's records.
The Sharjah used car market
The main auto market in the Industrial Area is where most of the trade happens. It is worth going, the choice is enormous, but treat every car there as unverified until it has been checked. The cars sitting side by side on one forecourt can have completely different histories.
What we focus on here
Paint depth and structural checks carry more weight on a Sharjah inspection than anywhere else we work, simply because the repair rate is higher.
- Paint depth on every panel, compared against the factory range
- Chassis rails, inner wings and weld points
- Panel gaps measured rather than eyeballed
- Boot floor and spare wheel well, lifted and photographed
- VIN checked across the chassis plate, the Mulkiya and the engine bay
Three of our last ten Sharjah inspections found undeclared repair work. That is not a reason to avoid the emirate. It is a reason to check before you pay.

How much does a car inspection cost in Sharjah?
Our packages are AED 239 for Basic, AED 379 for Comprehensive and AED 559 for Ultimate. The price is the same across every emirate we cover, with no travel surcharge.
Do I need to bring the car to you?
No. The inspector comes to wherever the car is in Sharjah, which matters because before you buy, the car is still the seller's and asking him to drive it across town rarely ends well. The only exception is our Ultimate package, which includes a lift and needs a workshop bay.
How long does it take and when do I get the report?
The inspection itself takes between 45 minutes and two hours depending on the package. The Basic report reaches you within three hours. Comprehensive and Ultimate reports arrive the same day, with a photograph attached to every fault.
Are you connected to any dealer or garage in Sharjah?
No. We do not sell cars, we take no referral fees, and we do not own a workshop that would benefit from finding faults. You pay us, so we work for you.
