Car Inspection Cost in Telangana & Andhra Pradesh (2026)

The most common question we get on WhatsApp is simple: how much does it cost to inspect a car? It is a fair question, and the honest answer is that it depends on two things, the type of vehicle and the type of inspection. This guide explains how pricing works across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in 2026, what is actually included, and why the fee is small compared with what a missed fault can cost you.

What drives the price

A car inspection is not one flat product. The time and expertise needed scale with the vehicle and the depth of the check.

Vehicle type

• Hatchbacks are the quickest to inspect: simpler systems, fewer electronics, less surface area.
• Sedans and SUVs take longer with more panels, more suspension components, and usually more electronic features.
• Premium and luxury cars carry complex electronics, adaptive suspension, advanced driver-assist systems and expensive parts, so they need more time and specialised scanning.

Inspection type

• A New PDI is a pre-delivery check of a brand-new car: verifying the variant, transit condition, manufacturing date and a clean electronics scan.
• A Pre-Owned inspection is far more forensic because a used car has a history to uncover: accident repairs, odometer tampering, wear, leaks and hidden faults.

Typical pricing tiers for 2026

As a general guide, professional inspections in our region typically fall in the range of about ₹1,299 to ₹1,899 depending on the vehicle type and the inspection type, with premium and luxury vehicles sitting at the higher end. Think of the tiers like this:

• Hatchback: the entry tier, at the lower end of the range.
• Sedan and SUV: the mid tier, reflecting the extra time and components.
• Premium and luxury: the top tier, for complex electronics and high-value parts.

Because prices are periodically updated and can differ slightly between New PDI and Pre-Owned checks, we keep the exact, current figures on our pricing page rather than quoting fixed numbers that go stale. Please check the pricing page for the precise fee for your car, or simply message us with the make, model and inspection type and we will confirm.

What is included

Whichever tier you fall into, an inspection with us is a complete service, not just a glance around the car.

• On-site inspection: our engineer comes to wherever the car is, at the seller’s home, a dealership or a used-car lot, so you do not have to move the vehicle.
• A multi-point mechanical and electrical check covering engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tyres and electricals.
• OBD2 diagnostic scanning to read stored fault codes from the car’s control modules.
• Body, paint and accident-history assessment, including checks for repainted panels and structural repair.
• Document verification so the RC, chassis and engine numbers, and hypothecation status all line up.
• A digital health report delivered within about 45 minutes, with findings and photos you can act on immediately.

Why it is worth it

The fee only looks meaningful until you compare it with the cost of the faults an inspection catches. A few real examples of what a missed problem costs to put right:

• A worn clutch on a manual: a repair that runs into tens of thousands of rupees once labour is added.
• A slipping automatic gearbox: often one of the single most expensive repairs on any car.
• A repaired accident chassis: it lowers resale value by far more than the inspection fee and can compromise safety.
• A rolled-back odometer: you overpay for the car itself and inherit worn parts due for replacement sooner than you think.
• A weak battery or tyres aged in a yard on a new car: small individually, but avoidable if flagged at PDI.

An inspection is not an expense. It is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy against the wrong car.

Does location change the price?

The inspection fee itself is based on the vehicle and inspection type, not the city. We serve buyers on-site across Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Warangal, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry, Guntur and Tirupati. For locations well outside our regular service zones, a small travel arrangement may apply, and we will always tell you clearly before you book, with no surprises.
