About Inspection

Each vehicle is inspected by our team!

In fact, all vehicles for sale on timabid.com are pre-inspected. From front to back, we check every vehicle on 48 points. This means that every vehicle that you see online matches the way it is advertised. What you see is really what you get. In this article we explain what the inspection by Tima Auction entails.

An honest picture

We prefer to really show the condition of a vehicle. We fully check all vehicles and supplement the specification lists where necessary. We shoot HD photos and videos of the vehicle, so that you can see all the details with your own eyes online. You can assume that a vehicle advertisement on timabid.com also fully compares to how you will receive the purchased vehicle.

A clear inspection process

The same steps are followed for every vehicle for sale on timabid.com . Whether it is offered by Tima Auction itself or one of our Tima Auction partners (external sellers)

Check-in vehicles

The vehicle is checked from top to bottom by our vehicle inspector. The inspector fills in the specification list and notes all details. For example, if there is a second-hand vehicle with damage, this will be clearly stated in the description. This way you really know what you are buying.

Taking photos and videos

When all points and specifications have been noted and checked the vehicle is ready to be portrayed. HD photos are taken of all relevant parts and important specifications. We also shoot an HD video of the entire vehicle.

Ready for sale

After we set the selling price, the vehicle is ready for sale.  This means that the sales advertisement is posted online in our website, timabid.com

We record every detail, from the navigation system to the profile of the tyres. This means that we are 100% sure about the condition of a vehicle. And we also clearly show that in the advertisements. The process has therefore become essential for buyers.
