About SKM

About SKM Car Inspection

SKM is an independent mobile car inspection service based in Dubai. We inspect used cars at the seller’s location and give the buyer a clear, evidence-backed report before any money changes hands.

What we do

An Independent Second Opinion, Before You Buy

Buying a used car in the UAE usually means trusting a stranger’s description of it. A seller has every reason to present the car well, and a short test drive rarely reveals what sits underneath the paint or inside the control modules.

SKM exists to close that gap. We carry out a structured inspection on the car you are considering, document what we find with readings and photographs, and explain it in language you can act on. We are not connected to the seller, the dealership or any garage, so the report says what the car is actually like.

How we work

Four Principles We Don't Bend On

We work for the buyer

Our findings go to you, not to the person selling the car. Nobody pays us to reach a particular conclusion.

Findings are evidenced

Where something matters, it is photographed or measured. You see what the technician saw.

Plain English, not jargon

A report is only useful if you can understand it. We explain what a finding means and how urgent it is.

The same checklist every time

Every car goes through the same structured sequence, so nothing important depends on the technician’s memory.

Our method

How an SKM Inspection Runs

No workshop booking, no moving the car, no waiting around.

1

You tell us about the car

Make, model, year, where it’s parked, and the seller’s contact if you’d like us to arrange access.

2

We agree a time

We confirm the slot with you and coordinate directly with the seller. You’re welcome to attend, but you don’t have to.

3

The inspection happens on site

Our technician works through the checklist at the car, taking readings and photographs as they go.

4

You get the report

A digital report with findings, photos and repair priorities. We’ll talk you through anything that isn’t clear.

Being straight with you

What an Inspection Can and Cannot Tell You

We would rather set expectations honestly than oversell what a single visit can achieve.

What it does

What it does not

Anything we could not check, and why, is stated plainly in your report rather than left out.

Where we work

Dubai First, and the Wider UAE

Most of our work is in Dubai, at private homes, dealerships, showrooms and office car parks. We also travel to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman and the northern emirates. Tell us where the car is and we’ll confirm the earliest slot we can reach it.
