These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of pre-purchase vehicle inspection services provided by Automob Lanka Mechanics Private Limited (“we,” “our,” “us”). By booking our service, you (“customer,” “client”) agree to these Terms.
- Service Scope. We provide independent, professional, visual inspections of motor vehicles to assist buyers in making informed purchasing decisions. Our inspections are offered in two formats:
- Onsite Inspection (Mobile): Conducted at the vehicle’s location.
- Workshop Inspection: Conducted at our facility with full diagnostic tools.
- Nature of Inspection. All inspections are visual, non-invasive assessments. We do not dismantle, remove, or open any parts. Reports reflect the condition at the time of inspection and are not a guarantee of future performance.
- Limitations of Onsite (Mobile) Inspections. Due to limited facilities onsite, detailed undercarriage/suspension/chassis checks may not always be possible, and some advanced diagnostics are available only at our workshop. Environment (lighting, weather, surfaces) may restrict scope.
- Test Drive Policy. A test drive is conducted only if the vehicle has valid full insurance and a valid revenue licence. Vehicles with major accident/structural damage evidence will not be driven.
- Client Responsibilities. The client must obtain owner/seller permission, ensure the vehicle is present, accessible, and safe at the scheduled time. Failure to provide access or documents may result in fees (see Refund Policy).
- Exclusions & Liability. Our inspections do not cover hidden/latent defects, future failures, items requiring dismantling, market value, registration, or legal ownership. We are not liable for failures occurring after the inspection, purchase decisions, or subsequent costs (repairs/maintenance/accidents).
- Inspection Report. The report is for the client who booked the service. It is an expert opinion based on observations and must not be regarded as a warranty/guarantee/insurance.
- Payments & Refunds. All bookings must be paid in accordance with our Refund Policy. Refund eligibility is governed by the separate Refund Policy page.
- Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka. Disputes fall under the jurisdiction of Sri Lankan courts.
- Acceptance of Terms. By booking our inspection service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
