Home Vehicle quality checks

Used vehicles inspection and quality checks.

Every second hand car comes in different condition.
At Trust Company Ltd., as our name suggests, we believe it is important to let our customers know everything about our vehicles. This is why we list any relevant issue in the "Remarks section of each vehicle.

Our team of experienced inspectors certified by the Japanese government is here to conduct a thorough inspection on each vehicle. We make sure to find out any issue to provide the best quality possible, and give a new life to all our vehicles.

It is hard to describe our quality with words but we are confident that you will be convinced of the superiority of our service as soon as you will receive your vehicle.

Vehicle quality checks

ENGINE FUNCTIONS

We check each vehicle's engine and transmission to make sure everything is in working order. The engine functions and check lamps are checked with diagnostic tools. Our inspection also includes cooling system, fluid levels, belts and hoses, etc.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR

The exterior of each vehicle is checked for dents, scratches and other damages.
Damages that compromise the reliability and safety of the vehicles are fixed. We also check interior equipments and tools and verify that everything is functioning correctly.

STEERING AND BRAKING

The steering and brake systems are vital for the safety of the vehicle. This is why a thorough and detailed check is carried out and any necessary repairs are performed to provide safe and reliable driving.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

We make sure that all elements of the electrical system such as the battery, lights, wipers, switches and electrical controls are working. We recondition or substitute any element judged problematic for proper operation of the vehicle.

CHASSIS AND UNDERNEATH

All our vehicles are put up on ramps to check for rust, corrosion, torn boots and joints and any leak of water,oil, or fuel. Our ramps are equipped with lighting specially designed to avoid overlooking any problem.

CAR WASHING

All our vehicles are thoroughly washed before we inspect the exterior and chassis to make sure we do not overlook any damage or problem.

TYRE CONDITION

We measure the tyres tread depth for all tyres and replace them when judged necessary. Tyres are also checked for cracks and any damages on the sidewall, wheel , wheel nuts and bolts.

SEAT CLEANING

We do our best to make the interior of each vehicle as clean as possible.
We also clean seats with professional equipment whenever we notice any stain or smell that stands out.

Team of experienced mechanics certified by the Japanese government

All our inspection team members own an official license emitted by the Japanese Government.

This official license requires several examinations to be passed as well as a solid experience as a mechanic, making sure our team has all the skills and experience needed to perform proper inspections.

Having a team of certified mechanics is really important for us to ensure the quality and reliability of the used vehicles we provide.
