Tres bonne experience - L'entreprise s'est montree flexible et reactive. L'employe se deplace lui-meme en concession et nous partage un rapport detaille post-inspection, photos a l'appui. Je recommande vivement pour vos inspections de vehicule pre-achat.

Service très rapide et communication claire. Nous referons certainement appel à Méca Home Concept pour une prochaine inspection de véhicule. C'est si pratique et simple !

Le service a été extrêmement prompt. Nous avons fait affaire avec Meca Home concept pour inspecter une voiture que nous souhaitions acheter dans une autre ville. L'inspection a eu lieu le lendemain de ma prise de contact avec Meca Home. Ils se sont chargé de toute la logistique avec le concessionnaire pour l'inspection, puis m'ont fourni un rapport clair et détaillé. On m'a aussi appelé pour m'expliquer le rapport et répondre à mes questions. -- Florian

Super service! Ils sont rapide et efficace. Très poli d’ailleurs l’inspecteur, ils nous a expliqué tous les bon et mauvais points de l’auto. Honnêtement je recommande fortement!

Excellent experience. The inspector took the time to check the vehicle in detail. The report was comprehensive, easy to understand, and helped me make an informed decision. Fast, professional, and reliable service. Thank you!

Richard Poirier

Fast and courteous service, very good judgment from the mechanic (Rolando). I bought the vehicle and everything was confirmed by the trusted garage where I usually go. It's not expensive and it's worth knowing what you're buying and being aware of any repairs you'll need to do.

Oualid Ait Ouakli

Excellent service, the inspector was punctual and very professional. I received a very detailed report on the vehicle, along with valuable advice to help me with my purchase decision. I highly recommend.

Nadia Dutertre

Impeccable service. It's truly reassuring to be able to get such a thorough inspection before buying a used vehicle, especially from a private seller. This allowed us to proceed with the transaction with peace of mind.
The inspection took place directly at the seller's place the day after my reservation, and by that same evening, I already had the detailed report with photos! Incredible!
A big thank you to Cyril, who remains available to answer questions even after the inspection has taken place. Thanks a thousand times for the quality of your service. I highly recommend! :)

Fruttero Candice

I am satisfied because, thanks to this inspection, I learned that the vehicle I wanted to buy was at risk and required a lot of work. The internal inspection did not report these problems at all, and even either downplayed them or hid them. I feel lucky to have had the idea to get an inspection and to have gone through them.

I recently used Méca Home Concept for a pre-purchase inspection and I have to say, I was impressed! After contacting them, the inspection was scheduled less than 48 hours later. They came out and inspected the vehicle directly at the dealership without me needing to be there. Once the inspection was complete, I received a brief phone summary and my detailed report via email about an hour later. I found them to be very professional, reliable, and affordable. My inspection report was detailed and reassuring. I am very satisfied with their service and would recommend them without hesitation!

Laura Bergamo

Super service! Very responsive and fast. An inspector came to see the car I wanted to buy in less than 12 hours, and I had a detailed report with repair cost estimates just a few hours later. Thanks to them, I had a detailed explanation and understanding of the vehicle's condition, which guided my purchase and negotiation. Thanks again!

The service was good overall and the report was quite complete, but I am a little disappointed because I took the trouble to specify to the technician that the most important point was to ensure that the vehicle had no major rust, and unfortunately he did not notice that the floor was completely rusted through... Which would have allowed me to save a significant amount on the purchase price of the vehicle.

I recommend them. They saved me from buying a lemon. Thanks to the team for saving me from buying a car that wasn't worth it. Very fast service too.

PASCAL DUQUETTE

I highly recommend this vehicle inspection company. Professional, thorough, and very transparent service. They take the time to explain every detail and answer all questions. You can feel their experience and commitment to a job well done. If you're looking for a reliable and honest inspection before a purchase, this is the right place. Thank you for the excellent service!

They called me less than 24 hours after the order and less than 48 hours after the vehicle inspection was done. I spoke with Cyril on the phone, and he explained everything to me in person before I received the detailed report by email a few minutes later. This saved me a lot of trouble when buying a vehicle. They also offered me a discount on the inspection of a second vehicle, which was carried out with the same thoroughness. Don't hesitate to contact them.

Steven Yannick Paul Nguessan

Fast and efficient service! In less than 24 hours I received the analysis of the car I wanted to buy. The customer service is also very responsive and respectful!

Very satisfied with my experience with Meca Home for my vehicle inspection. Thanks to them, I received a diagnosis of 2 major problems that required quick repair at a garage, as well as good advice because I was hesitant about keeping my vehicle or selling it to buy a newer one.

Excellent service and a very detailed report.
I highly recommend it. Plus, when you announce an inspection to an unreliable seller, they refuse it, so you save time!
