Observater Certified Inspections. Buying a used car? Don’t rely on a “Jua Kali” mechanic. Our team of Degreed Mechanical Engineers performs forensic-level audits using advanced diagnostic tech. Available in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, and every town in between.
Most inspection services send a basic mechanic who kicks the tires. Observater sends a University-Trained Mechanical Engineer. We understand thermodynamics, material science, and structural integrity. We don’t guess; we diagnose.
A mechanic fixes symptoms; an engineer finds the root cause. We analyze live data streams from the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to detect hidden issues like timing chain stretch, fuel trim anomalies, and transmission slippage that won’t show a “Check Engine” light.
We identify “Cut-and-Shut” vehicles where two wrecks have been welded together. Our engineers inspect chassis rails for stress fractures, non-factory welds, and realignment marks that indicate a major previous accident.
We have no affiliation with car yards or dealers. Our report is a legally defensible engineering document. We provide a projected “Repair Cost Estimate” so you know exactly how much you’ll spend after purchase.
In Kenya’s used car market, appearances are deceiving. A shiny paint job often hides catastrophic history. Without our engineer, you are blindly trusting a seller whose only goal is to get your money.
The car looks shiny on Ngong Road, but what’s under the hood? Kenya’s used car market is flooded with accident repairs, flooded vehicles from Japan, and rolled-back odometers.
Don’t guess. Get it Observater Certified.
Pending Inspection… Click points on car.
An inspection isn’t an expense; it’s a Negotiation Weapon. Our clients save an average of KES 50,000 on the purchase price by using our report to point out defects.
Spend 3.5k to save 35k in immediate repairs you would have inherited.
Walk away from a bad deal with zero regret, or buy a good car with total confidence.
Don’t lose the deal. We inspect and report same-day so you can close fast.
Are you ready to negotiate like a pro?
We don’t just use our eyes. We use calibrated industrial instruments to reveal what the seller is hiding.
Measures paint thickness in microns. Detects body filler (putty) and resprayed panels indicating accident repair.
Professional OBDII tool to read engine fault codes, transmission status, and verify true mileage from the ECU.
Pressurizing the cooling system to detect blown head gaskets, radiator leaks, or internal engine cracks.
Digital load testing to ensure the charging system and battery health are optimal for start-stop traffic.
