What Checkauto does

CheckAuto is a privately-held Spanish vehicle inspection and advisory services provider operating from Murcia, Spain. Founded in 2020 and employing 1–10 people, the company delivers a transactional product portfolio aimed at individual used-car buyers seeking to prevent fraud and identify hidden defects (vicios ocultos) in second-hand vehicles. Its offerings span the full vehicle acquisition lifecycle: pre-purchase 400+ point inspections with photo and video documentation, in-person or online negotiation accompaniment, expert purchase advisory, post-purchase warranty claim support with a stated 98% success rate, 24-hour online title transfer via SMS digital signature, distance-based vehicle transport, full-service cross-border vehicle import management, a hardware/digital OBD diagnostic tool (OBD-BASIC), and a secure-payment service (NHC Pay). The technology layer is thin and human-expert-led rather than platform-led: there is no native mobile app, no APIs, no integrations, and no AI/ML capabilities.

The company monetises entirely on a one-time transactional basis per engagement, with no subscription or recurring revenue model, at price points ranging from €35.99 for the OBD-BASIC tool up to €1,500 for full import management. Most core SKUs are heavily discounted from list (€99 from €300; €500 from €1,750; €1,500 from €3,000), suggesting active price experimentation. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the company's website, WhatsApp, and email for booking, with brand awareness driven by organic social on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Payment options are bank transfer, Bizum, in-person cash, and online card (coming soon). Service delivery is hybrid: physical inspections in Murcia and surrounding areas combined with online advisory and digital paperwork workflows; no expansion plans beyond Murcia are disclosed.

CheckAuto's competitive moat is grounded almost entirely in its multidisciplinary team (electromechanical technicians, car appraisers, and lawyers operating under one brand) and a standardised inspection methodology, rather than in technology IP, scale, network effects, or regulatory exclusivity. No external funding rounds, institutional investors, mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, patents, or formal management team disclosures are present in the available data, and the company does not publicly report revenue or operating metrics. Operational signal is limited to a single named customer testimonial and an explicit regional scope of "Murcia and surroundings."

Broad incumbents

• RAC Vehicle Inspection: UK motoring organization offering vehicle inspections, breakdown services, and used car checks. Comparable as an incumbent peer in used-car inspection services, though UK-focused rather than Spanish.
• Applus+ IDIADA: Spanish-headquartered vehicle testing, inspection, and certification services provider. Directly comparable geographic peer operating in Spain with vehicle inspection capabilities, though at enterprise scale serving OEMs and regulators rather than individual consumers.
• DEKRA Automobil GmbH: Global vehicle inspection and certification company operating DEKRA Used Car Checks across Europe. Highly comparable as a broad incumbent offering pre-purchase vehicle inspections, though DEKRA operates at much larger scale and across multiple European countries.
• TÜV SÜD Auto Service GmbH: Major German-based testing and certification body offering vehicle inspections and used car assessments. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same vehicle inspection category, with significantly larger geographic and brand footprint.

Direct peers

• AutoCheck: Vehicle history reporting service for used car buyers, owned by Experian. Comparable as a direct peer in the used-car-buyer due-diligence category, primarily serving the US market but operating in the same conceptual space.
• Carfax Europe: Provides vehicle history reports and pre-purchase information for used car buyers across Europe. Comparable as a direct peer addressing the same consumer need of reducing risk on used vehicle purchases, though Carfax focuses on data reports rather than physical inspections.
• Reviso (formerly Reclamatucoche): Spanish service specializing in warranty claims and post-purchase vehicle defect recovery. Closely comparable as a direct peer addressing the same post-purchase consumer need that CheckAuto's Asesoramento Post-Compra product targets.
• Cargarantía: Spanish warranty and post-sale vehicle claim service provider. Comparable as a direct peer in the Spanish used-car consumer protection category, particularly overlapping with CheckAuto's claims and advisory offerings.
• Cocheando: Spanish used car comparison and information platform. Comparable as a direct peer targeting Spanish used-car buyers, though more oriented toward listings and information rather than physical inspections and legal support.

Emerging players

• Autofacil: Spanish automotive media and information platform covering used car buying advice. Comparable as an emerging player in Spanish used-car buyer education and content, partially overlapping with CheckAuto's content marketing strategy but not offering physical inspections.
