Old societies, shared parking
Many buildings here are decades old with narrow gates and shared basement parking. Expect the inspection to happen on the road outside the gate if the car cannot be moved.
Grant Road sits between Charni Road and Mumbai Central and has a mix of old mid-rise societies, offices and a large number of used-car purchases from nearby dealers. Accessibility is the practical constraint, not availability.
Every Grant Road inspection runs the same 80+ point checklist across 11 sections, with photo evidence for every finding and a report on WhatsApp and email within 15 minutes. Inspection starts at ₹999, with no travel charge.
We travel to the vehicle, wherever it is in Grant Road. Common inspection points include dealer yards, society parking, private homes and stockyards.
South Mumbai: Churchgate to Mahim on the western line, plus Mahalaxmi and Lower Parel. Deliveries usually happen in basement society parking or at a dealership on Pali Hill, so the car is inspected in the same cramped conditions you will sign the papers in.

A large share of the used cars inspected here come through local brokers. Our report is deliberately neutral in tone, which makes it useful evidence when you push back on a claimed defect or a hidden one.
Hatchbacks and mid-size sedans dominate this belt. We pay extra attention to kerb-side delivery damage, which is common when a car is brought out and parked in a narrow lane.
