Causeway traffic and access
The Mahim Causeway narrows and slows at peak hours. We agree the inspection point and the timing window with you rather than sending an inspector into a jam.

Car PDI and Pre-Purchase Inspection in Mahim.
Mahim sits on the causeway, so access and traffic are the practical constraints. Inspections here are often at society premises or at the roadside, and the vehicle mix is a mix of city showrooms and local dealers.
Every Mahim 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.

MahimMahim WestMahim CausewaySwayamwar ParkKherwadi RoadMahim Junction
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.
Why buyers in Mahim inspect before paying
Local reasons a PDI matters in Mahim.
Water exposure on low ground
Parts of the Kherwadi and low-lying pockets near the causeway collect water in heavy monsoon. We check underbody metal, boot floor and seat bases for any signs of past water entry.
Society handover timing
Many Mahim deliveries happen in the evening when the family is home. We run late slots and send the report immediately so the decision can be made the same night.

Car PDI in Mahim — questions
Car PDI and pre-purchase inspection in Mahim: questions
What buyers in Mahim ask before booking, answered with our actual process and pricing.
What areas of the car do you photograph?
Every finding is supported by a photo: exterior panels, glass, tyres, interior, engine bay, odometer and VIN plate. That is what makes the report usable in a negotiation.
Do you inspect in the rain?
Yes, but underbody and water-ingress checks are more meaningful after rain, not in the middle of it. If conditions are unsafe we will tell you and reschedule within the same day where possible.
Is the price fixed before the visit?
Yes. The package and price are confirmed when the slot is booked. Nothing extra is added on the day for the standard service areas.
How do I confirm a booking at short notice?
WhatsApp is fastest. Send the car make, model, variant, location and your preferred time, and we will confirm an inspector and slot.
