Based on recent customer reviews, Screan South Africa is valued as a trusted pre-purchase vehicle inspection partner, particularly for buyers purchasing out of province or sight unseen. Customers highlight same-day bookings, quick WhatsApp and email responses, and detailed reports with Screan 360 photographs. Named screeners including Francois, Hadley, Ramona, Jean and Brendon are praised for phoning clients to explain findings personally. A smaller group reports missed defects such as structural damage and expired tyres, and felt after-sale follow-up and accountability fell short.

We are looking at buying a second hand car and not living in the same province can make it hard
We are looking at buying a second hand car and not living in the same province can make it hard to judge the vehicle from ads and photos/reports given by sellers. Even seeing the vehicle oneself, without expert eyes, you can never be sure - Screan are those expert eyes. They pickedup mechanical issues and even some body damage issues the very reputable dealer did not see. Highly recommend them for peace of mind

Buying a car in another province and not being able to see or test drive is nerve wracking
Buying a car in another province and not being able to see or test drive is nerve wracking. Screan has taken the stress out of it. They were quick to respond and handled the booking inspection with the dealer themselves. I didn't need to do a thing. The report was thorough and detailed. Well worth the money!

Job well done
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service and a very useful vehicle screening service I recently used Screan to have a vehicle inspected before making a purchase, and I was very impressed with the service from start to finish. The process was straightforward and professional. The inspection gave me a much better understanding of the vehicle’s condition and, importantly, highlighted issues that I needed to be aware of before committing to the purchase. The report was detailed and the Screan 360 information and photographs were particularly useful. Having an independent person physically inspect the vehicle gave me considerably more confidence than simply relying on the seller’s description. Jean De Lange handled the inspection and was helpful and professional throughout. I also appreciated the fact that Screan provided a proper written report that I can keep as part of the vehicle’s history and documentation. For anyone considering buying a used vehicle — particularly an older or unusual vehicle where an inspection can be difficult to arrange — I would definitely recommend giving Screan a try. Excellent service and a very worthwhile investment before buying a vehicle.

Screan to say the least have done their job well
Screan to say the least have done their job well. From their timely responses on whatsApp and the professional manner that they handle themselves. The inpector Heronne Swanepoel also went above and beyond with the inspection and took the time to make me understand the pro’s and con’s of the vehicle i intended to purchase. It’s clear that he enjoys he’s work and that allows me to put more trust in his work. All in all i am please with the service from screen. 5 stars!
