SafeBuy

As a local auto dealer, I can’t recommend SafeBuy enough. We’ve had Eran conduct inspections at our dealership over 15 times for mutual customers, and whenever he’s identified an issue, it was 100% valid. He pays incredible attention to detail without making baseless assumptions—never once have we sent a vehicle to our mechanic only to find out an issue was non-existent. He’s refreshingly honest, presents the facts as they are, and never exaggerates. If you need a thorough, fair, and trustworthy mobile inspection service in the Bay Area, SafeBuy is as good as it gets.

Great guy who is communicative and flexible. Was about to buy a 2018 Kia Niro that looked perfect and he found issues with the transmission and HVAC system, saved me from a bad purchase.

I am so glad I had Eran with me when I checked out a used car at the dealer. He did a thorough inspection and took the time to explain all the car's issues to me. He even shared potential ways I could address those issues with the dealer. As a young woman, I knew I'd be considered an easy target for a bad deal, but I felt empowered after working with Eran. He even offered to provide consultation again if my negotiations with the seller didn't go well. I didn't end up buying the car we checked out due to red flags he pointed out (the dealer wiped the codes!). I will definitely be bringing him with me to the next car I check out.

Eran is the best! If you're not car leaning or knowledgeable, and/or you're hesitant and doubtful about moving forward on any used car, you don't have to worry about it and can completely trust SafeBuy and Eran! He's the consummate professional, excellent work ethic, and absolutely knowledgeable and competent. Eran is so awesome and accommodating. He seems ready and eager to work for & with you, and he made himself available as best he could with me. Even though it's clear from his website the area range he covers, and that he's open to go even further (for, in my opinion a small additional charge), he went extra far for me; and furthermore he's always ready seemingly at a moments notice (which won't always be the case, of course, but shows that as long as he's available, he'll jump to work with you! The extra he was wonderful in considering for me was even as far as a used car dealership in Roseville! Just FYI, for him Gilroy is too far (haha, had to try). And he works hard to make it that his customers don't have to do anything additional, and that he'll take care of it all -- he doesn't expect you to meet him there (although you have the option; he offered/was-open for me to be there to do it with him, but I opted not to), or to meet with him beforehand, or even afterward; you can correspond and coordinate just text and/or phone. If anything, you just might have to call the dealership and give them a heads up (telling them the time and Eran's name & business). He goes out, takes the car for about an hour, and checks everything. But beyond that (and what I mean about excellent work ethic and consummate professional) is that he documents it all (photos on top of his notes), and he goes in, around, and even under the car and looks at all the nook and cranny of all the car parts & aspects. He took plenty of photos of anything remarkable of the car (dents, paint deterioration, oil/grease stains [underhood of the car], interior issues, etc.). He has a whole form with a checklist that checks ranging from fluids to condition of belts to lights working to hoses to condition of the tires & brakes and the rest. Of course he hooks up his OBD tool to check for any codes. Then he sends you the report with all of his findings, gives you a call to talk it all over and he gives his impression, then you send payment -- he's really cool about payment and states "however you want to pay"; Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, Cash, Check, whatever. He gave me the impression that I wanted him to be my own mechanic. He is on the high end of what you might estimate ($180; more if you send him outside his normal area/range [I don't believe more than $200]), but I was happy to spend that on him. In the end, the used car I got has worked great for the last 6 months. And he saved me from buying an amazing car (high end Hyundai; $3k) but in such under-the-hood horrible shape that it would've been 3x the cost of the price just to repair everything -- which proved later! After it all, I brought my used car to 2 mechanics after him, and they confirmed 4 out of the 6 concerns he had -- which, granted, it's not like Eran has a car lift and a whole lot of time to thoroughly check as much as a mechanic with a garage would. He mistook cosmetic blemishes on the serpentine belt and the brakes as old age and maybe needing to be replaced -- which didn't end up being the case. But he did get the transmission deficiencies, signs on a certain valve gasket, parking brake, and other aspects right on the mark. I can't say good enough things about him! I was only able to feel confident enough to buy the really old used car that was in my budget because of him. And it's been nothing but a success! 6 months later, after taking care of the issues and potential concerns Eran noted, the car has not given any problems -- proving how much Eran and SafeBuy is really stellar and impeccable! If you're not the best with cars, you can absolutely trust Eran and SafeBuy; as much as you can trust his willingness, commitment, integrity, experience.

Couldn’t recommend more. Professional, thorough, knowledgeable.

Best customer service e he came on time and brought snack

Why Safebuy is Essential for Out-of-State Purchases When acquiring a high-performance vehicle like a 2021 Porsche Panamera, "good enough" isn't an option. Operating from Palm Beach, Florida, I relied on Eran from Safebuy to be my eyes and ears at a dealership in California. The level of precision and dedication he has shown throughout this transaction is unparalleled. Beyond a Standard Inspection Eran did more than just provide a fast, effective, and efficient report within hours. He identified specific, minor issues that could have easily been overlooked. Most importantly, he didn't just walk away once the report was filed. The Value of the Follow Up We have held off on the final signing until the dealership addresses every item Eran pinpointed. Eran is returning to the site for a final verification to ensure all commitments have been met to the highest standard. This level of accountability ensures the car will arrive in near-perfect condition, providing total peace of mind for a long-distance purchase. Reliability in a High-Stakes Market Finding a professional who is as dependable, serious, and direct as Eran is rare. His recommendations turned a potentially stressful online purchase into a calculated, secure investment. Recommendation: For anyone purchasing a luxury or exotic vehicle sight-unseen, Safebuy is the gold standard for automotive protection and professional integrity.

Eran really helped me out while in the process of deciding to purchase a vehicle. He was punctual, professional, ran through his evaluation point by point, and explained what needed to be done before purchase. He works all over the Bay Area and provides a valuable, convenient, and affordable service for anyone interested in getting a professional opinion before buying a car. I highly recommend.

I recently used SafeBuy for a PPI, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The inspector (Eran) was incredibly responsive throughout the process - answering calls and texts promptly and was genuinely pleasant to work with. The inspection itself was thorough and professional. He arrived on time and completed a comprehensive evaluation that gave me complete confidence in my purchase decision. The level of detail, expertise, and prompt followup was exactly what I needed. This was a 10/10 experience. It's rare to work with someone this professional and competent - it actually makes me wish I was buying more cars just so I could continue giving him business! If you need a PPI in the Bay Area, SafeBuy should be your first call.

Thank you for the professionalism and knowledge of bmws. Thank you for the third party opinion. The m240i runs great so far. I would recommend him to check out the car before you purchase it.
