Why You Should Never Skip a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) Before Buying a New Car
Buying a new car is an exciting milestone, but even brand-new vehicles can have hidden issues from transport or storage. That’s why a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is essential before you take the keys. A PDI ensures that every feature of your car — from engine to electronics — works perfectly before delivery. Here’s why skipping this step could cost you later.
Why a PDI Matters Before Car Delivery
A Pre-Delivery Inspection verifies that your new car meets safety and quality standards before it leaves the dealership. During PDI, technicians inspect vital components like brakes, tyres, engine fluids, sensors, and electrical systems to confirm everything functions as intended. Detecting issues early helps you request fixes under warranty — saving time, money, and stress.
Ideal Time to Get Your PDI Done
The best time for a PDI is before signing the delivery papers. Ideally, schedule it as soon as the car reaches the dealership but before registration or accessories installation. This allows PehliCar’s expert inspectors to identify paint defects, alignment errors, missing tools, or shipping damages — all before ownership transfer.
