Your dealer hopes you never see this PDI Tool
Pick your brand, open the tool on your phone, and walk around the car. In about an hour you'll know it better than the person delivering it.
Most cars don't come out clean.
Your car passes through a lot of hands before it reaches yours.
Pick your brand.
The tool lands in your inbox within a minute of paying. Nothing to install, no appointment to book.
Want to see how it works first? ↓
An inspector's notebook, on your phone.
Three screens you'll use at the dealership. No app to install, and no mechanic needed.
It knows your exact car.
A Mahindra XUV 7XO loads 93 checks. A Honda Elevate loads a different set. For most brands, the VIN decoder shows the manufacturing date your dealer won't volunteer.
Every check tells you what to look for.
Many checks carry reference photos from real dealership inspections, and the tool flags known issues for your model. Spot something wrong, photograph it. It goes into your report as evidence.
Pass. Fail. Skip.
Three buttons, no jargon. At the end the tool builds your report with your photos and a verdict: accept, hold or reject. That report is what you hand the dealer.
Watch me PDI my own Jimny with the tool.
No staging, no edits to hide the boring parts. This is the tool doing exactly what it does when you take it to the dealership.
Why you should do it yourself.
I've got nothing against PDI inspectors. The maths of their day just works against you.
A good inspector is doing several cars that day, against a clock. You're doing one car, and it's yours. Nobody is going to look harder at it than you will.
A fault you find standing next to the car becomes a discount, a replaced part or a different unit. The same fault found three days later is your problem. If someone else does the inspection and sends you a report on WhatsApp, you missed the one moment that mattered.
Don't wait for delivery day either. The tool is yours the moment you pay, so ask to see the car at the stockyard as soon as it's allotted. Every day it sits there is another chance for a scratch or a dent. You get three sessions: one at the stockyard, one on delivery day, and one spare if something has to go back.
1 hour of your time. A car you'll drive for years.
From ₹1,499, once.
Real buyers, real cars.
Uploaded to the TNT Garage by the people who own them. Here's what a few of them told me.
"A very useful tool to do the PDI on your own."
"I went to the showroom alone. No mechanic, no relative needed. The most helpful thing: your checklist tells you that you can accept a vehicle 6 months old from manufacturing date. My Taigun was 5 months old. I accepted it and got a good discount."
"Extremely well researched. As a car buyer, doing a PDI yourself gives satisfaction. Delegation of PDI should be the last resort, not the first."
"I felt confident after reading your PDI checklist. I did the PDI by myself instead of hiring a third party. Thank you so much."
"You will learn a lot about your car. Consider it."
"Simple. Affordable. Easy to comprehend."
Nobody here was paid or given the tool free.
