What We Do
Through the use of hands-on examination practices and cutting-edge technical equipment, we can provide a vehicle examination service that brings results, identifying the provenance of the vehicle in question with the ability to investigate the vehicle's history and current usage pre or post-accident that will support or negate driver assertions.
We can examine, and electronically read supported vehicle keys to validate their authenticity and confirm they originate from the source vehicle that they were supplied. Where applicable our reports provide secure results from dedicated OEM-supplied Key to VIN databases.
​
We can recover forensically erased numbers from vehicle body shells and engines to identify the vehicles they came from.
Through our skills, knowledge and experience and our association with vehicle manufacturers, we can also examine and identify individual component parts, and where suitable trace them back to their originating vehicle.
With Qualified Stolen Vehicle Examiner (QSVE) status, and members of the National Association of Stolen Vehicle Examiners (www.NASVE.org) we can examine and report on any vehicle and provide evidential reports for use in civil litigation or criminal court purposes and provide a service UK-wide.
As qualified trainers and vehicle identification specialists, our services also include the creation and delivery of bespoke Auto Crime / Vehicle Examination and identification training packages. These can be tailored to suit all needs. Being suitably qualified and experienced in our field, the delivered training brings real-world examples and knowledge to the classroom.​
