B2B used-car inspection pricing: volume terms · framework agreement

For commercial clients, the same price level applies as a starting point as in our private-customer business: Standard check from €289, Premium check from €339, each incl. VAT and travel within Germany. From a defined minimum frequency — measured in orders per month or quarter — we move to individual terms that take volume, region and service level into account. At higher order volumes, framework agreements are concluded that can include fixed prices, priority slots and a personal point of contact. We quote concrete figures in the proposal after a short initial consultation — there is deliberately no general price list with percentage volume discounts, because volume, location structure and the additional services required differ too much from one client to the next.

Many commercial providers publish a tiered table with percentage discounts above a certain unit count. That sounds transparent, but it doesn't solve a practical problem: two clients with ten orders per month have completely different requirements — one buys mid-priced cars in a single region, the other needs Premium checks for imported vehicles at three different locations with a written weekly report. A blanket tier table would either go too far or fall short in both cases. That's why at checkdenwagen terms are always worked out on the basis of a short needs assessment. It takes no longer than necessary — and the result is a quote that genuinely fits the client's business model.

Framework agreements with checkdenwagen are offered from a higher monthly order volume and set out the key parameters in writing: fixed prices per check type, priority in scheduling, report delivery format (standard PDF or structured file export), report language (German or English) and point-of-contact rules. Clients with a framework agreement receive a personal account manager who serves as the central point of contact for order coordination, queries about findings and follow-up clarifications. Service-level agreements (SLAs) — for example on report delivery time or response time for queries — are likewise anchored in the framework agreement and are geared to the client's operations. All framework-agreement negotiations start with a structured initial consultation in which volume, locations and requirements are clarified.

From a defined order frequency, we assign every commercial client a personal account manager. They handle not only the operational coordination of appointments but are also the point of contact for strategic questions: which depth of check makes sense for which vehicle type? Which patterns of findings emerge over time? How can reports be integrated into your internal reporting format? For clients with lower volume, the regular service team is available — reachable at 030 301 32 327 and info@checkdenwagen.de.

Under the single-booking model, travel within Germany is included in the fixed price. Under a framework agreement, travel arrangements can be negotiated separately — for example as a flat-rate factor for defined catchment areas or as a flat rate for clients who hand over vehicles at known locations. Which model makes sense is usually clarified in the first conversation.

By default, the inspection report is delivered by email within 24 hours of the completed on-site check. For framework-agreement clients, additional SLAs can be agreed — for example on maximum waiting times for scheduling or on response times for queries about the findings report. What we don't promise across the board: guaranteed availability windows for postcode areas outside the regions we already cover, and no SLAs that are incompatible with the physical, on-site nature of the check. Being open on this point is intentional — we'd rather give a realistic quote than a commitment that doesn't hold up in practice.
