About Us
RideCheck was founded in Chicago after witnessing how unclear, inconsistent vehicle information made buying a used car especially difficult for vulnerable immigrants, first-time buyers, and busy families. Many were relying on sellers they couldn't verify, listings with missing details, and "trust me" test drives that revealed little about the true condition of the car.
Our founders recognized a critical gap: buyers needed a trusted, independent partner capable of delivering clear, standardized, high-quality inspections—fast and without the stress of coordinating a mechanic or dealing with uncooperative sellers.
RideCheck was created to fill that need.
We combine professional inspectors, modern technology, transparent reporting, and fast turnaround times to bring accuracy, consistency, and peace of mind to every used-car decision.
Built for the Modern Used-Car Buyer
Today's buyers face new challenges: online listings with limited or misleading photos, sellers who refuse inspections or hide issues, cars located far away, a flood of scams on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp, and vehicles that look good in pictures but hide expensive problems.
RideCheck solves these problems by giving you a fast, dependable, third-party inspection—right where the vehicle sits—so you can make a confident decision without wasting time or money.
Our mission is to make used-car buying honest, transparent, and safe for everyone, regardless of background, language, or mechanical knowledge.
