What Buyers Say

Trusted Across 30+ Countries

Real feedback from real buyers who used our inspection service before wiring money to China.

★★★★★

"The inspector caught a repainted side panel the seller never disclosed. We renegotiated the price down by $4,200 — basically paid for the next ten inspections. Best $399 I've ever spent."

"I run a small fleet and used to fly to China twice a year. Now I use TrueGround for every machine — same confidence, zero travel cost. The video walkaround is more thorough than what I'd do myself."

★★★★★

"Their inspector flagged hydraulic contamination that the seller's video conveniently skipped. We walked away from that deal and bought a different machine the same week — clean report this time. Saved my company a six-figure mistake."

★★★★★

"We bundled five machines at one yard and got a comparative report. Made it dead simple to pick the two best units. Communication in English was flawless — felt like dealing with a Western firm, not navigating a translation nightmare."

★★★★★

"Booked on a Monday, inspector was on-site Wednesday, full PDF report with 70 photos and a 12-minute video on Friday. That kind of turnaround makes it possible to actually compete with local dealers back home."

★★★★★

"The fluid analysis report is what sold me. No other Chinese inspection service does lab sampling. That single page told me more about the machine's real life than any seller pitch ever could."
