as exclusive provider for largest automotive lease marketplace
ALPHARETTA, Ga.--InspectMyRide.com, one of America’s largest consumer car inspection services provider, has been selected as the exclusive vehicle inspection provider for Swapalease.com, an industry pioneer and leader in lease transfers and lease assumptions.
Swapalease.com helps consumers exit their vehicle leases early by marketing their car to buyers seeking short-term leases with attractive payments and little money down. Now part of the website’s offerings, InspectMyRide’s comprehensive inspection will help consumers make more informed decisions about their next lease.
Shoppers (and swappers) have the option to order an InspectMyRide report through a link directly on the vehicle listing. Swapalease.com users will receive a 150-plus-point vehicle inspection from InspectMyRide, including a detailed report, digital photos, test drive (with current owner’s permission and weather conditions permitting) and Experian AutoCheck vehicle history summary.
“With an increasing number of consumer-to-consumer transactions taking place online every day, buyers want peace of mind that the product they are considering matches its description,” said Brent Sergot, president of InspectMyRide. “An InspectMyRide report is an affordable investment in a significant purchase. As a leader in the lease trade industry, Swapalease is a natural partner and we look forward to working with them in this capacity.”

Dave Reichle of Hamilton, Ohio, recently turned to Swapalease.com when looking for a larger vehicle. He found the one he wanted and clicked on the inspection link near the photo.
