Bengaluru (field-based, some office days)

· Full time

· First member of our inspection team

Make sure every car we source is one our learners can trust.

Our car buyers are our own learners, who already trusted us to teach them to drive. The quality of every car we source decides whether we keep that trust. You’ll be the first member of our inspection team, and every car passes your eyes first. Your report tells us what a car is really worth, so a missed defect costs real money.

About Lane

Lane is rebuilding how India learns to drive, and now helps our learners find the right first car. We’ve raised 8.5 Cr in pre-seed funding led by Kae Capital, with DeVC, Antler India, Panthera Peak and prominent angels, and we have taught 50,000+ hours of driving so far.

What you’ll do

- Inspect every car end to end: visit seller locations daily and check engine, transmission and clutch, suspension, steering, brakes, electricals, AC, tyres, interior and body, with a test drive
- Catch what sellers won’t tell us: accident repair, repainting, flood damage, rust and odometer tampering, using an OBD scanner and paint thickness gauge
- Verify documents: RC, insurance, PUC, service history, hypothecation and pending challans
- Report clearly: rate each component and upload photos and findings to our inspection tool, the same day




- Help us price right: flag major issues and estimated repair costs so the supply team can negotiate with sellers
- Shape how we inspect: as the first in the team, your feedback sets our checklist and tool

How we measure: inspections per day, report accuracy, same-day submission, photo and documentation quality, on-time arrival.

Who we’re looking for

- ITI (Motor Mechanic Vehicle), or Diploma/B.Tech in Automobile or Mechanical Engineering
- 1–3 years as a car inspection engineer, or as a mechanic or service advisor at a car workshop or authorised service centre
- Can spot major mechanical, electrical and body defects in a used car
- Own two-wheeler for travel, and comfortable with a smartphone app for reports and photos
- A plus: used-car platform (Cars24, Spinny, CarDekho, OLX Autos, Droom) or insurance survey experience; OBD scanner and paint gauge skills; knowledge of repair costs

What you get

- A seat as the first member of Lane’s inspection team, with real ownership of how we inspect
- Work that matters: every car you approve is one a learner may take home
- Direct impact: your report decides which cars we put in front of customers, and at what price
- Room to grow as the inspection team grows
