Pre-purchase
inspections

A pre-purchase inspection is a really good idea if you’re buying a second hand car. It offers you better peace of mind and can prevent you from buying something that may cost you more and more money in the long run. A pre-purchase inspection can cost somewhere between $150 to $300.

A pre-purchase inspection is where a mechanic inspects a second hand car before you purchase it. This way, you can buy the car with the knowledge that there are no major issues with the engine or the chassis.

Pre-purchase inspections are a good idea for buying second hand cars so you don’t buy a car that’s dodgy, has had poorly-carried-out repairs, or has been neglected. You should always get a pre-purchase inspection and ensure the owner can provide a servicing logbook before purchasing a second hand car. This way you know it’s been cared for properly and serviced on time and regularly.

Our mechanics will thoroughly check over the interior, exterior, and engine of the vehicle and then take it for a test-drive to see if any issues come up. As experienced mechanics, we know what and where to check for covered up damage or engine issues — we identify these if they’re present. We’ll also check the wheels, tyres, brakes, and suspension.

If any issues do arise, we’ll provide you with a detailed report on the condition of the car.
