Pre-Purchase Inspections
Know exactly what you're buying before you hand over the money.
A used car is a big spend on an unknown. Book it in at our Clyde North workshop before you commit and we'll go over it properly, then give you a straight report on what it needs now, what's coming up, and what that should mean for the price.

Common questions
Why get a pre-purchase inspection?
Because the seller knows the car and you don't. An independent inspection puts a qualified set of eyes over the mechanicals, the electronics and the body before you commit, so you either buy with confidence, negotiate with evidence, or walk away from a problem you couldn't see.
What do I get at the end of the inspection?
A plain-English condition report: what needs attention now, what's coming up, and anything that looks like hidden damage or poor repair work. It's the same honest read we'd give family, and it's yours to take into the price negotiation.
How do I book a pre-purchase inspection?
Book online like any other service, pick a day and time, and arrange with the seller to have the car at our Clyde North workshop for the slot. If the timing needs juggling around the seller, call us and we'll work it out.
