Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection Pricing
Tailored Pricing Solutions
Our inspection services are designed to suit every buyer’s needs. From standard cars to larger commercial vehicles, we provide detailed reports that help you make informed decisions.
What is a pre purchase car inspection and who needs one?
A pre purchase car inspection is a detailed check performed before buying a used car. It helps identify issues that may not be visible during a quick look or a test drive.
We conduct a full mechanical and safety inspection, covering everything from the engine, brakes, suspension, and steering, to the vehicle’s exterior and interior. This is especially useful for buyers of second hand cars looking to reduce risk and avoid costly repairs.
Our mobile car inspectors travel across Sydney to inspect vehicles on site, whether you’re buying from a seller, dealership, or auction. If you want to be confident about the asking price, a professional inspection is a must.
What’s included in a mobile car inspection in Sydney?
Every mobile car inspection includes a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle’s condition, from the hood to the tyres. Our vehicle inspectors look at:
-
Engine performance and leaks
-
Transmission and gearbox
-
Brakes, suspension, and steering
-
Exterior and body damage
-
Interior condition and functionality
-
Underbody and signs of rust or repair
We also offer computer diagnostics, a PPSR report, and a complimentary history check. You’ll get a written report you can understand so you can either walk away or pay a fair price.
Do you inspect all cars or just certain types?
We inspect all types of cars, from small hatchbacks to 4WDs, sedans, and utes. If it’s a used car, we’ll inspect it. We also handle high-end vehicles, imports, and performance models.
Our service is 100% mobile — meaning our inspectors can come to your site, wherever the seller has the vehicle located. This makes the process easier and faster for our customers.
Whether you’re looking at a basic runabout or something more complex, our job is to help you conduct a thorough check before you pay anything. Our friendly staff will help you decide which inspection suits your situation best.
How is this different from a Redbook Inspect service?
We often get asked how we compare to Redbook Inspect. The difference is that our inspections are performed by an experienced diesel mechanic — not just a checklist-based inspector.
While Redbook Inspect services can be useful, many buyers prefer our more personalised, thorough approach, especially when dealing with high-value or complex vehicles.
We don’t rush, and we don’t send out generalists. Our focus is on quality, clarity, and making sure you get the best price or walk away with your money intact. We also explain every part of the report so you can actually understand it, not just skim it.
How much does a pre purchase inspection cost in Sydney?
The cost of a car pre purchase inspection in Sydney depends on the vehicle type, location, and level of inspection required.
Our pricing is transparent, with fixed rates for standard car inspections, and tailored quotes for specialty vehicles.
Included in the price:
-
Travel to the seller’s location
-
On-site inspection
-
Written report
-
PPSR check
-
Optional test drive (if permitted by the seller)
We don’t offer the cheapest inspections — but we deliver real value by helping you avoid bad buys and hidden repairs.
