Why you need a car check before buying

A proper car check before buying uncovers potential issues like worn parts, accident damage, or operational faults. Knowing the true condition of the car before purchasing can save you time, money, and stress — and give you leverage when negotiating a fair price. Thousands of Aussie buyers get vehicle checks before buying a used car.

How a mobile car inspector helps

Our mobile car inspectors bring the workshop to you, anywhere in Australia. They perform high-level assessments of the engine bay, brake performance, tyres, suspension, interior, exterior, and electronic systems. They also check service history, highlight potential repairs, and provide a detailed report with images and commentary. This ensures you make a safe, informed purchase no matter where you are.
