How soon can you come?
Usually within 1–3 days, and same-day inspections may be available. Our live booking calendar shows the current available times. If you can’t find a suitable time, call, text or WhatsApp us on 0451 237 048 and we’ll try to arrange one.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
No deposit is required. Book your inspection time first and payment can be made on the day of the inspection.
Do you go to dealerships and auction yards?
Yes. We are a mobile inspection service and can inspect vehicles at dealerships, private sellers and auction yards, provided there is safe access and enough suitable space to carry out the inspection.
What if the car sells before you get there?
No problem. Just let us know as soon as possible by calling, texting or replying to your booking confirmation. The earlier you let us know, the easier it is to release the inspection time.
Do you check whether there is finance owing?
Yes. A PPSR check can identify whether the vehicle is recorded as stolen, written off or has a registered security interest. PPSR is included with our Comprehensive and Advanced inspection packages and can be added to other packages.
Do I need to be there?
No. You’re welcome to attend, but you don’t need to be there. We can coordinate access with the seller or dealership, carry out the inspection, then contact you with the findings and send your written report.
How much does a pre-purchase car inspection cost in Perth?
Our inspections start from $220 for Standard, $280 for Comprehensive and $350 for Advanced Diagnostic. Pricing is fixed and shown upfront, so you know the inspection cost before booking.
How far do you travel?
We provide mobile inspections across the Perth area. Locations within approximately a 30 km radius of Perth CBD are covered at no additional travel charge. We can also travel further, with any additional travel fee confirmed with you beforehand.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
It depends on the level. A Standard inspection takes about 40 minutes, Comprehensive 60 to 90 minutes, and an Advanced Diagnostic 120 minutes or more. You get a phone call the moment it is finished, then a written report with photographs.
Can you inspect a car before I buy it interstate or sight unseen?
Yes. This is one of the more common reasons people book us. We go to the car, inspect it, and call you with what we found before any money changes hands. You do not need to be there, and you can pay online in advance if that is easier than settling on the day.
How do you inspect underneath the car?
We don’t just look underneath from ground level. Where safe and suitable, we use portable vehicle ramps to raise the car for a closer underbody inspection. This gives better visibility of areas where oil leaks, suspension wear, damaged components and other issues can otherwise be difficult to spot.
Do you check the service history?
Yes, where service records, logbooks or invoices are available at the time of inspection. We review the available history and can highlight missing records or maintenance items that may need further confirmation.
Do you road test the vehicle?
Where the vehicle is registered, safe to drive and permission is available, a road test is carried out as part of the applicable inspection. This helps assess general engine and transmission operation, steering, braking, suspension behaviour, vibration and abnormal noises.
When will I receive my report?
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll contact you with the main findings and highlight anything important straight away. Your complete PDF inspection report, with detailed explanations of the findings, will follow within the next few hours.
