What Our Customers Are Saying
Chloe R, Essendon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Car wouldn’t start properly. They came out, diagnosed the issue as the starter motor, had the part on hand and fixed it straight away. Super efficient.
Natalie P, Point Cook
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With two kids at home, it’s hard to get to a mechanic. Having someone come to the house and service the car while I got on with my day made life so much easier.
Liam B, St Kilda
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They gave me a price over the phone and stuck to it. No pressure, no sales pitch, just got the job done properly and left everything clean. Really impressed.
Emily S, Brunswick
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Woke up to a flat battery and needed to get to work. Called these guys and they were at my place quickly. Super friendly and had me sorted in no time. Zero stress.
Daniel K, Berwick
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Booked them for a logbook service and couldn’t be happier. The mechanic arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to upsell. Will definitely use them again.

What is a Pre‑Purchase Car Inspection?
A pre‑purchase car inspection is a thorough assessment completed by a qualified mechanic before you buy a second-hand vehicle. It helps identify mechanical, structural or safety issues that might not be obvious during a quick look.
Once the inspection is done, you’ll get a detailed report covering the car’s condition, estimated repair costs and any warning signs that could impact its reliability, safety or long-term value.
Why Get a Pre‑Purchase Car Inspection?
Used cars often look fine on the surface, but hidden problems can cost you thousands. Our inspections are designed to:
-
Catch mechanical issues before they become your problem
-
Help you negotiate a fair price
-
Ensure the car is roadworthy and safe
-
Give you peace of mind before making a big purchase
You’ll receive a full report outlining the vehicle’s condition, potential repairs and anything that might affect its value or safety.
