One skipped
inspection.

Chapter three · The report
01
Full mechanical

180+ checkpoints

Engine, gearbox, cooling, suspension, brakes, electrical, body, chassis, interior, road test — every system, on one page.

02
Visual proof

50+ HD photos

Every finding annotated. Underbody rust, panel gaps, paint depth readings, worn brake pads, weeping seals — visual proof, not opinion.

03
Video

3 walkaround videos

Exterior 360°, interior condition, cold-start engine bay. Sound and vision the seller can't spin.

04
Negotiation

Estimated repair costs

Prioritised list — safety, urgent, deferred — with an estimated cost to repair each issue. Use it to walk away, or renegotiate on paper.

05
Paperwork

PPSR history check

Finance owing, write-off history, stolen check and NEVDIS odometer plausibility. Included, not upsold.

Chapter four · The verdicts

Reviews

Buyers who didn't get burned.

4.9 · 380+ reviews

"The report was ready before I got home. Photos of every issue, brutal and honest. Saved us walking into a $6k repair."

Priya S.
Chatswood

"Booked at 8am, mechanic on-site by 11. Talked us through every finding on the phone. Worth ten times the price."

Daniel R.
Bondi

"Second car we've used them for. Total peace of mind — dealer pushed back until they saw the report."

Our commitments

Three unambiguous promises.

We can't promise the car you're looking at is a good one. We can promise the inspection you paid for will be thorough, honest, and clearly explained — under a simple, fair cancellation policy.

01
Free changes up to 24 hours out

Cancel or reschedule free up to 24 hours before your booking. If we ever have to reschedule, you choose the next slot or a full refund.

02
Clear rules if the seller lets you down

If we arrive and the car isn't there or the seller refuses the inspection, a 50% cancellation fee covers the mechanic's time and travel — the other 50% is refunded.

03
The report reads clearly

If any finding in your report is unclear, a senior mechanic will call and walk you through it — no extra charge, no time limit.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Still have a question? Call us on the number in the header — we answer 7 days.

How long does an inspection take?+

Around 90 minutes on-site plus a 2–5 km road test. Your written report lands in your inbox instantly — before we leave the car — with 50+ HD photos, 3 videos, estimated repair costs and PPSR summary.

What do I need to organise?+

Just the seller's contact. We call to arrange access. Bring the car to us or we go to it — same flat $250. Cancel or reschedule free up to 24 hours before. If we arrive and the car isn't there or the seller refuses access, a 50% cancellation fee applies.

Do you inspect at dealerships?+

Yes — dealers see us regularly. We're fully independent, take no referral fees, and dealers can't influence a word of the report.

What if the car fails?+

You get the same full report either way. Most clients use failed inspections to renegotiate the price or walk away. That is the point of paying us.

Do you cover EVs and hybrids?+

Yes — including battery state-of-health scans for Tesla, BYD, MG, Polestar, and most hybrids. Same flat $250.

How far ahead do I need to book?+

Instant reports are standard when you book before 10am. Weekends fill up by Thursday — the earlier you lock a window, the more you'll get to choose from.

Can I be there during the inspection?+

Absolutely encouraged. Buyers who come along learn a lot about the car. If you can't be there, we call you before we leave to walk through the findings verbally.

What isn't included?+

We're a non-invasive inspection — no dismantling, no gearbox oil pans, no compression tests unless requested. See the exclusions page for the full list.

Do you check the paperwork?+

Yes. PPSR (finance owing, written-off, stolen), NEVDIS odometer plausibility, and rego status are all included in every report at no extra cost.

What areas do you cover?+

All of Greater Sydney at the flat $250 — CBD to Penrith, Northern Beaches to Sutherland Shire. Central Coast, Wollongong and Blue Mountains available on request.
