Mobile Pre-Purchase

A pre-purchase car inspection is a detailed assessment of a used vehicle carried out by a qualified mechanic before purchase. This process evaluates the car’s mechanical condition, safety, and overall roadworthiness, helping to uncover any existing or potential issues. By having this information upfront, you can make an informed decision, negotiate a fair price, and avoid costly surprises from hidden faults.

A pre-purchase car inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle’s key systems and components to ensure it is safe, reliable, and worth the investment. Our inspections typically cover:

• Engine & Transmission – Checking for leaks, unusual noises, and overall performance.
• Brakes & Suspension – Assessing brake condition, shock absorbers, and suspension components for safety and stability.
• Body & Frame – Inspecting for rust, structural damage, or signs of previous repairs.
• Electrical Systems – Testing lights, indicators, battery, and other key electrical components.
• Interior & Exterior – Reviewing the condition of seats, dashboard, paintwork, and body panels.
• Fluid Levels – Checking oil, coolant, brake fluid, and other essential fluids for proper levels and condition.
