Basic Inspection Package (Essential Inspection)

Perfect for buyers who need a quick, essential inspection with instant results.

$348

Inc. GST

Same-day availability
Why it matters: Protects you from losing a bargain. Get peace of mind immediately, without delays.
If skipped: Waiting days for an inspection can result in losing the vehicle to another buyer or missing hidden issues in a rushed purchase.
Photos of areas requiring attention only
Why it matters: Clear visual proof of key issues helps you make fast, informed decisions.
If skipped: You might miss visible damage or wear that the seller didn’t disclose.
Exterior and interior condition check
Why it matters: We check for signs of past accidents, repainting, and wear and tear inside the cabin.
If skipped: You could end up with cosmetic or structural damage that lowers resale value or leads to expensive repairs.
Engine inspection for leaks, unusual noises, and performance issues
Why it matters: Detect hidden engine faults early, including oil leaks, overheating risks, and poor idling.
If skipped: Undetected engine issues can cost thousands in repairs or lead to breakdowns soon after purchase.
Tyres, wheels, and brakes check
Why it matters: We assess tread depth, wear patterns, brake pad life, and wheel condition for your safety and roadworthiness.
If skipped: Worn tyres or brake issues put you at serious risk — and replacing them can be costly right after buying.
Diagnostic check of the engine management systems (OBD scan)
Why it matters: We plug into the car’s onboard computer to check for hidden error codes and pending faults.
If skipped: The car may appear fine but hide serious electronic or engine problems not visible during a manual check.
Road test (2–3 km)
Why it matters: A real-world drive reveals engine performance, suspension issues, braking feel, and transmission behaviour.
If skipped: You could miss vibration problems, steering faults, or poor gear shifts that only show while driving.
PPSR Check (Valued at $30)
Why it matters: A complete legal background check to protect you from buying a car with unpaid loans, theft history, or write-offs.
If skipped: You risk repossession, legal issues, or unknowingly buying a previously damaged or stolen vehicle.

Breakdown of PPSR Check:
• PPSR Certificate: Legal proof of the car’s background.
• Stolen Vehicle Check: Ensures the car isn’t reported stolen.
• Written-Off Check: Identifies past total-loss insurance claims.
• Finance Check: Confirms there are no outstanding loans or encumbrances.
• Registration Details: Validates current rego and expiry dates.
Instant digital report upon completion
Why it matters: You receive a professional report you can review or send to others immediately post inspection — no waiting.
If skipped: You’re left guessing or relying on word-of-mouth and have no proof if things go wrong.

Standard Inspection Package (Comprehensive Inspection)

For families or buyers who want a deeper look before investing in a reliable car.

$497

Inc. GST

  • Everything in the Basic Package, plus:

    Note: All essential checks from the Basic Package are included — no need to miss the fundamentals.

Photos of all visible inspected items
Why it matters: You see the vehicle exactly as the inspector sees it — from tyres to engine bay, dashboard lights to underbody.
If skipped: You may miss seeing important wear, damage, or inconsistencies not mentioned in writing.
Underbody rust and damage check
Why it matters: We inspect for frame damage or corrosion that could affect safety and longevity.
If skipped: Major structural rust or impact damage may remain hidden and cost thousands to fix.
Suspension, shocks, and mounts check
Why it matters: Ensures a smooth, safe ride by checking for worn or broken suspension parts.
If skipped: You risk poor handling, uneven tyre wear, or failing suspension — all expensive to repair.
Cabin electronics and switch inspection
Why it matters: We test the functionality of windows, mirrors, lights, stereo, AC, and more.
If skipped: Faulty components might result in unexpected repair bills or inconvenience post-purchase.
Inspection of seats, belts, and roof lining
Why it matters: Confirms seat condition, belt safety, and interior quality including sagging or stained roof lining.
If skipped: Can lead to cosmetic issues or missed safety concerns, especially for family buyers.
Road test (5–8 km)
Why it matters: Extended drive reveals deeper engine and transmission behaviour, brake feel, alignment and suspension issues.
If skipped: Shorter or no test drive may miss problems that only show up at higher speeds or longer usage.
PPSR Check with breakdown
Why it matters: Provides full background including finance, theft, write-offs, rego and more.
If skipped: Legal or financial issues may fall on you unexpectedly.

Breakdown:
• PPSR Certificate
• Stolen Vehicle Check
• Written-Off Check
• Finance Check
• Registration Details
Repair Quotes Assistance
Why it matters: We help you understand potential repair costs for flagged issues, giving negotiation power.
If skipped: You may overpay or underestimate post-purchase expenses due to lack of repair pricing insights.

Ultimate Inspection Package (Ultimate Inspection)

Designed for buyers of high-value or unique vehicles who want complete peace of mind before making a purchase.

$594

Inc. GST

Start sequence video
Why it matters: We capture how the vehicle starts including any hesitation, noises, or dash warnings, so you feel like you’re right there turning the key yourself.
If skipped: Skipping the Start Sequence Video takes away the immersive, on-scene experience, leaving the buyer without the visual and emotional confidence of seeing the car come to life firsthand.
360° walkaround video
Why it matters: Offers a complete visual scan of the vehicle from every angle to assess paint, panels, and presence.
If skipped: You could miss mismatched paint, dents, or irregularities only visible through a full body view.
Engine running video
Why it matters: Lets you hear and see how the engine runs — from idle smoothness to exhaust sounds.
If skipped: You miss identifying knocks, rattles, or irregular running sounds that suggest trouble.
Interior features demo video
Why it matters: We show key internal features working — like infotainment, aircon, seat adjustments, and more.
If skipped: Functional issues like a broken screen or faulty controls may go unnoticed until after purchase.
Test drive video footage
Why it matters: See and hear how the car drives — acceleration, braking, steering, and comfort — just like you’re in the passenger seat.
If skipped: You miss experiencing the true drive feel, which is often the biggest deal-breaker or clincher in buying.
Specific inspection on known problems for that vehicle make and model
Why it matters: We check issues that are common for this exact make/model/year — based on mechanical experience and known recalls or failure points.
If skipped: Risk of inheriting hidden issues that are frequently overlooked — like timing belt problems or electrical glitches typical for the car.
