Frequently Asked Questions

Q - Why we don’t to offer a mobile service to inspect vehicles at the vendors premises?
A - In order for our technicians to fully inspect the under portion of the vehicle, the suspension, the exhaust, the brake pipes and hoses to name just a few items, the vehicle needs to be up on hoist to give us total access to all the sections that to be inspected. The total time you are paying for is devoted to the inspection and not a technicians wasted time driving around Sydney to get to the vendor.

Q - Why do we need the vehicle for 4 to 5 hours?
A -The cost of the inspection is directly related to the time we invest in examining your vehicle. Firstly we do a diagnostic drivability test this can take up to 20 minutes, this includes travelling over various types of surfaces and inclines. There after we raise the vehicle up on a hoist for the item by item inspection.

Q - How soon will I get a report?
A - On the day of the inspection we will give you both a verbal report and an interpretation of the report. Should you have an email address we will email you a copy of the report by the end of business that day.

Q - Will the motor dealer agree to bring the vehicle to us for inspection?
A - The higher the cost of the vehicle the more important it is for you to know what the actual condition of the vehicle is that you are considering buying. If the dealer is keen on selling the car and believes that it is in good condition he will organise to bring it to us.
Should the dealer undertake to fix any defects we have found we will re-inspect the reported defects at a reduced price.

Q - Why does cost of the inspection vary from vehicle to vehicle?
A - Once again the cost of the inspection is directly related to the time we spend examining the vehicle. From experience we know the time we need to invest in different vehicles in order to give you a meaningful report.

Q - With whom do you share the examination report?
A - The person who pays for the examination owns the intellectual information. Where the purchaser pays the information the report is given to them alone. Should the purchaser choose to share the information with the vendor in order to achieve a lower purchase price this is the purchaser choice. We will not under any circumstances have any discussions with the vendor about the vehicle.
