Pre-purchase inspection
Know what you’re buying before you pay for it
The car looks fine on the driveway. The seller says it’s fine. The service history is a folder of receipts you can’t check.
What we check
We come to the car, wherever it’s parked, and tell you what’s actually there.
- Full diagnostic scan
- Every module, including codes cleared in the last few days. What somebody erased before a viewing tells you as much as what’s still showing.
- Engine and transmission
- Condition, leaks, and anything that sounds wrong under load.
- Brakes, suspension, steering, tyres
- What’s worn now, and what’s going to want money in six months.
- Cooling, battery, charging
- The things that strand people, and the things nobody checks before a sale.
- Body and panel gaps
- Signs of a previous hit, whatever the history says.
- Then a straight answer
- Buy it, go back and negotiate, or walk.
What it costs
A flat price, agreed before we drive out
It depends on the car and where it’s sitting. Ask when you text and you’ll have the number before anybody gets in a van.
Why it’s worth it
It costs a fraction of what you’re about to spend
You usually get one of two things out of it. Peace of mind, or a reason to knock a few hundred off the asking price.
