An independent look over a used car before you commit, with a written report you can act on or walk away from.
A used car looks its best on the day it is being sold. A clean engine bay and fresh tyres hide a lot. By the time a problem shows up the money has changed hands and you own it.
An inspection puts a qualified set of eyes over the car while you still have the option to say no. Or to go back and negotiate with something specific in your hand.
The report tells you what is wrong, what it is likely to cost and how urgent it is. We separate the things that make a car unsafe or uneconomic from the things every used car of that age has. One of those is a reason to walk. The other is a reason to offer less.
We are not the ones selling you the car, which is the entire point.
Check with the seller that the car can be brought to us in Windsor Gardens. Most genuine sellers have no problem with an inspection. Hesitation about one is worth paying attention to on its own.
No. We can go through the report with you over the phone and send it through in writing.
The car needs to come to the workshop so it can go on a hoist. A proper look underneath is where a lot of the important findings come from. That is not possible in a driveway.
We will tell you what we found, what it means and what it is likely to cost. Plenty of cars are worth buying with a known fault at the right price. The decision stays yours, with better information behind it.
They are different things. An inspection tells you the condition of the car you are considering. If you need a safety or roadworthy check, tell us and we will sort that instead.
Tell us what is going on and we will give you a straight answer on what it needs and what it costs.
