We specialise in pre-purchase inspections for vehicles and machines, ensuring they're safe roadworthy and worth your investment. Motorbike, car, truck, trailers
It's not that a car can't be repaired after an accident. It's just that we haven't inspected a repairable write-off where the seller has been honest about its history. If you can't trust the buyer, don't buy the car!
Thanks to the Subaru valeter that let me share his shelter today for my pre-purchase inspection.
Adelaide had strong winds, heavy down pours, super high tides, and rough seas. But we still got the inspections done.

Just listen to this video after weeks of ignoring it. I want taught much about business, even though my mum and dad owned two, school certainly didn't. After starting this business, my outlook has changed, and I really couldn't fault much of your analysis. Just wanted to say thanks for being so honest and pushing back on your analysis. Gary may have some good stuff, but it sounded like he had a real chip on his shoulder about rich people, even though he made his money in finance where (of I am honest) I feel wealth is speculated upon rather than created. He also was only able to make his wealth because of people who made wealth in forms of companies. I may be 40, but I am starting to make good money, which I couldn't have done as an employee or burying my head in the sand with all the new tech coming down the pipeline. If I can learn it, then I can teach my boys, because the school are certainly no good at teaching anything too useful for business. Thanks again.
I have test driven a 2024 Mustang, 2024 Mach E (not a Mustang), and now a 1966 Mustang. This one was by far my favourite.
Yes we can do prepurchase vehicle inspections on electric cars (EV), performance cars, and classic cars. What ever you are looking for, know what the vehicle is really like before you put down your hard earned cash.

Tell me you need a prepurchase vehicle inspection, without telling me you need a prepurchase inspection.... OK!
Just imagine, the wires rub through, creating a short, blowing the fuse protecting it. This is on a caravan, so you won't be at the dealer for another 200km so you accept the fault on the device that stopped working until you return.
Vehicles aren't a solid mass, everything moves which creates movement between parts. The screw rubs a small hole in the gas pipe, not enough to fail, but small enough to let out a tiny bit of gas.
When you return, you ask the dealer to look at some issues with the oven, and the electrical device. They turn on the gas, go in the caravan, put in a new fuse.... KABOOM!!!
OK, this might be unlikely, but technically possible. So let's remove the screw, repair the cables, and seal the floor, and we can all rest easy that our new home on wheels isn't going to suffer a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
We don't just do prepurchase caravan inspection, we do #rv #motorcycle #truck #4x4 #van #car #campervan #caravan or any other machine you want inspecting.

Why is this car considered unsafe, even though everything looks OK?
Sometimes it's not enough to know the basics, sometimes you need to deeper knowledge of the Australian Design Rules to spot why a vehicle is considered unsafe.
In this case the tyres are OK, they have over the minimum tread depth, there is no damage, and they have not work un evenly.
Unfortunately, the car requires rated at 290kph, and the tyres on them are rated for 270kph. It's easy to miss, but in a serious accident, the inadequate tyre for the vehicle could be a contributing factor to the accident.
You may also find your insurance void as a result of the tyres that were fitted by a reputable dealer who installed the wrong tyres. You may end up having to sue the dealer to recoup your loss, and that's a headache I would rather avoid.
These tyres need replacing, you should be able to get the tyre fitting company to do it, but if not, you need to pay $1500 for a new set of boots for your car.
So when I'm asked if a prepurchase car inspection is worth it on a newish or low km car, my answer is yes, because this had several services since the tyres were fitted and no one noticed.
Get your vehicle inspected before you buy it, give us a call in South Australia to avoid the headaches listed above.

It's a hard choice, but do you go for new or classic, car or ute, all your gear or all your family?
Iloved both these cars!
The BMW M4 had crazy mods and a great sounding exhaust. But the Ute was also quick, manual, fun to drive, can carry all my gear, and will only have one annoying noise coming from the front seat! (Sorry wife, I do love you, I meant the kids)
Both had a prepurchase car inspection, each one had a few little issues, and both will provide for the needs of the buyer.

Would you tell a customer to buy this car? Would you buy this car if you knew this.....
A prepurchase car inspection is about telling the true story of a car and all the potential risks. It would be great if everything was a cheap fix, but you have to take into account that you are walking into a lengthy diagnostic process, and cost more to fix than a car without these issues.
This car also had several other fats too, including the front brake pipes so badly deteriated that the cracks in the pipe were almost through to the brake fluid. Even if the engine was a cheap fix, the other issues would have cost as much as the car.

There are cars, motorbikes, and then there is this Mini with a Yamaha R1 motorbike engine....
I would love to road test this, so if you are interested in buying this, and you want an inspection including a road test, give us a call.
It even goes as fast backwards as it does forwards!

PSA: Plenty of people want to rip you off from your hard earned cash and don't care if it risks your safety. I just inspected another vehicle that was written off, repaired, and sold to an unsuspecting lady. Why is it that airbags faults exist in half of them with no light?
Modified parts may look great but they might not pass a roadworthy, or even cost you more if the original parts don't come with the bike.
That's why I started doing prepurchase inspections, to help people avoid nasty surprises. Info on our website in the bio.

Worst car so far: Great vehicle, with no engine light and full coolant overflow....
Except the engine light was disconnected and there was no coolant in the radiator, including a misfire and active codes for O2 sensor failure.
This is why I started doing prepurchase car inspections, and you can book one in South Australia by going to the website in our bio!

Quick question, would you drive, buy, or trade these three cars?
I've been out doing some premium prepurchase car inspections and got the chance to drive some amazing cars last week.
So simple question: Which car would you drive for fun, which one would you buy, and which one would you trade in? No wrong answers!
If you find yourself in the market for any of these, give us a call and book a prepurchase inspection to make sure they are as good underneath as they look from the outside.

I think we could make car inspection bingo out of these....
I would also add a few of my own in too:
Very clean for age - It's had a hard life
Like new, low Km's - Repairable Write-Off
Shopping trolley dent repaired - Right fender, both doors, rear quarter panel, and boot lid repaired
Price flexible - Don't do a PPSR, we still owe money
Nothing wrong with it - I haven't looked, so it doesn't exist
Good tyres - they are black, round, and look good only on the outside
I'll stop there for now, but if you want a prepurchase car inspection to avoid these issues, give us a call or check out our website.
Thank-you to everyone who has teamed up with us to check out their vehicles and help them buy their dream vehicle, while avoiding the lemons. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to start your engines for 2025!
