What do car inspection services include?

Car inspection services range from general check-ups of a vehicle’s status and performance to more specific assessments of its history and licensing. This is usually done regularly, either for maintenance inspections or assessing the car’s condition before putting it in the market or transferring its ownership. Here are some services that you can expect when you book a car inspection through Airtasker:


Pre-Purchase Car Inspection


Prior to buying or selling a used vehicle, one of the most important tasks to accomplish is a pre-purchase car inspection. Aside from giving you a basic rundown of what needs repairing, it can also supply you with the information necessary to attach a reasonable price tag for the vehicle being checked. Car warranty inspections are often a part of this process and can also be valuable input for a buyer to take note of before they make their final decision.

 

Pink Slip Inspection


Vehicles more than five years old are the usual target for #pink slip inspections or E-Safety checks. When registering your car, your renewal papers might indicate the need for this. Upon doing so, an inspector can verify that your vehicle is road-worthy—allowing you to register your car for the year accordingly.


Blue Slip Inspection
Blue slip inspections check the roadworthiness of unregistered vehicles that fall under the following scenarios:

 

  • Autos that haven’t been inspected for the past three months
  • Vehicles with no number plates
  • Automobiles that have undergone significant adjustments in registration records
  • Cars that have been imported from overseas

 

This process ensures that your car will be ready to get back on the road once the registration has pulled through.

 

Car Interior and Exterior Inspection

Any dent, scratch, or damage can make or break a car's overall appearance, which is why it's imperative to get a thorough interior and exterior inspection. Hire an expert to check every nook and cranny of a vehicle—from its exterior paint, headlights, and tyres to the dashboard and upholstery. Should any issue arise during the procedure, you can also book a professional #car detailing specialist to give an automobile that showroom quality it deserves.


Engine Inspection

An engine inspection or a car diagnostics test can spot all sorts of car problems even before they occur, sparing you and your vehicle from further damage and more costly repairs in the future. An expert mechanic will check all the essential car parts like the brakes, alternator, cooling systems, gaskets, battery, and suspension, among others. Electrical wirings will also be inspected to ensure that every connection is in its proper order.

Dingley VIC, Australia

I've been looking at a 2015 Nissan Navara which is for sale in Dingley Village. The car looks decent for its age and has done around 100,000km. I need a pre-purchase inspection for mechanical / chassis / panel to make sure it's worth spending the money and then bringing the car over to WA. In one of the pictures there is minor panel damage and the seller has been up front in telling me that someone hit him when the car was parked. It's currently being fixed by the 'at fault' driver's insurance company. He expects the car to come back by the end of this week and then is happy to have an inspection done.

Looking at buying an imported Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78. It's got the 1kz-te engine. 292,000km I'm looking for someone to have a look over it and much sure I'm not going to get a lemon. I've had a good look but I'm not 100% Especially looking for an inspection on the mechanical side of things - engine, suspension & shocks, brakes. Also, double check the rust situation. I think it looks pretty good - just some surface rust underneath, Thanks in advance
