Really knowledgeable and told us exactly what is wrong with our car, even though the news is awful we are thankful there is someone like him who knows what they are talking about and we can take the next steps to fix it. Couldn't reccomend more. I have seen over 50 mechanics in Oz and he's the first who really knows his stuff and has diagnosed our issue.

Pre-purchase inspection on a 2014 Toyota Vellfire V6
$200
Blair Athol SA, Australia
27th Mar 2025
Hi there, I’m looking for a thorough pre-purchase inspection on a 2014 Toyota Vellfire V6. The vehicle shows a low odometer reading of 60,000 km, which seems unusual for its age. The leather on the mid-row seats is worn, and there are scratches on the interior plastics—so I’d like you to check for any signs of odometer tampering. Please pay special attention to: • Common Vellfire issues (e.g., rust underneath, faulty intermediate steering shaft causing steering vibration, rear A/C controller operation). • The engine (checking for leaks, replacements, or any unusual wear). I’ll need a detailed report, including photos of the engine bay and the leather condition. You’ll also need to coordinate directly with the seller to schedule the inspection. The attached photo is just an example. Thanks for reading.

Eastwood SA, Australia

Hi guys, Looking for a (preferred) mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection on a Mazda 3 MPS located in Eastwood, SA. I'm located in Melbourne, VIC, and this is why I'm requesting this inspection remotely. Most important to me are: - Checking of service history legitimacy - Potential roadworthy items which I may be required to fix once I get it back to Victoria - Any potential mechanical issues, so preferred knowledge on known issues for this model is preferred - Interior and exterior inspection - making sure to note any paint chips, scratches, torn carpet, scuffs on trims or missing trims etc. Thanks, Harley.


He's a legend. Was very prompt and made it super easy for me as I live in another state. Gave him 3 hours notice to do the job and he still did it, which I very much appreciated. He gave a fairly well detailed physical report and a verbal discussion relating to my issues and concerns. Very professional, would use again. Cheers legend.

$100
Adelaide, South Australia
19th Nov 2024
This task involves a detailed examination of a used vehicle to assess its mechanical condition and ensure it meets safety and performance standards. The inspection should include the following steps: 1. Exterior and Structural Check: • Inspect the bodywork for signs of rust, dents, or previous repairs (e.g., mismatched paint or uneven panels). • Examine undercarriage and frame for structural damage or previous accidents. 2. Engine and Transmission Inspection: • Check for oil leaks, unusual noises, or signs of wear in the engine bay. • Test the transmission (automatic or manual) for smooth shifting and responsiveness. 3. Brake System: • Evaluate brake pad thickness, rotor condition, and brake fluid levels. • Test the functionality of the braking system, including the emergency brake. 4. Suspension and Steering: • Inspect shock absorbers, struts, and suspension components for damage or wear. • Test steering alignment and response during a short test drive. 5. Electrical System: • Check the battery health, lights, and electronic components such as the infotainment system, power windows, and central locking. 6. Tyres and Wheels: • Inspect tyre tread depth, wear patterns, and overall condition. • Ensure wheels are balanced and free from damage. 7. Road Test: • Conduct a thorough test drive to evaluate engine performance, handling, and potential noises under various conditions. 8. Rego and Roadworthy Certificate Verification: • Ensure the vehicle’s registration (Rego) is current and check for a valid Roadworthy Certificate. 9. Diagnostic Scan: • Use a diagnostic scanner to identify any hidden issues in the car’s electronic systems, such as the engine control unit or airbags.
