Tarneit VIC 3029, Australia

Hii ,I am looking to hire a professional mechanic for a thorough car inspection. The inspection should cover all major systems including engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electronics to ensure the vehicle is in good condition. This is for a pre-purchase evaluation, so attention to detail and experience with used car assessments are essential. The inspection should be performed at the vehicle's current location, so a mobile mechanic is preferred. Reliability and transparency are a must. I’m located in tarneit Near shopping central. Can pick you up from your location. It's only 20- 22 minutes away from tarneit shopping center. It's only 1.5 to 2 hours job.

Used car pre-purchase inspection

$400

Melbourne VIC, Australia

24th Feb 2025

I require assistance finding a good used car and performing a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. I don't drive much (~5,000 km per year) and am looking for a car known for its reliability, as my previous purchase was a lemon from the beginning. My preferred options are sedans such as the Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, or Honda Civic. I am open to suggestions regarding the car's make, model, year, mileage, and hearing options for the best car based on my usage. Budget for the used car: $10k - $15k Services Required: - Sourcing a Used Car - preferably from a private party, as I feel dealerships often lack knowledge of the car's history and are overpriced compared to private sellers. Also, dealerships are professional second-hand car salespeople, literally. - Pre-Purchase Checks and Inspections - Please provide a comprehensive list of checks you do, including initial contact with the seller to ask essential questions, followed by a thorough on-site inspection of the car. Please provide if the fees for the different reports to order are included (PPSR, Car History, VicRoads reports, etc.). - Assistance in negotiating the price with the seller

Rajender went above and beyond. Highly recommend him for his expertise

I need a HZ Holden visually inspected for excess rust (there is some present obviously, just want to know how bad) and since it's unlicensed, just have the car started and idled for a while to check for leaks, overheating, anything obviously wrong.

Managed to make a call to organise viewing of the car within minutes and perform the inspection within an hour of job confirmation. Can't ask for much better than that.
