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.

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.

Medindie SA 5081, Australia
4th Nov 2026
Pre purchase inspection needed Thursday at 10 am for a 2017 Toyota Camry Altise with 130000 km at a dealer in medindie. The car has been sitting unused for about 2 months so please check carefully. Please do a cold start and OBD scan for stored and pending codes, a battery and alternator test, and check engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid condition plus any leaks, belts, hoses and engine mounts. Inspect the brakes including pads, discs and calipers sticking from sitting, plus brake fluid and handbrake. Check tyres for tread, age, cracks and flat spots, and the spare. On a hoist or jack please check suspension, steering, wheel bearings and CV boots. Look for rust on the sills, door bottoms, wheel arches, underbody and around the door handles, and any signs of accident repair or flood damage. Test all electrics, lights, windows, locks, both keys, air con, heater and reversing camera. Do a test drive of at least 20 minutes including highway, checking shifting, braking, steering and noises, then recheck for leaks and codes. Please provide a written report with photos, repairs needed now and within 12 months with rough costs, and your honest opinion on buying it. Budget is around 120 dollars but I am happy to pay more for a thorough job. Thanks
