This was the 1st time I looked into buying a car and hired a mechanic for an inspection. Paul was absolutely a delight to deal with and his decades of experience offered everything you could ask to know bout cars and more I didn’t end up buying the car I got Paul to help me look into. For that I actually wanna say a big thank you to him, for saving me tons of headaches and times and money that I would have gotten myself into, lol He’s a timely professional mechanic with keen eyes looking for details and suspicions, full of knowledge logic and FUN He explained those very complicated car things during our test drive in an easy-to-understand way, so I got to know the current and future related issues with the car He helped me negotiated with the seller, also warned them bout the car’s issue (dunno if it made any sense to them tho cos they seemed to just want the $) He also spent ++ time giving me insights bout buying used cars and stuff Was just a delight to work with. Highly recommended!

Suggested reads about Car Inspection

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.

Need a professional to go and do a pre purchase inspection and review for me on a car I'm interested in, as I'm interstate. The car is a Range Rover Evoque and I'd like to know honestly the condition of it, the tyres, etc. before booking a one way flight and driving the car back to where I live. After the thorough inspection is conducted, I would like a comprehensive report so I can make the a decision on whether to proceed with the purchase. I would need to know about any defects, problems or issues with the vehicle and comment on the vehicles mechanical condition in the usual manner that a pre-purchase inspection is done, along with the state of the tyres, how long you estimate they have left, and any other interior or exterior things noticeable on the vehicle.

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inquire if you would be available to inspect a car on my behalf. Due to my busy interstate schedule, I cannot personally inspect the vehicle, but I am interested in purchasing it. The car is a 2016 BMW 228i M-Sport F with the following VIN: WBA1F52010VZ36514. It is located in ALLBIDS Showroom Fyshwick. Unfortunately, as this is an auction, there can be no vehicle test drives. I would greatly appreciate it if you could assess its overall condition, including exterior appearance, interior condition, engine health, mileage verification, and any signs of wear or damage. The auction site mentioned some issues with the left brake light failure. Could you also look into that and take detailed videos of the vehicle's start-up and the overall interior and exterior of the car? Please let me know your availability and any associated fees for this service. I understand your time is valuable, and I am willing to compensate you appropriately for your efforts.
