Talal was fantastic with his pre-purchase inspection. Did a thorough check of the car, explained what will need to be replaced and gave me a reasonable timeframe of when (as well as a quick and cheap quote for the works). Have used him before are will continue to use him for all my mechanical needs.

Vehicle pre-purchase inspection

$180

I arranged a pre-purchase inspection with James to attend on my behalf & inspect a car. Seller's photos looked amazing & he described it to be in new condition. James supplied comprehensive and detailed photographs, videos & diagnostic reports. James discovered the vehicle had been involved in a collision & the paintwork to be in extremely poor condition. Very professional with an eye for detail. Saved me $23k. Thanks again!

Byron Bay NSW 2481, Australia

16th Apr 2026

Hi! I’m looking for a qualified mechanic to carry out a pre-purchase inspection. The car is located in Byron Bay, NSW. The car was inspected not long ago, but there are still a few concerns I’d like properly assessed: - Brake issues. Probably need to replace the rotors and pads. - Air conditioning stops working after about 15 minutes - Cooling system — I’m particularly concerned about this. I’m planning to use this vehicle for longer trips, so I need to be confident it’s reliable and in good condition before purchasing. Please let me know your availability and what your inspection would be.
