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.

Pre-Purchase Inspection for 2012 Citroën C4

$175

Emrah was the perfect guy for the job. He did a comprehensive assessment of the 4WD I was interested in and immediately picked out the issues (and there were a few) and used them to help me negotiate the price down. He's a great communicator, an honest guy, and really passionate about his work. I would 100% recommend Emrah to my friends/family for pre-purchase car inspections and general servicing/repairs.

Bonnyrigg NSW 2177, Australia

19th Feb 2026

Looking for a qualified mechanic with a high-end diagnostic scanner and a coolant pressure tester to inspect a Mazda 3 (2.2L Skyactiv-D Diesel) with ~160,000km. The car recently experienced a brief heat seizure while driving. It entered Limp Mode, lost power, and was towed. It now starts, but it is "guzzling" water from the radiator rapidly. I need a professional verdict on the internal state of the engine.

Work was completed properly and to a high standard. Talal is a very pleasant gentleman who clearly knows his craft. He offered some genuinely useful advice about my car that I didn't even ask for, which I really appreciated. Would confidently recommend him to anyone dealing with mechanical issues - you're in good hands!
