Brent has gone above and beyond with constant verbal contact, a very in-depth inspection much longer than I have ever heard of and even keeping in contact until the purchase goes through. Thanks a million, you are a legend.

Muni was amazing to deal with. He paid a lot of attention to detail including a vehicle report. He insisted on the dealer to make a few amendments for our benefit and peace of mind when purchasing the vehicle . Very friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be in touch again!

Used car road test inspection

Oakleigh VIC 3166, Australia

6th Feb 2026

I'm a purchaser wanting to buy a 2014 Toyota Hiace Commuter. It has been inspected by Redbookinspect. However, the road test missed due to liability limits of Redbook and the inspector not driving it. The price reflects ONLY the items in the photos to be checked. Trying to save money so I won't need a full inspection. I've already paid a lot of money on inspections. I hope we can work something out. Cheers.

Campbellfield VIC 3061, Australia

I need someone who is very experienced with servicing Ford's and know all the known issues especially with a heavily modified vehicle. I need the person for approximate 1.5 hrs and need a detailed report and a thorough inspection. This needs to be done during the day tomorrow.

Adam and Camille were fantastic, professional and thorough. They took their time examining the vehicle and pointing out issues and explained everything well. As a RWC inspector Adam was able to articulate exactly what needed to be done to get the RWC. They were also very accommodating, fitting in an inspection with a day's notice and also patient with the seller who changed the location on them at the last second. Highly recommended!

Hello Airtaskers (especially my mechanic friends)! I am looking to buy a 2014 Mazda 3 Astina SP25 which has an odometer reading of 192k. The car comes with RWC and warranties however I need someone to do a comprehensive pre purchase inspection of the car before I go ahead with the purchase! I will prefer someone who has experience with Mazdas and has done PPI in the past and has the scan tools etc. Thank you!

Adam and his partner carried out the comprehensive PPI and helped me in avoiding a car which was about to buy. Adam found all the issues the car had and the major issue being the transmission. I was advised to avoid the car which I did. I will use Adam’s services again in the future. Thanks Adam.
