A thorough pre-inspection of a car to buy. This is prior to them getting a RWC, but want to ensure other factors are taken into account. Help to decide if to proceed.

Would highly recommended Adam and Camilla for pre inspection. Adam even attended during a family emergency, which I really appreciated. Pointed out faults with the car I wouldn’t have found and were extremely thorough in their approach. Ended up not buying the car, so definitely worth paying to get this done first. 10/10

Thankyou you so much. To Adam and your Wife, They completed a car inspection for me and even drove out further than usual without charging me extra. They did such a thorough check of the vehicle and sent through all the details and photos, explaining what wasn’t good on the car and what needed to be fixed for it to be roadworthy. Adam kept me updated the whole time, exceeded my expectations. Communication wise also. Highly recommend Adam.

I am looking at a Toyota Hiace this Wednesday at 5.15 pm in Boronia and would love a mechanic to come with me, as I am not able to inspect the car thoroughly myself. Especially things like the Injectors, Timing belt and preferably with a computer scan to see faulty messages. Thanks for reaching out!

Kamila and Adam are amazing! I feel very grateful that I had them for the pre purchase inspection. They are thorough and extremely professional. What I appreciated most was that they took the time to talk to me and explain me crucial points to look at - I’ve learnt something! Will definitely call them for further help, inspections and issues. Very pleasant experience.
