Pre purchase inspection of car

Todd and his work partner saved me from buying a heap of scrap. The woman I was buying it off had me reeled into a load of fake lies and stories and I usually have a good judge of character. Just goes to show you should always get the vehicle checked. Thanks again Todd 🙌🏼

Car mechanical inspection

$350

Prospect NSW 2148, Australia

15th Aug 2026

Must be a registered mechanic and be insured and provide a guarantee of work. I need a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection on this 2011 Lexus LX570, starting with a full OBD-II diagnostic scan and a rigorous road test to evaluate transmission shifting, engine performance, and 4WD engagement. Under the hood, specifically check the 5.7L V8 for common cam tower oil leaks and valley plate coolant leaks, alongside a general assessment of all fluids, belts, and hoses. Hoist the vehicle to thoroughly scrutinize the frame, undercarriage, and wheel wells for any signs of surface or structural rust, while also inspecting panel gaps, paint consistency, and factory weld points for any evidence of historical crash damage or concealed bodywork repairs. Finally, assess brake and tire wear, and test the Active Height Control (AHC) suspension system through all its height settings to ensure it operates smoothly without fluid leaks or accumulator pressure loss. Provide full photo suite of car and a written report of findings.

My 2012 Mazda6 has a warning message "i-eloop inspection required"

$100

Drummoyne NSW 2047, Australia

4th Aug 2026

My 2012 Mazda6 has a warning message "i-eloop inspection required", that's been dragging on for more than a year now. I've taken my car to many mechanics and a few electricians, including Mazda House, and no one has been able to fully fix my problem. I had the alternator replaced, the capacitor replaced, new battery, nothing has fixed the problem.

Good communication and punctual guy 👍
