Pre-purchase inspection for 2013 Hyundai Accent automatic, 150,800km

$70

Prestons NSW 2170, Australia

10th Sep 2026

I’m looking to buy a 2013 Hyundai Accent automatic with approximately 150,800 km and need a qualified/experienced mechanic to carry out a thorough pre-purchase inspection before I buy it. Please check the engine, automatic transmission, cooling system, brakes, suspension/steering, tyres, battery/electrical system, fluid/oil leaks, underbody/chassis, A/C, and signs of previous accident repairs. I would also like an OBD/computer diagnostic scan and a test drive if the seller allows it. Please pay particular attention to the engine and transmission condition due to the mileage and let me know about any repairs that may be required soon and their approximate costs. I would prefer a written report/photos and your overall opinion on whether the car is worth buying.

Car inspection - need a mechanic

$80

Freshwater NSW 2096, Australia

10th Sep 2026

Hi, I am looking to purchase a car but would like to bring a mechanic to the inspection to validate it’s a good purchase and run the usual checks. In particular the car owner said ‘The radio works, as do parking sensors, reversing camera etc but you cannot connect mobile via Bluetooth. My mechanic believes it is a fuse’. So I would like to ensure it’s just a fuse. The car is a 2013 Ford Kuga Titanium TF Auto AWD

Mattie turned up and the seller didn’t answer for over half an hour. Turns out they’d supplied the number wrong, and despite the fact he’d left and travelled some distance he turned around and did the job. Also communicated impeccably. Highly recommend.

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 👍
