Mechanic Needed Tomorrow 10am – Audi A1 Inspection – $100

$100

Kellyville NSW 2155, Australia

18th Sep 2026

Audi A1 – Quick Pre-Purchase Inspection Tomorrow – $100 Looking for a qualified mechanic or someone with solid Audi/VW experience to meet me at a private seller’s home in Kellyville tomorrow at 10:00am sharp. I’m looking at purchasing a 2014 Audi A1 Sportback 1.4 TFSI S tronic and would like an experienced person to come along and give it a quick but thorough once-over before I make the purchase. The job should take around 15–20 minutes and I’m offering $100. I’m not after a formal inspection or written report. I just need someone who knows what they're looking at and can give me an honest second opinion. Ideally, I’d like you to: - Check the engine for unusual noises, leaks or obvious issues - Check the S tronic transmission - Look over suspension, brakes and tyres - Check for warning lights or obvious faults - Look for signs of previous accident damage or poor repairs - Listen for anything that doesn't sound right - Take the car for a quick drive around the block - Point out anything that could potentially become an expensive repair Audi/VW experience is strongly preferred, particularly with the 1.4 TFSI and S tronic/DSG. If you have a VAG/OBD scan tool, bring it along, but it's not essential. 📍 Kellyville, NSW 🕙 Tomorrow, 10:00am sharp ⏱️ Approx. 15–20 minutes 💰 $100 I need someone who can definitely make the 10am appointment, as the seller is expecting us. Please mention your mechanical/Audi experience when applying.

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 👍
