Talal was fantastic with his pre-purchase inspection. Did a thorough check of the car, explained what will need to be replaced and gave me a reasonable timeframe of when (as well as a quick and cheap quote for the works). Have used him before are will continue to use him for all my mechanical needs.

Mechanic needed for inspection Nissan Pussier 01-150 AUD At Freshwater

$150

Emrah was the perfect guy for the job. He did a comprehensive assessment of the 4WD I was interested in and immediately picked out the issues (and there were a few) and used them to help me negotiate the price down. He's a great communicator, an honest guy, and really passionate about his work. I would 100% recommend Emrah to my friends/family for pre-purchase car inspections and general servicing/repairs.

I want someone to go do an inspection of the car. I have already inspected it, and all the things a non mechanic can check are fine.

Adam was professional, reliable, and very easy to deal with. I had some personal issues and needed to change details a few times, and he was always patient and understanding. I don’t know much about cars, and he took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions. Communication was great throughout. Would definitely recommend Adam to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.
