Blacktown NSW 2148, Australia

28th Oct 2026

Hi, I’d love to get a quote from you for a mobile pre-purchase vehicle inspection. The car is a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander (203,000 km) located near Blacktown. The seller mentioned the driver's window is out of its guide rail and tail light is chipped, so I'd appreciate it if you could specifically check whether it just needs realigning or if it requires a completely new window regulator/motor and approx cost. I also need a thorough check on the CVT transmission during the road test or any fault codes. Could you let me know your quote for this and what your availability looks like today or tomorrow? Thank you!
