Para Hills West SA 5096, Australia

I’m looking to purchase a used Mazda 2 2007and would like a qualified, experienced mechanic to carry out a thorough pre-purchase inspection before I decide whether to buy it. The car is located at the seller’s workshop/shop, so the mechanic will need to be able to travel to the vehicle and inspect it there. I’d like the inspection to include: Full engine inspection and general engine condition Check for oil, coolant and other fluid leaks Cooling system and signs of overheating Belts, hoses and engine mounts Transmission/gearbox and clutch operation Brakes, brake pads/discs and brake fluid Suspension and steering components Shocks, bushes, ball joints, tie rods and wheel bearings Tyres and wheels, including uneven wear Battery, alternator and electrical systems Lights, indicators, windows, wipers, air conditioning etc. Exhaust system Underbody inspection for leaks, rust, damage or previous repairs Check for signs of accident/structural damage OBD/diagnostic scan for any fault codes, if possible Road test to check the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, suspension, noises and overall drivability I’d also like a written report or clear summary of any issues found, including anything that is: Urgent/safety-related Likely to need repairs soon Normal wear and tear Potentially expensive I’m a first-time car buyer, so I’d really appreciate someone who can explain the findings clearly and honestly and let me know if there are any major concerns before I purchase the vehicle. Must be a qualified/professional mechanic with experience doing pre-purchase inspections. Please only offer if you can travel to the seller’s location of choice which is at a shop. Budget: $150-200 Location: Para Hills West, SA

Pre purchase inspection Engine and Mechanical Basics: Check fluid levels, condition (oil, coolant, brake fluid), engine mounts, belt wear, and any visible oil or coolant leaks. Diagnostic Scan: Connect an OBD-II diagnostic tool to check for any current, pending, or cleared fault codes. Transmission and Drivetrain: Check the 6-speed automatic gearbox for smooth shifting, no slipping, and proper fluid condition. Brakes and Tyres: Inspect brake pad thickness, rotor wear, tyre tread depth across all wheels, and confirm the condition of the two newly fitted Kumho tyres. Suspension and Steering: Inspect shock absorbers, bushings, control arms, and CV joints/boots for wear, leaks, or play. Underbody Check: Inspect the underside for rust, structural damage, or signs of past collision repair. Electronics and Features: Verify operation of the air conditioning, heater, power windows, central locking, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, and reversing sensors. Short Road Test: Conduct a brief drive to monitor engine response, brake performance, and steering alignment. Make a report of the vehicle for final verdict.

inspection, restart and safety check needed Hi, I have a Subaru Liberty that has been sitting unused for approximately 1 year.

I need help with: Checking the vehicle condition after sitting for a year Helping to safely start it (if possible) Checking essential fluids (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, etc.) Checking the battery and any obvious issues Advising what repairs or maintenance may be needed to make it safe and roadworthy again I’m looking for someone with good mechanical knowledge who can give me an honest assessment and advice on what needs to be done. Please feel free to offer your price, including any additional costs if parts or extra work are required.
Brilliant work, I would highly recommend Daniell to anyone that needs a hand with their car !

Buying a second-hand car on CarSales and want a mechanic or revhead to come take a look with me. 2016 Subaru Outback, I'm keen on the car but just want a second opinion as it hasn't been serviced since September last year. Seller seems legit but hasn't got a RWC for it as not necessary in SA. Don't need a really official report, just wanna know if you'd buy it. Especially because I'm hoping to buy it tomorrow and drive it to Melbourne on Sunday.
Highly recommend! Daniel was kind, honest, and went above and beyond for me. Would definitely use him again and recommend to anyone. Thanks Daniel 👍🏼
