Booking a mobile pre-purchase car inspection gives you peace of mind when buying a used vehicle. Qualified motor mechanic Craig Jones travels to the seller’s location and carries out a comprehensive vehicle inspection, checking for mechanical issues, safety concerns, and signs of past damage. This convenient service helps you make an informed decision and avoid costly surprises, ensuring you don’t buy a lemon. Whether you’re buying from a dealer or a private seller, a used car inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make.

A pre-purchase car inspection includes a thorough assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical condition, safety features, bodywork, engine performance, brakes, tyres, suspension, and more. Craig also checks for signs of previous accidents or repairs. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with photos, giving you a complete picture before committing to the purchase.

Yes. After Craig sends you the comprehensive inspection reports and vehicle images, you will then get an over-the-phone report at a time that’s convenient for you. He will give you an unbiased opinion of the vehicle’s condition and whether the seller has put back what they have taken by routine servicing of the vehicle and regular replacement of periodic service items.

You will also know what future servicing or repairs need to be done, including any costs that you may be up for if you decide to purchase the vehicle. This also gives you a powerful negotiating tool to save money! The verbal pre-purchase inspection report “talks your language”, so you will always understand.
