FAQs
Find answers to common questions about inspections, maintenance and what to expect before buying a vehicle.
What routine maintenance is required for a car?
Routine car maintenance includes periodic servicing such as oil changes, brake inspections, tyre checks and fluid top-ups. Following a maintenance schedule helps ensure your vehicle remains reliable and safe. Even before buying, reviewing service history can indicate how well the car has been maintained.
What should I consider before I buy a used car?
When you buy a used car, it is important to assess its condition, service history and any potential issues. A professional pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle helps identify hidden faults and allows you to proceed with confidence, whether buying from a dealer or purchasing a car privately.
How does a used car inspection service give me peace of mind?
A pre-purchase inspection allows you to inspect the vehicle beyond a visual check. A thorough mechanical inspection identifies hidden issues, confirms the vehicle’s condition and provides peace of mind so you can buy a car with confidence.
What do mechanical inspection services include?
Mechanical inspection services include a detailed assessment of the engine, transmission, suspension and key systems. This pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle helps uncover faults, assess wear and ensure you understand the true condition before making a purchase decision.
Is a pre-purchase car inspection important when buying privately?
Yes. When buying a car privately, you may not have the same assurances as when purchasing from a dealer. A pre-purchase inspection ensures the vehicle is thoroughly checked, helping you avoid unexpected issues and proceed with greater confidence.
