Pre-purchase inspections in Wynnum
Know what you are buying before you hand over the money.
Buying a used car privately or from a yard? Bring it in, or ask the seller to, and we'll go over it on the hoist: engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, steering, leaks, rust and electrics, plus a road test.
You'll get an honest rundown of what's good, what's tired and what it will cost to put right, so you can buy with confidence, negotiate, or walk away.

Questions
Pre-purchase inspections: the common questions.
Something else on your mind? Call us on 07 3348 4111 and ask. We're happy to talk it through.
Is this the same as a safety certificate?
No. A safety certificate is the Queensland roadworthy, issued by an approved inspection station. A pre-purchase inspection is a broader health check for you as the buyer.
Can the seller bring the car to you?
Yes. Call us to book a time and we'll look it over while it's here.
What if you find problems?
We'll tell you what they are and roughly what they'll cost, so you can negotiate or walk away.
