Auction cars are sold as-is, often with limited access and a tight inspection window before bidding opens — exactly the conditions where hidden faults get missed.
We can inspect a vehicle ahead of auction day wherever access allows, giving you a real mechanical picture instead of bidding on photos and a description alone.
Every inspection covers this, in full
We don't run a cut-down version depending on the situation — every vehicle gets the complete forensic process.
Pre-Start Diagnostic Scan
Fault codes across the ECM, TCM, PCM and BCM, odometer cross-verification against other modules, and a full battery health check before the engine even turns over.
Thermal Camera Inspection
A tool most inspectors skip. We read heat distribution across the radiator, hoses and engine block to catch blockages and internal collapses before they become catastrophic.
Live Data Analysis
Sensor performance, misfire history per cylinder, transmission oil temperature and torque converter behaviour, past overheating events, plus DPF, EGR, boost and hybrid battery checks where applicable.
Physical & Mechanical Check
Suspension and steering components, engine and transmission mounts, every fluid, engine noise, leak points, brake pad and disc condition, and tyre wear patterns.
Advanced On-Road Test Drive
A set route across city streets, bumps and highway speed with the diagnostic computer still connected, watching shift quality, boost response and chassis feedback in real time.
Our simple 5-step process
Contact us with the details
The seller's contact number, your name and email, and the car's registration.
We verify and organise
We cross-check our records, contact the seller, arrange the time and place, and confirm your booking.
The inspection
Our inspector arrives on time at the car's location. You're welcome to attend and ask questions in person.
The verdict
If you're there, we walk you through it on the spot. If not, you'll have a full written report — photos, videos and findings — by that evening.
You decide, with confidence
Buy with the full picture, negotiate on real findings, or walk away — it's your call, backed by the facts.
What does it cost?
Price depends on the vehicle's complexity, the distance our inspector travels to reach the car, and the fact that we only offer one level of service — comprehensive.
One thorough, forensic inspection. No stripped-down "budget" tier that gives you false confidence.
Common questions
How long does an inspection take?+
Most inspections take 45 to 75 minutes on site, depending on the vehicle. A written report follows the same day in most cases.
Do I need to be there?+
No, though you're welcome to attend and ask questions in person. If you can't make it, we walk you through the findings by phone and send a full written report.
What areas do you cover?+
We're mobile across Greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains and parts of the Illawarra. Call to confirm coverage for your exact location.
