Your car can pass a Safety Certificate Inspection and still have servicing issues.<\/p>

A great example of this is when there is an oil leak that is not dripping onto the road surface or the exhaust.<\/p>

For a Safety Certificate, this would pass.<\/p>

However, a Pre-Purchase Inspection will not only tell you that the oil leak is there but also where it is coming from.<\/p>

Some oil leak repairs can be dramatically more expensive than others.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The fully qualified mechanic will give you both a verbal and written report on the condition of the vehicle.<\/p>

This allows you to ask further questions and discuss the findings.<\/p>

The mechanic will check over the vehicle completely and with a checklist make notes on each section of the vehicle.<\/p>

A road test is carried out as well.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not to worry, the mechanic can give you a call and give you the report over the phone.<\/p>

A written report is sent through via email for your records.<\/p>

Absolutely.<\/p>

You can use this information to negotiate with the seller.<\/p>

Not only the sale price to compensate for required repairs but also if they will have the repairs completed before the sale.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Each inspection may vary but typically we say to allow approx. 1 hour.<\/p>
