Why is it better to get a Pre-Purchase Inspection Nobody wants to shop for a replacement car only to seek out that it's hiding something below the surface, making it un-roadworthy, worth much less at resale, or perhaps need a direct repair. Unfortunately, many cars on the road are hiding something, and it’s essential to be vigilant when purchasing a vehicle. Pre-Purchase Car Inspections When people get a car they're looking to shop for inspected, they often specialise in the mechanics of the car, getting the engine, transmission etc. tried. While this is often certainly a decent idea, they often overlook the body and chassis of the vehicle, which may be even more problematic counting on what’s happened to the car. Incorrectly done chassis, panel and body repairs can cause a variety of problems, from making the vehicle worth less at resale if the bad repair is picked up, to creating the car unsafe in an accident leading to death or injury. The keen eye can often see panel repairs that aren't done correctly, but whether or not they're not immediately picked up, eventually, they're going to show. Usually, this happens when the paintwork starts to crumble prematurely and exposes the actual fact that the repair has been done to a poor standard. This can make the car worth significantly less for resale, and you’ll be driving around in an exceeding vehicle that appears like it’s falling apart. On the intense end of the dimensions, shoddy body and chassis repairs can make a car extremely unsafe since the vehicle won’t perform as designed in an accident. You and your passengers could find yourself injured or worse. Instances of this might be rust in structural areas that have not been repaired but have just been covered up, incorrect repair procedures, repairs on cars that otherwise shouldn't be repaired in any respect and then on. This is why it's extremely important to induce a pre-purchase car inspection if you're looking to shop for a car and ensure that the mechanicals are verified, and so is the vehicle's chassis.

Great Service and a very detailed report. Also very flexible with arranging with the seller. Thanks to this report i didn't buy a car with hidden issues! I will certainly use them again. Cheers!

Hi Jason
Yes, having the seller present at the time of the inspection made the process longer. However, the issues were pointed out to the seller as well as to you.
Yes, the vehicle did possess gremlins, something a potential buyer should be well aware of.
Thank you for using our services
The Vehicle Doctor has provided me with excellent prompt service and has been clear and transparent about the process. Will recommend to anyone who needs to have their vehicles assessed and reports performed professionally.

Thank You Shannen, it was a pleasure to assist you with your vehicle. I hope all went well with your case.
Dimitri did an excellent job with the pre-purchase inspection. He produced an easy to follow report in a very timely manner and was able to tell me what over the telephone what the issues were.
He is very thorough, knowledgeable and experienced. His service is well priced and very good value in today's market.
Do yourself a favour and speak to Dimitri about how he can help you.

Thank you, Rob, it was a pleasure discussing and addressing your concerns.
Hey Dimitrios
I’ve just checked into see all the photos and inspection results. I can’t thank you enough for the extreme thoroughness of this report/photos… This is seriously class leading service you have delivered today and I’m 100% confident in the vehicle I’m going to purchase sight unseen from N.S.W. To SA
I’ve been a mechanic for over 20 years and this is something to be admired what you have done from what many would see as a simple task to “just check a car out”
Well done and I’m wishing you all the best for the future as this type of service needs to be promoted. Again thank you 🙏

Thank you, Aaron; as you already know, there are multiple businesses that conduct Pre-purchase inspections. However, they don't take their time to inspect the vehicle correctly. I have been in this industry for over 28 years, worked in various roles and have seen and read these reports, which are basic inspection reports and do not report on the actual condition of the vehicle.
Once again, thank you for your review.
