What is
Pre Purchase
Car Inspection ?
A pre-purchase car inspection is a comprehensive check on a second-hand car that’s being sold by either a dealership or a private seller. It’s investing in the services of a qualified Mechanic or Car Inspector, to come to the location of the car and complete a comprehensive check before you buy. The inspector will put the seller’s car through a comprehensive series of tests with industry-standard equipment and tools to ensure you, as a buyer, are not making a purchasing decision you may later regret.

What Makes A
Good Car Inspector?
A good car inspector will consider themselves not only a Mechanic but a private investigator. When we arrive at the car, every inch of the vehicle should be examined with a fine-tooth comb to ensure all potential issues are detected. You as a seller are trusting in the expertise of an Inspector to make sure you’re making the right purchasing decision. Here at GPS Vehicle Inspections, our Inspectors are constantly working to answer these types of questions:
- Is this car really safe enough to drive for my customer and their families?
- Could this car potentially break down on a freeway or motorway in the future?
- Is there any unseen damage present on the car?
- Will my customer be out of pocket in repair fees should they decide to purchase the car?
- Is the seller the rightful owner? Is there any outstanding finance on the car?
- Has the car been tampered with in any way? For example, has there been any odometer rollback?
- If the car is in reasonable condition but still needs a few repairs, how much will that roughly cost my customer in the future?
- Will my customer be up for thousands of dollars in service fees in the future after purchasing?
The goal of us as Car Inspectors is to adequately answer these questions for our customers and compile every detectable fault or issue with your car into an easy to understand report. When it comes to the report, not everyone is an expert mechanic which is something other pre-purchase inspectors sometimes forget. That’s why it’s important to make sure the reports are easy to understand.
Secondly, a good vehicle inspector will tell you what the damage is. However, the best pre-purchase vehicle inspector will tell you what the damage means to you. For example:
Good vehicle inspector: The front right shock is heavily damaged
A great pre-purchase car inspector: The front right shock is heavily damaged and beyond repair, you will need to get a replacement.
The difference between the two is that the best vehicle inspector explains what that means for you. Now you can quickly research what the going rate for a front shock replacement will be, how much it will cost to get a new one installed, and most importantly, factor that into the cost should you decide to still make the seller an offer.

It’s an in-depth, comprehensive breakdown of what our Inspectors look for when completing their pre-purchase car inspections.

I live in Perth and needed someone to look over a 2017 GLE63S in Sydney. I rang a few places and found GPS Vehicle inspections to be competitive on price, fit the inspection in within a day or two of me calling and found the report to be very detailed and the communication was 10/10! Extremely happy with the service and I would 100% recommend. Give George a call if you need an inspection carried out by technicians you can trust.
Thoroughly recommend the team at GPS to anyone. Both the seller and I were impressed with the boys’ professionalism and thorough job. Best experience buying a used car I’ve ever had, wouldn’t hesitate to use George and the team again.
Inspection was so much more than I expected .... detail put into report videos etc was second too none.. follow up phone call straight after inspection was professional and mechanical advice given was exceptional... don't go past this company and after this type of service I will never buy a car without an inspection again!!
George did a pre purchase inspection on a car I was looking at in katoomba and did an amazing job. It needed to be inspected quickly and George contacted the seller straight away and fit us in. He did a very thorough inspection with recommendations that were rectified by the seller enabling a good purchase. Straight after the inspection he even called to discuss the car and sent the report later the same day. I live pretty far from the car so I couldn’t go see it and the report was if I was there myself. Thank you GPS.
Absolutely incredible. Loved working with this group. Incredibly professional and down to earth. Made things super easy by contacting the dealer directly rather than myself being the middle man yet made sure I was informed for every step. They are incredibly detailed in their work and very nice about any sudden changes. Gives really great suggestions and inspections at the highest quality. Will use again for the future and I cannot suggest enough how badly others should use this company.
Couldn’t recommend George and his team enough. After being mucked around by NRMA for a week after paying them and still not getting the inspection. I called George on a Saturday and he answered and had the inspection booked in on Monday. Also sent me helpful links on imported vehicles.The mechanic (Michael) called me straight after the inspection and gave me a thorough verbal report and his opinion.I was very close to buying this car sight unseen after being kicked around by the others but looks like my $300 spent with GPS saved me thousands and lots of headaches with a car that had many issues.Thanks again George and Michael.
George is a great guy and was very quick to contact the seller to get the inspection ASAP. Provided an in-depth report with high res photos and videos, tests and a summary. Called me right after the inspection was finished to talk about important points. I am incredibly surprised at how time-efficient the whole process was, I ordered the inspection, received the inspection and the report all in one day! I live far away from where the car was being sold, so I could not inspect for myself and George did the perfect job in inspecting all aspects of the car. I was given peace of mind that I was making the right decision and can buy my car without looking back or any surprises. Will definitely use again in the future, and will also recommend to others. Very glad I chose GPS vehicle inspections over other services and could not be happier.Cheers
This is a great service. The communication was great and very clear. The report itself was very thorough. Lots of photos and video. I received a call as soon as the inspection was finished to go over the key points of the report and the written report was emailed to me 4 or 5 hours after the inspection was done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company or use them again.
Extremely happy with the quick service for my inspection the guy was extremely helpful & definitely made me feel more at ease with purchasing this car.His name is George & I would fully recommend him to anyone wanting Peace of mind before they purchase their car.Thanks 🙏 so much
Very great service and gave me a full detailed report on email the next day, very pleased with the service from this company
This is my first time using a service like this but I found George very thorough. I was amazed at the extent of effort and time that he put into the inspection and he also kept in touch throughout the whole ordeal.George was that thorough that he had detected a fair few issues that as a result stopped me from buying the car and saved me a lot of money in repair bills.It’s a buyer beware world out there and you definitely need someone like George..👍
Need your car inspected ? George is the man 👨 He does a thorough inspection and provide a detailed report with more than 150 photos or so. The best in Sydney for all pre purchase inspection service.
George is a highly experienced mechanic who inspects places where no one would ever think to look. From start to finish, George maintained strong communication cadence and was transparent with any findings about the vehicle. The price to pay is so small for peace of mind and the cost savings George can give you down the line.
