Sydney Mobile Car Inspections is a Sydney platform that connects used-car buyers with a vetted network of independent local mechanics for mobile pre purchase inspections. It is the simplest way to get an expert eye over a car before you buy: book in minutes instead of ringing around for quotes, and a trusted local inspector comes to the vehicle - anywhere in Western Sydney, seven days a week. We set the checklist, the standard and the reporting, so every inspection is consistent, genuinely independent, and on your side - never the seller's.
No dealer affiliations, no commissions. We work solely for you, the buyer.
No jargon. Every inspection ends with a 10-minute call so you understand exactly what's right and wrong with the car; add a written report with photos for $400.
Dealer yard, private driveway, or street - we travel to any Sydney suburb.
Weekends included. Priority bookings, within 48 hours or after-hours, carry a $50 surcharge.
Buying a used car is one of the biggest purchases most people make. A $300 inspection can save you from a $15,000 mistake.
Hidden issues - oil leaks, worn transmission, accident damage, rust - are rarely obvious to an untrained eye. A professional inspection gives you the facts before you sign anything.
Whether you're buying from a private seller, a dealer, or a marketplace listing, an independent inspection puts you in control of the negotiation.

Mobile pre purchase inspections across Western Sydney and the surrounding areas. We come to the vehicle, wherever it is.
We inspect the car on your behalf and keep you informed at every step - whether you come along or leave it to us.
Meet our inspector at the car, watch the checks first-hand and ask questions on the spot. When you attend, we arrange complimentary pick-up and drop-off within 5km of the seller's location. In some cases our inspector may be arriving from another site nearby - let us know and we may be able to organise pick-up from a little further as well.
Can't be there? We carry out the full inspection for you, then call you with the findings - and your written report if included - within 2 hours of finishing. You never have to take the seller's word for it.
Call & explain. Give us the seller's location and the car's make, year and registration number.
Pay & PPSR. Payment confirms your slot; your free PPSR report arrives within 2 business days of payment.
Pick a time window. Choose 8am-12pm, 12pm-4pm or 4pm-8pm - a window, not a fixed time.
On the day. Your inspector calls the authorised person or vendor about 20 minutes before arriving. Attending? We collect you (within 5km).
Get your results. A clear verbal summary, plus your written report within 2 hours if you chose the Gold Inspection.
It rarely happens - most inspections run exactly to plan. But if we can't reach your nominated contact, we don't simply leave. Your inspector makes three touchpoints across about 35 minutes: a call around 20 minutes before arrival, a call and text on arrival, and one more call after waiting 15 minutes. If there is still no answer, your inspector rings you personally to agree the next steps - your booking is never wasted.
Standard bookings are made ahead of time, within our hours of 8am to 8pm. A priority booking - within 48 hours, or before 8am or after 8pm - carries a $50 surcharge.
Every inspection includes a free PPSR report - finance owing, write-off and stolen status - sent within 2 business days of payment.
Sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, SUVs, 4WDs, AWDs, utes, vans, people movers, coupes and convertibles. We do not inspect motorbikes or trucks.
These vehicles take longer and need extra expertise, so they attract a $100 surcharge. As a guide:
Not sure which applies to your car? Tell us the make, model and year when you call and we'll confirm any surcharge up front - no surprises.
A used car is one of the biggest purchases you'll make, and the seller isn't on your side. An independent inspection, a free PPSR check and a plain-language walk-through of the findings put the facts in your hands before you sign anything or hand over a deposit.
Book an inspectionThe fastest way to arrange an inspection is to call with the suburb the car is in, the make and model, and when you'd like us there.
