A Sydney pre purchase inspection service delivered by a vetted network of independent local mechanics. We work for buyers - nobody else.
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. Think of it as the simplest way to get an expert eye over any 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 don't swing the torch ourselves. What we provide is the structure: one consistent inspection process, the same checklist, and the same clear reporting on every job. That means you get a local expert who knows the area, backed by a standard you can rely on - and an assessment that is genuinely independent and on your side, never the seller's.
Every inspector in the network is 100% independent, with no ties to dealers, auction houses, finance brokers, or sellers of any kind. What you hear back reflects the actual condition of the car - nothing more, nothing less.
We focus on cars only, right across Western Sydney - Japanese, European, SUVs, utes, and family vehicles. Whether you're buying from a private seller, a car yard, or an online listing, we give you the honest picture before you sign anything.
No commissions, no dealer relationships. We answer only to you.
Real workshop experience, working to one consistent standard across Sydney.
A 10-minute call on every job; add a written report with photos for $400.
Weekends included, with bookings arranged within 48 hours to fit around the buying process.
From private sales to dealership vehicles and marketplace purchases - we inspect them all, across all of Sydney.
Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Lexus - with model-specific checks.

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.
