Service Area

We Cover Western Sydney

We refer across Western Sydney and the surrounding areas. Our local mechanics come to the vehicle, wherever it is.

How It Works

How It Works, Start to Finish

Our local mechanic inspects the car and keeps you informed at every step - whether you come along or leave it to them.

Two ways to inspect

You meet the mechanic there

Turn up at the car, watch the checks first-hand and ask questions on the spot. Tell us in your request that you want to attend and the mechanic will work around you when they agree a time.

They inspect on your behalf

Can't be there? The mechanic carries out the full inspection for you, then calls you with the findings once they have finished. You never have to take the seller's word for it.

From booking to results

1

Tell us about the car. The make, year and the suburb it is in, plus anything you are worried about.

2

We alert local mechanics. Your details go to our local mechanics who cover that council.

3

They call you. The mechanic quotes their price and agrees a time window with you directly.

4

On the day. They ring the seller about 20 minutes before arriving, then inspect the car on site.

5

Get the results. A clear verbal summary, plus a written report if you asked for the Comprehensive Inspection.

What if the vendor doesn't pick up?

It rarely happens - most inspections run exactly to plan. But if we can't reach your nominated contact, we don't simply leave. The mechanic 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, the mechanic rings you personally to agree the next steps - your booking is never wasted.

Standard & urgent inspections

Most are arranged a few days ahead, inside 8am to 8pm. Need it sooner, or outside those hours? Say so in your request and we will flag it to the mechanics.

Every mechanic is checked

We verify ABN and licence before a local mechanic joins the network, and we only refer independents with no dealer ties.

Cars only

Sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, SUVs, 4WDs, AWDs, utes, vans, people movers, coupes and convertibles. Not motorbikes or trucks.

Classic, luxury & exotic cars

These take longer and need extra expertise, so we match them with one of our local mechanics who knows the marque. Expect the quote to reflect that. As a guide:

  • Classic - generally 30 years or older, or a recognised collectible.
  • Luxury - premium marques such as higher-end Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Land Rover, Jaguar or Porsche.
  • Exotic - supercars and rare high-performance models such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Maserati, Aston Martin or Bentley.

Not sure which applies to your car? Put the make, model and year in your request and the mechanic will confirm everything in their quote - no surprises.

Minimise the risk of buying a second-hand vehicle

A used car is one of the biggest purchases you'll make, and the seller isn't on your side. An independent mechanic going over the car, and a plain-language walk-through of what they found, put the facts in your hands before you sign anything or hand over a deposit.
