About Us

We are a Family Owned Mobile Car Inspection business located on the Central Coast of NSW. Our qualified mechanic & inspection expert evaluates all aspects of the vehicle using automotive and mechanical experience acquired over 44 years. We aim to help everyone from first car buyers to commercial businesses make the right choice, save money and avoid the financial burden of costly repairs with their next car purchase.

We know how hard it can be to get a good deal on a vehicle—and how easy it is to get taken advantage of. The last thing anyone should need is a tow truck home or a laundry list of repairs after purchasing a new or used car.

Put actionable expert knowledge into your hands so you can avoid making a regrettable, costly car purchase.
