Pre-Purchase Inspection FAQs

 

What if the seller won’t allow an inspection?

Major red flag. Honest sellers in Logan, Ipswich, or Gold Coast welcome inspections. We recommend walking away from any vehicle where inspection is refused. There are plenty of other cars available.

 

Can you inspect cars at dealerships?

Yes, we inspect at dealerships throughout Logan, including Car City Logan, Springwood dealers, and Ipswich Motor Mall. Most dealers are cooperative as they have nothing to hide.

 

How much can I save with your inspection?

Our Logan customers save an average of $2,000-3,000 either through price negotiations or avoiding problematic vehicles. One inspection prevented a $8,000 engine replacement on a vehicle in Crestmead.

 

Do you check for flood damage?

Absolutely essential in Logan and Ipswich areas. We check carpets, seat rails, electrical components, and hidden areas for water damage signs. This is particularly important after Queensland flooding events.

 

What happens if you find major problems?

We provide detailed findings with repair cost estimates. You can negotiate price reduction, request seller fix issues, or walk away. We’ve helped Logan buyers avoid vehicles with hidden damage worth thousands.

 

Can you inspect on weekends?

Yes, weekends are our busiest times for pre-purchase inspections across Logan, Ipswich, and Gold Coast. Many private sales happen on weekends, and we’re available 7 days.
