The Value of Getting a Car Inspected Before You Buy
Used cars often come with a history that’s not obvious at first glance—accident damage, overdue servicing, worn-out components, or neglected maintenance. A proper inspection brings these issues to light before you hand over your cash. It can also give you leverage in negotiations or the confidence to walk away if needed.
A pre-purchase inspection protects both first-time buyers and experienced drivers from making costly mistakes. Mechanics not only identify mechanical problems, but also assess roadworthiness, safety, and compliance with Australian standards. With ACT Mobile Mechanics, the entire process is mobile, convenient, and fast. You pick the car, we come to you. It’s one of the smartest moves you can make when buying a vehicle in Canberra.
