Good to know
The inspection happens wherever the car is: a dealer’s yard, a private seller’s driveway or a car park. The seller just needs to allow it.
Busy during business hours? Inspections are available after hours and at short notice, which is often when a private sale happens.
Common questions
Do you really come to me?
Yes. Autocheck WA is a mobile mechanic. The tools, the scan gear and the parts travel in the van to your home, your workplace, a car park or a worksite. You do not drop the car anywhere.
Can everything be fixed on the spot?
Most servicing, brake, battery and diagnostic work is finished in the one visit. If a part has to be ordered, you hear the options before anything happens and the mechanic comes back to fit it at a time that suits you.
