A Kick The Tyres vehicle inspection should be your second step when buying a car. The first one? Find the car you like!
A Kick The Tyres pre-purchase vehicle inspection is a comprehensive inspection and report on the condition of the vehicle both mechanically and cosmetically. We inspect from under the bonnet, to under the car, to in the boot, to what’s in the service records. And that’s before we start on the condition of the car’s body condition, paint, and interior! Finally, we road test the car because that’s where it really counts… out on the road.
Whether the car is in another town and not convenient for you to view, or you just want the peace of mind that comes with having one of our trained inspectors cast an expert eye over your prospective purchase we’re only one click or call away.
Inspections start from only $199 – Buying a bad car can cost $1,000’s!
