Got questions before booking? We’re here to help.
We understand that the used car market can move extremely quickly. Seller’s can be difficult for our team to organise an inspection with or worse, they may sell the vehicle to another buyer before allowing our Carinspect mechanic to inspect the vehicle. For this reason, we offer an outstanding refund policy for customers using our service. Carinspect offers a full refund (minus a 3% credit card fee) for inspection bookings that for any reason cannot go ahead. The following two exceptions apply:
- If the purchaser requires the inspection to be cancelled for any reason and the inspection time and date has already been set with the seller, Carinspect will retain a $60 administration fee whilst refunding you the balance of the booking.
- On the occasion that the Carinspect mechanic has already travelled to the seller’s location to complete the inspection and is unable to fulfil the service, Carinspect will retain a $150 cancellation fee whilst refunding you the balance of the booking.
We’re here to change the game for used car purchasers and bring full transparency to the buying process. Whether you’re looking for the convenience of a mobile inspection or the security of a hoisted workshop inspection, our network of fully qualified mechanics spans Australia-wide so that you can buy with confidence. With our own proprietary inspection software, we’ve partnered with GumtreeGroup so you’ll find our service readily available on over 20,000 new vehicle listings across Australia every week. We’re a service you can trust to ensure you are empowered to make the right used car purchasing decision.
We make this process as easy as it can be. Forget finding out when the seller may be free, only to find that you can’t find a mechanic that’s available in the right area at the right time. Scheduling can be a nightmare, that’s why we do it for you! Our online booking system will check the live availability of the area at time of booking. Just provide us with the details of your booking, process the payment, and then leave the rest to us. Our team will contact the seller of the vehicle and arrange the inspection with them directly. Depending on the vehicle location, we are almost always able to deliver you the report within 48 hours of your booking.
Workshop Inspections are completed at our fixed site partner workshops across the country. Here you’ll receive the benefit of a hoisted inspection in a workshop environment - perfect for a meticulous buyer. For these bookings, the seller of the vehicle must bring the vehicle to our local workshop service partner. The booking process is simple, once you have confirmed with the seller that they can bring the vehicle to our local partner workshop, just process your booking with us and we’ll handle the entire process with the seller. You’ll receive your report immediately after the inspection is completed together with a phone call from the mechanic.
Our mobile team will travel to where the vehicle is being sold. Whether it's a home, workplace, dealership or auction house, our mechanics will inspect the vehicle at the location most convenient to the seller. This service is great for busy sellers or vehicles that cannot meet us at one of our workshop locations across Australia. These inspections are subject to environmental constraints. Bad weather, steep driveways or undulating surfaces or poor lighting can affect inspection results. You’ll receive your report immediately after the inspection is completed together with a phone call from the mechanic.
Carinspect reports are clear and easy to read, to see a sample report, just click here. Car buyers use our reports to identify potential problems with a vehicle which in turn allows them the opportunity to either walk away from the purchase entirely or use our findings to negotiate a more competitive price. Either way, it’s a win for our customers.
We cannot guarantee inspections to take place on the weekend as this time is usually assigned to completing overflow work. Although there are some sellers who only have very specific times that a car can be available for inspection, please be aware that our team deals with this everyday and almost always finds a time that works for all parties - even if it means the seller not being with the vehicle whilst we inspect it.
What customers say about Carinspect.
Our coverage across Australia
Why we love to service the
Darwin
area
At Carinspect, we take pride in providing expert pre-purchase car inspections in Darwin, Northern Territory, as well as the surrounding areas of Humpty Doo and Palmerston. Our experienced mechanics are skilled at identifying potential issues and providing valuable insights, giving our clients the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their car purchases. Darwin is a vibrant city with a mix of urban and rural areas, providing a diverse range of driving conditions and car types to inspect. From the bustling streets of Palmerston to the peaceful roads of Humpty Doo, we relish the challenge that each inspection presents. Our goal is to assist clients in finding their ideal car, and we find it fulfilling to connect with new people in Darwin and its surrounding areas.
Carinspect offers reliable onsite car inspections in Darwin, Northern Territory. Our qualified mechanics conduct thorough inspections, provide detailed reports, and follow-up phone calls to help you make informed decisions when buying a used car.
Our qualified and accredited Darwin pre purchase car mechanics will get to you on time making the process easier when buying both locally and outside the state. Our vehicle inspections cover all car makes and models and specialise in many of the commonly bought and sold 4WD and adventure vehicles typically used in the outback of NT.
We find many buyers are unable to personally inspect vehicles prior to purchase in this part of the country which is where our two types of inspections are so important. We provide both Standard Car Inspections and Premium Car Inspections giving you two great options to get the car checked out depending on your needs. If you are one of those buyers purchasing from interstate without having viewed the vehicle yourself, or just a little more fastidious - our premium service provides additional checks and photos giving you that extra peace of mind.
We also service greater Darwin to Humpty Doo
If you’ve been lucky enough to make it to the northernmost tip of Australia and driven through the incredible sights of Kakadu National Park and the Katherine region, you’ll no doubt appreciate the rugged landscape and harsh terrain in this part of the world. Many vehicles in the Northern territory have been used as a workhorse in these parts and much care must be taken when selecting the right car to buy.
Our Darwin mechanics have grown up around these cars and identifying underlying issues and expensive fixes is what they do best. Many sellers try and hide these problems from prospective buyers and take advantage of those who do not engage an expert to view the vehicle prior to purchasing. As a company, our whole purpose is to ensure you know exactly what you’re buying and that you don’t drive away with a lemon that may cost you thousands of dollars.
We guarantee we will get to the vehicle within 48 hours of the booking so long as the seller makes it available to us. Once a comprehensive check has been done on the car you’ll receive in your email inbox a detailed report along with a full PPSR and CarHistory report. This is incredibly important as it details the history of the vehicle, whether the vehicle has been written off, has had the odometer rolled back, has encumbered financial interest or has been registered as a stolen vehicle.
Our Darwin pre-purchase inspections include in depth checks of the engine, interior, exterior, underbody, diagnostics and a thorough road test is undertaken. You'll receive a substantial number of photos of the car in addition to the checklist items.
Simply book online now and an accredited Darwin Carinspect mechanic will contact the seller directly to arrange a time for the vehicle to be inspected. You may wish to make yourself available by phone as soon as the inspection is complete so our expert mechanic can call you to discuss the ins and outs of the vehicle.
We look forward to being able to assist you in your car buying journey.
