A real pro Davina Park2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so glad I followed the 4 star reviews of customers before me and booked my Swoop pre-purchase inspection. The process was so easy, all the logistics handled by Swoop, and Luke was a dream to deal with, going the extra mile and taking the time to explain a few small issues he found clearly, and patiently. I couldn’t fault the process, and we negotiated the price, and bought the vehicle with confidence. Thanks Luke!! Oscar Neppl2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a pre purchase inspection conducted by luke from swoop. I was able to get the vehicle inspected on a short notice, luke was thorough with his inspection, left a detailed report, and walked me through the issues presented over the phone in an easy to understand manner. The inspection brought to my attention some issues with the vehicle that I was unaware of and because of that I was able to get the dealer to fix those issues before completing the sale, saving me time, money and hassle of getting it fixed myself. The service was excellent and very fairly priced, it has saved me money in the long term, I would use their services again when purchasing a vehicle and would recommend them to every one. Christal Partridge2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't highly recommend Luke and his team highly enough. Fantastic communication, very knowledgeable, trustworthy and the customer service was second to none! The inspection report was extremely detailed plus lots of photo's!! Thanks to Luke we were spared buying a lemon. We were looking for a first car for our daughter to learn to drive in and the salesman knew this and wasn't honest with us. Thankfully we chose our own inspection team and not one that the salesman recommended! This car more than likely would have cost an few extra thousand dollars to repair. Being interstate we couldn't go and see the car in person ourselves. Always grateful and would use Swoop Mobile Pre-Purchase Car Inspections again in a heartbeat!! Lachie Jones2025-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great service. Inspection occurred the next day from booking, and Luke was fantastic at talking the report through after completion. Very efficient and professional. Girish Ravi2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my car inspected by Luke at Swoop Vehicle Inspections and the quality of service was exemplary. Luke was very thorough and kept contact with me over several days in comparing the different possible vehicle options and alternatives that I presented him with. His inspection report while not only at a great price also provided a thorough examination of the vehicle and all its parts in exquisite detail, he is very knowledgeable! Luke truly went above and beyond in providing the ultimate quality service in order for me to make a better informed purchasing decision. I would definitely recommend Swoop to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy mechanic!
