EXCELLENT Based on 265 reviews Leeanne Dove2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Swoop mobile completed a pre-purchase car inspection for me. Booked paid and completed in under 4 hours on the same day requested. Their service is thorough and provided feedback to myself that enabled me to make a well informed decision regarding the purchase. Thank you to Luke who exceeded my expectations. D D2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke is an absolute professional and exceptional at what he does. He arrived right on time for the inspection and delivered a detailed, thorough report that gave me the confidence to negotiate $1k off the asking price. He went above and beyond by calling me personally to explain a few key points in the report, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend his services!

He was very helpful in answering my questions before and after the inspection. I was very pleased with the thorough work that he did on the car that I was interested in. Would definitely recommend if you need a car inspected around Newcastle. Thanks, Luke! Chris Brouwer2025-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke’s approach to our inspection was outstanding. His manner, communication and thoroughness gave us every confidence in our decisions around purchasing my son’s first car. A good, authentic bloke who knows his stuff! Can’t recommend him highly enough. If you need an inspection call Luke.

Gareth Woodham2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Luke from Swoop vehicle inspections from another mechanic who swore he was the only guy he would trust so I took his advice. We’re from Sydney and buying a car in Raymond Terrace sight unseen. After one call Luke had booked in the inspection and 24 hours later we had a very detailed report with a great explanation of all issues. Long story short, we got everything fixed on the car by the seller and an additional $1,000 discount! Thank you Luke! Rob Campbell2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
