We make the process as easy as possible. Sit back while we inspect every nook and cranny of the car and send a report your way within hours of inspecting.
Our experienced mechanics help you make an informed decision ahead of a car purchase and can even dish out details that might help you negotiate a better deal on the vehicle.
Whether you’re not quite sure if you want to lock-in to a car you’ve had your eye on or simply can’t get to it to inspect the car yourself, we’ve got you covered.
Our pre-purchase vehicle inspections are tailored to a variety of vehicle types.
We don’t sugarcoat or downplay a fault in a vehicle – you can rely on us to provide a thorough inspection and report everything so you can make an informed decision on the car.
We take a lot of pride in delivering a service which is friendly, fast and reliable. At the end of the day, we want you to hit the road without a hitch thanks to our vehicle inspections!
First things first, you want to be confident in your purchase. After all, no one wants to buy a lemon! Book a pre-purchase vehicle inspection in with us to confirm the condition of the vehicle is up to scratch.
You will need to provide us with a few details about the car and we will work with the seller to schedule in a time for the inspection.
Once the date is confirmed, our expert mechanics swoop in to thoroughly check the vehicle.
Plus, we will keep you in the loop throughout the entire process via SMS updates.
Within hours, our team will provide you with a comprehensive report of the car that will help you make an informed decision.
Rest assured, your vehicle inspection with us is thorough, and for good reason. Our team of experienced mechanics follow a comprehensive checklist, leaving no stone unturned.
Here’s a run down on what we look at – if you’d prefer to play on and leave the car speak to us, head on over and get yourself booked in.
We typically start with checking the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system which will tell us if there are any underlying electrical faults. Heads up – only cars built from the year 2000 onwards can have fault codes checked with our specialised OBD Diagnostic Computer.
Our mechanic will then jack the vehicle off the ground to inspect the engine, transmission, differential, brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, and the entire underbody of the vehicle. We’ll be on the lookout for oil leaks, excessive wear and tear, corrosion, accident, or even water damage.
Then we will dive into the engine bay and auxiliary systems – those that support the main engine’s function, including the fuel, cooling, charging, exhaust, and ignition. We’ll even peek at the turbocharging system if there’s one onboard. All of this contributes to the performance, operation, and efficiency of the vehicle.
Next up, your Swoop mechanic checks the exterior and interior of the vehicle. We’ll inspect and report on paint condition, front and rear lights, wheels and tires, bumpers, trims, and even the front and rear windscreens.
Once inside the vehicle, almost every electrical function, dial switch, and button will be tested, including power windows, mirrors, seats, sunroof, and air conditioning.
The boot, stowage areas, and general condition of the seats, dashboard, door trims, and roof lining will all be checked and included in your report. Even the spare key and fuel flap won’t be overlooked during your Swoop Vehicle Inspection.
Inspections vary across different vehicle types. Check out our inspection inclusions specific to your vehicle here.
