 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke from Swoop was fantastic. He really swooped in and gave the vehicle a thorough inspection, picking up an issue with the 4WD system that could easily have been missed. What impressed me most was that Luke followed up afterwards to make sure the issue was properly resolved and was happy to go back and recheck the vehicle. Great communication, knowledgeable, thorough and genuinely looking after the buyer. Five-star service and I’d definitely use Swoop again.

The communication, the ease of booking and speed to inspect leave me incredibly impressed.

The quick phone call to talk through key points, followed by a detailed report equipped with 100+ photos. I really can’t fault their service.

I’ll be recommending and using Luke and Swoop moving forward.

I was looking to purchase a MG B GT 1967 model in the Lakelands area NSW.
I engaged Swoop Car Inspections after a Google search.
The inspection which was done was awesome, it was done in a manner which covered everything. The report covered all I needed to know in words and pictures- yes I purchased the car. The follow up phone call with Luke the head Swooper was great. Excellent service.
