Swoop Lite is fast, affordable, and purely mechanical, cutting straight to the essentials without the extras.
Think the car looks fine? Maybe you’ve already taken it for a spin, checked the logbook, and had a good poke around. But what about the stuff you can’t see?
Swoop Lite is designed for buyers who’ve already laid eyes on the car and just want a qualified mechanic to check the things that matter most — engine, brakes, steering, suspension, transmission, and what shows up on the scan tool.
It’s ideal if you’re confident in the vehicle’s condition but want peace of mind that it drives well, stops safely, and doesn’t have hidden mechanical faults waiting to cost you later.
Fast, affordable, and purely mechanical — Swoop Lite cuts through the clutter so you can make a smarter call without paying for a full inspection you don’t need.
Already checked the car yourself — but not sure what’s happening under the bonnet?
Even if a used car looks fine on the surface, hidden mechanical issues can cost you big. Without the right tools or training, it’s hard to know what to look for — and sellers aren’t always upfront.
That’s where Swoop Lite comes in.
Our qualified mobile mechanics provide a fast, affordable mechanical inspection so you can make a confident decision when buying a second-hand vehicle.
Swoop Lite focuses purely on the mechanical health of the car — with a simplified report that clearly outlines any faults, backed by photos, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before you buy.
Once you’ve found a car you’re happy with, our qualified mobile mechanics swoop in to check its mechanical health and help you buy with confidence. Swoop Lite follows a focused mechanical inspection checklist, including:
Steering systems function and condition
