Pre-purchase inspection detailsTell us what
you have noticed.
When does it happen? Cold starts, braking, turning, bumps or a particular driving condition can all help describe the request. Include recent repairs and previous reports.
- Tell us the exact warning message, if there is one
- Share the year, make, model and engine details
- State whether the vehicle can currently be driven
- Bring existing estimates or diagnostic findings
Understand the scope
Is a code scan the same as a complete diagnosis?
No. Stored codes are a useful starting point, but further checks may be needed to establish the cause. Our code scan and diagnostic quote guide explains what to ask about the scope and any additional tests.
Will routine maintenance fix a warning or fault?
Not automatically. An oil or fluid service has a maintenance purpose; a warning or abnormal symptom may need separate assessment. Review preventive maintenance details and mention the issue before arranging routine service.
Can I compare a repair estimate with you?
Send the estimate and vehicle details. Compare the actual parts and labour scope rather than the total alone. The vehicle’s condition may still need assessment.
What if braking, steering or engine temperature changes suddenly?
Stop safely and follow the vehicle’s warning guidance. Arrange professional assistance when the vehicle cannot be operated safely rather than continuing toward a service appointment.
