Saving myself from a potential financial crisis. What I thought were minor issues turned out to be something that might cost me more. Wouldn't know without the expert inspection. Thanks a lot!

Overpriced and lacking in-depth
Overpriced and lacking in-depth, under-the-hood, mechanical analysis especially involving concealed parts.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for leaving a review of our inspection service!
We do advise that during our inspections we do not remove any parts from the vehicle during the check which does mean that if components are buried in the engine bay that we may not be able to access and assess.
For this reason we do highly encourage everyone to both check the sample reports on our website, and to read through the exclusions to ensure the service is fit for your purposes.
Kind Regards,
The Redbook Inspect Team.
Not worth it
A lot of details, but nothing that really mattered. What I wanted to know, I didn't get. I would rather get my own mechanic in the future.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for leaving a review of our inspection service!
We are always looking to assess and review our inspection processes and all feedback is welcome. Are you able to advise the specific area you wanted more information on?
Being a mobile service we are limited in what can be checked during inspection so there are times when a workshop inspection may be more beneficial in the case that parts require removal.
Kind Regards,
The Redbook Inspect Team.
Peace of Mind on Wheels: Outstanding Service from Redbook
I recently used Redbook Inspections for a pre-purchase car inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Owen, the inspector, did a fantastic job—he was thorough, professional, and communicated everything clearly. He took the time to discuss all the findings with me, ensuring I understood every detail. I highly recommend Redbook Inspections to anyone considering buying a used car. Their expertise and customer service are top-notch!

George (2) saved me
George (2) saved me a massive headache. Had a car (m2) inspected by him, without him I would have brought and suffered a massive problem.
Not only did he communicate really well and answer all my question, he also is just an honest man.
Once again, massive thank you to George.
