Frankston has a huge used car market - from dealerships on Nepean Highway to private sellers on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace. With so many cars for sale, there are plenty of good deals, but also plenty of lemons. Common issues we find in cars sold in the Frankston area:
Most sellers will let you drive the car to our workshop in Pearcedale for inspection - it's just 15 minutes from Frankston. Alternatively, we offer mobile pre-purchase inspections where we come to the car's location in Frankston (additional fee applies). If the seller won't allow an inspection, that's a major red flag.
Yes. We regularly inspect cars from dealerships along Nepean Highway and throughout Frankston. Most reputable dealers allow independent inspections - if they don't, ask yourself why. Even dealer cars can have problems, so it's worth getting an independent check.
Private sales carry more risk than dealer sales. Arrange to bring the car to our workshop, or we can perform a mobile inspection at the seller's location. We'll check everything thoroughly and provide you with an honest report. Many Frankston private sellers are genuine, but our inspection protects you from the dishonest ones.
Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspection is competitively priced. Contact us for an exact quote. Consider that our inspection fee is minimal compared to buying a car with hidden faults - we regularly find issues that cost thousands to repair. It's cheap insurance for Frankston car buyers.
Just 15 minutes from Frankston CBD. Book your pre-purchase inspection today and buy with confidence.

"Very thorough and fair, Howard has picked things up that would have cost a lot more later if missed! Great service and he explains everything. We moved interstate and the new mechanic commented on how well the car had been looked after. 10/10"
