Why Choose Local Pearcedale Pre-Purchase Inspections

Dust and dirt damage: Unsealed roads cause filter and engine wear
Coastal corrosion: Salt air from nearby coast causes rust
Suspension wear: Rough country roads damage suspension

"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"
