Pre purchase inspection in Sydney. Who do I use??

As we have become one of the most litigious societies on the planet, I am not surprised that NRMA have stopped these inspections.

Google a co called STATE ROADS they do them for $220

Weird, RACV still do them, or did last week when bloke at work bought a Suby Forrester GT.

I would go to a reputable 4wd mechanic. Ring around to see who does inspections. Forget about the racv, raa type inspections on 4wds for the previously mentioned reasons.

If the mechanic does a good job on the inspection, then he will get your business next time you need the fourby serviced, won't he?

Thanks for the replies.

I'll give a call to State Road. The website says he'san ex RTA inspector.

FWIW they also do warranty inspections.

I'll have a look at $wd - (funny typo!! so I'll leave it - kind of sums it up.) - mechanics too see what I can find.

I'm not sure it's the litigious issues that are the cause of the inspections being pulled but I guess more likely a lack of staff. When i did my last one it was a weeks wait and that was 10 years ago.....

Thanks for your help,

NRMA couldnt inspect a rice cracker in a tea cup, they stuffed my daewoo lanos up by there cheap repair idea's by the name of "Competitive Partnering". take it to your local mechanic, don't bother with jax or other tyre mechanical places, hearing stuff from trades people i know that are in the game.

eg and old lady went into a local tyre place to have tyres done and they said she needed new shocks all round, well the old lady had vehicle serviced two weeks to a month before and the shocks where replaced all round, so she told said company no it's alright will get them next time, got home and rang the mechanic that did the job he asked her to come round and checked to see if shocks had failed, NOPE no shock failure, so be very wary but trust your mechanic that you got to or go to a couple.

Try a mob called Sydney Vehicle Inspections.Very thorough and about $200 in 2003.Even went to check a troopy for me way down near Berry!! They also have specialist motorcycle inspector.
Hope this helps.
