Mobile vs Workshop Inspection: Which Should You Book?
Same checklist, same tester standard, two logistics. Here is how to choose in ten seconds.
Buying a car? Pre-Purchase Inspection Cranbourne West — $395
Pick by the car’s situation, not the price gap
Choose mobile ($460 incl. GST) when the car cannot easily come to us: dealer lots, auction viewings, sellers who won’t drive it over, interstate purchases where you are not here to arrange anything. We come to the car anywhere in the south-east, one flat price, no distance bands.
Choose workshop ($395) when the seller will bring the car in: the hoist sees the underside properly, workshop instruments join the kit, and it costs $65 less. Underside access is the one genuine technical edge — on rust-belt cars or 4WDs with off-road history, prefer the workshop version when logistics allow.
Either way: 100+ points, diagnostic scan, photographs, written report to you alone, phone verdict first.
FAQ

Yes – the booking form has both, and mode changes before the day are free. The acknowledgment simply re-confirms the matching price.
