Pre-Purchase Inspection Cranbourne North — Online Buys
Most Cranbourne North inspections we do start the same way: a marketplace listing, a seller the buyer has never met, and a decision resting on a few photos. Our written report is the counterweight to that. We’re about 8 minutes from Cranbourne West, RACV-accredited, fixed written pricing, the same standard local drivers already rate us for on Google.
Here’s how booking works: tell us where the car is and we’ll drive out anywhere across the south-east for $460 incl. GST, or arrange for it to come to 8B Universal Way, Cranbourne West for $395 incl. GST — the price doesn’t move with distance either way. Once we approve the booking, a secure payment link is texted through, and the slot is confirmed once that’s paid by card. We ask for the seller’s mobile number upfront to lock in access; a car we can’t reach at the agreed time means a $100 call-out fee comes out of the refund. Questions first? 03 8782 0711.
Minutes from Cranbourne NorthCranbourne North drivers book at our Cranbourne West workshop: Pre-Purchase Inspection Cranbourne West — $395
Your local pre-purchase inspection for Cranbourne North
Cranbourne North’s growth around Merinda Park and the northern estates means a large share of the local car market now happens online rather than over a front fence, which is exactly why an independent set of eyes matters more here than it used to. We’re south-west of the suburb, about 8 minutes via Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road.
Near Merinda Park station we’ll typically come to the seller; toward Cranbourne or Lynbrook, bringing the car to our Cranbourne West hoist is often just as easy to arrange. Whichever way, you get the same fixed-price written report, a stamped logbook, and honest advice on what the car actually needs.
Family SUVs, European sedans, everything in between — it’s all checked, and it’s the same workshop Cranbourne North buyers keep coming back to for a fair, straight answer.

Looking for an RACV-accredited workshop in Cranbourne North?
Something worth knowing: RACV itself doesn’t inspect any cars. It sets the standards, accredits workshops that meet them, and publishes those as RACV-Accredited Auto Care Centres — whoever you book actually does the work. We hold that accreditation, and every Cranbourne North booking is carried out by our own team.
That means two things in practice. Our price sits on the page, not behind a phone call — $460 incl. GST mobile, $395 at Cranbourne West — and you pick a day online. It also means we travel to Cranbourne North, so a car that isn’t yours yet never has to leave. If you’re an RACV member, confirm any benefits with RACV directly — that’s their commitment to make, not ours.
Buying from a listing: what we verify before you transfer money
Most cars we inspect around Cranbourne North were found on a marketplace listing, and the buyer has never met the seller. That is a normal way to buy a car now, but it puts a lot of weight on a set of photographs and a short conversation. The listing is a sales pitch; our report is the counterweight.
We confirm the car in front of us is the car in the listing — plate, VIN, build date and odometer as displayed — then inspect it on its own merits. Stored and cleared faults need the optional scan-tool scan, $100 extra — a separate charge, not part of the RACV inspection or its mechanical guarantee. What we do not do is check finance owing or write-off status; that is a PPSR search, which you can run yourself in minutes and should. Cranbourne North is about 8 minutes from us via the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, past Merinda Park.
Do you check whether there is money owing on the car?
No — that is a PPSR check, which is a records search rather than a mechanical one. Run it yourself before you pay; it is inexpensive and takes minutes. We inspect the vehicle itself.
Can you inspect it before I travel to see it?
Yes, and that is often the point. We go to the car, and you get the report before you commit time or money to the trip.
Coming to you in Cranbourne North, or you to us
Mobile means we cover the 8-minute drive into Cranbourne North so you don’t have to move the car at all. If the seller is happy to bring it to us instead, the workshop version puts it on a hoist, with easy parking at 8B Universal Way. Either can be booked online in under a minute.
We’re at 8B Universal Way, Cranbourne West VIC 3977, Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:30pm, or call (03) 8782 0711.
