    What We Do

    Our pre-purchase car inspection service is designed to provide you with a detailed analysis of the vehicle’s condition. Here’s what our service includes:

    1. Comprehensive Vehicle Assessment: Our skilled mechanics will conduct a thorough inspection of the car, checking vital components such as the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electrical systems. We look for signs of wear, damage, or potential future issues that could affect the vehicle’s performance and safety.
    2. Body and Frame Inspection: We examine the car’s exterior for any signs of previous accidents, rust, or structural damage. This includes assessing the condition of the paint, panels, and undercarriage to ensure the vehicle’s integrity.
    3. Fluid Checks: Our technicians will inspect all fluid levels, including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. Low or dirty fluids can indicate maintenance issues that may need addressing.
    4. Tyre Condition: We assess the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and wear patterns. Properly maintained tyres are crucial for safe driving and vehicle performance.
    5. Road Test: After our inspection, we conduct a road test to evaluate the vehicle’s handling, braking, and overall performance. This practical assessment provides insight into how the car operates under real-world conditions.
    6. Detailed Reporting: Once the inspection is complete, we provide you with a comprehensive report outlining our findings. This report will include any potential issues, estimated repair costs, and recommendations, empowering you to make an informed decision.

    I can’t thank Gary and the Team at One Stop Auto Care enough for the professional, caring and couteous attention they extended towards me when I took my car…

    to them to diagnose and fix what can only be described as a ‘mysterious’ problem.
    It was the first time I had ever used One Stop and I did not expect such high ethical, personalised, genuine and helpful service. They went above and beyond my expectations. I’m very glad I found them! Thank you to all of you.
