WHAT WE CHECK & INSPECT

View a sample report by clicking on the "Articles" Tab and select Article 2 and read the actual inspection process by selecting Article 5.

A Summary of what we check:

* To ensure you do not buy a stolen or re-birthed vehicle we verify the VIN and engine Numbers.

* To ensure you are not unknowingly buying a vehicle that has had paint and or panel repairs we carefully inspect the entire body and report repaired and unrepaired damage.

*We inspect and report on unsafe tyres, wheel rims and where possible check the brake discs.

*To detect leakages and worn engine parts we check the relevant fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid etc.) and report on contamination, lack of anti-corrosion additive etc.

*So that you avoid costly engine repairs we inspect the various mechanical components in the engine bay and check for cracked cylinder heads, gaskets and engine blocks.

* For your safety and comfort we make sure that instruments, lights, air-conditioning, radio, horn, mirrors seat and steering column adjustment, parking brake and Indicators all function properly.

* We take the vehicle for a short test drive (up to 60 Km/h) to check the wheel alignment, wheel balance, the shifting pattern of the transmission and clutch function on manuals, the steering, handling and  suspension of the vehicle.  Unusual drive train noises are also noted on the test drive. We recommend you do the same.

* We check under the body for fluid leaks, the exhaust system, signs of damage and four wheel drive residue.

* We only take measurements and tests deemed appropriate by the Inspector - we do whatever is deemed necessary by the Inspector to ascertain the quality of the vehicle.

ABOUT CAR SOLUTIONS

Erich who is the Principal Inspector has now inspected almost 1,000 cars personally. He knows from this experience what to look for to ensure you don't buy a lemon. In a recent survey 99% of our customers were absolutely delighted with the service provided.  Check it out, the testimonials can be viewed via the Facebook link.

Erich operated an NRMA Motoring Services APPROVED business (Sydney Mitsubishi) as Managing Director prior to establishing  Car Solutions Motor Vehicle Consultants which of course was NRMA Motoring Services APPROVED until 2005. When the NRMA discontinued it's a mobile inspection service, Car Solutions saw it as natural extension of it's own services to fill the gap.

Erich served his motor mechanic apprenticeship on petrol powered cars and diesel powered trucks in EUROPE (Germany) prior to migrating to Australia in 1968. Since coming to Australia Erich has worked as service manager right here in Sydney. He was also Dealer Principal and Managing Director of some very large car dealerships, holding franchises as diverse as Toyota, Holden, Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi, BMW and Volvo. Some of these dealerships were or had NRMA Motoring Services APPROVED  used car departments/outlets.  Erich had a long association with NRMA Motoring Services. You can rest assured Erich knows not only what it is all about, but he knows a quality car when he sees one. As dealer principal Erich had up to 20 Mechanics working for him, he supervised the buying and selling of thousands of used motor vehicles.  You might say he knows the tricks of the trade. So, any Car Solutions inspection is much more than a mechanical check!
