Castle Hill has one of the larger concentrations of new-car showrooms outside the highway corridors, plus a deep supply of privately sold family cars from the surrounding Hills streets. We inspect either, independently, and hand the report to you rather than the seller.
The showroom cluster along Victoria Avenue and Old Northern Road, the generous residential blocks, and easy M2 access are the three practical facts that shape an inspection here.
Dealer sites here store vehicles across decks and rooftop parking. A car three levels up under artificial light is a poor place to read paint depth and impossible for an underbody view. Ask the dealer to have it at ground level, unlocked and with keys ready, when you book us in.
Most Hills homes offer a double garage or a wide driveway. That gives us room to open every door, walk both flanks, use ramps safely on level concrete and lay out the diagnostic gear — which means fewer sections of the report end up qualified with an access limitation.
With M2 access via Windsor Road and Old Windsor Road, sustained motorway speed is part of the road test rather than an aspiration. Driveline vibration, wheel balance, alignment pull and torque-converter lock-up only present themselves above suburban speeds.
A car that has spent its life in a Hills garage may have excellent paint and a poor mechanical record, because low exposure and low use are not the same thing. Brake-disc lip and corrosion, perished rubber, aged fluids and battery condition are all worth measuring on a car like that rather than assuming from the duco.
You don't need to be there and you don't need to move the car. Timing depends on inspector availability in your area and on when the seller can make the vehicle available — we confirm a time with you once we've spoken to them.
Send the listing and the address of the car. Tell us if there is anything specific you want checked.
We contact the seller or the dealership directly and lock in a time that suits both sides, based on inspector availability in your area. You don't need to be there.
A qualified mobile inspector attends the vehicle where it is and works through the full checklist, including a road test.

If we miss a major fault that was present at the time of inspection on an Elite Buyers' Protection inspection, we contribute up to $3,000 toward the repair within 30 days. Essential and Comprehensive do not include this cover.
A pre-purchase inspection in Castle Hill removes most of the risk in a used-car purchase. It does not remove all of it, and you should know where the edges are before you book.
Yes. We attend major and independent yards as well as private addresses. We are engaged and paid by you and have no relationship with the seller. Give the dealership notice so the car is accessible and the keys are on hand when the inspector arrives.
Yes. The $199 battery health assessment can be added to any tier and reports measured state-of-health data from the battery management system, rather than the range estimate the dashboard shows, which varies with recent driving.
$199 Essential, $329 Comprehensive and $449 Elite, GST included, with no Hills District travel surcharge. The battery health assessment is an extra $199 on any tier.
The checklist is the same but the emphasis shifts to the things a family car actually uses hard: tailgate and boot hardware, third-row and child-restraint anchor condition, air-conditioning performance front and rear, seat and trim wear, and brake condition given the weight it carries.
Castle Hill sits inside our Hills District coverage. If the car you're chasing is a few suburbs over, it's the same service and the same price.
Tell us where the car is and we'll arrange the inspection with the seller. Written repair cover on Elite (30 days / up to $3,000).
