Hurstville is the commercial centre of the Georges River area, built around Forest Road and the T4 line with King Georges Road running down its western side. Between the apartment towers and the older brick streets, we inspect the car wherever it is parked and hand you the written report before you pay a deposit.
The centre of 2220 is high-density: tower basements, time-limited shopping centre parking and streets that are full from mid-morning. The surrounding streets are older housing with single garages down long driveways.
A large share of the sale stock lives beneath an apartment tower on swipe access. Below ground we can run diagnostics, battery and charging tests, fluid checks, electrical and interior assessment without compromise. What we cannot do properly is read paint finish and panel alignment, so we ask for the car to be brought to the ramp apron or the street, and the report names any check the parking limited.
Meeting in a time-limited centre car park sounds convenient and usually is not: no room to raise the car, poor light, and a clock running. If the seller proposes that, we would rather work at the residential address — and if the car genuinely cannot be inspected anywhere else, we will tell you what that arrangement prevented us from assessing.
Forest Road is signalised and slow. Where the car is registered and insured and the seller consents, we take the test onto King Georges Road or toward the M5 so the driveline reaches sustained speed and the brakes get used from real speed — the only conditions that expose vibration, pull, gearbox lock-up and disc shudder.
Away from the centre, the classic 2220 house has a narrow driveway running past the side of the house to a single garage. There is room to work if the driveway is cleared first, and very little if it is not. We confirm at booking so the seller moves the second car before the inspector arrives.
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 pre-purchase inspection in Hurstville 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. Diagnostics, battery and charging, fluids, electrics and interior work run normally below ground. Paint depth reading and underbody sight-lines need daylight, so we ask for the car to come up where the building allows and the report states any check the parking limited.
We would rather not. Time-limited centre parking gives no room to raise the car and poor light for body assessment. Inspecting at the address is better for you, and if there is genuinely no alternative we will document exactly what could not be assessed.
No. Hurstville is inside the standard service area: $199 Essential, $329 Comprehensive, $449 Elite, plus $199 for the EV and hybrid battery health assessment if added. All prices include GST.
Where it is registered and insured and the seller consents, yes. We avoid judging a car on the Forest Road crawl and use roads that let the drivetrain and brakes work. If a road test is not possible, the report records the reason.

Hurstville sits inside our St George coverage. If the car you're chasing is a few suburbs over, it's the same service and the same price.
