Elite exclusive · the upgrade that pays for itself

Your inspector negotiates the price down with the seller — face-to-face, on your behalf.

We don't just hand you a list of leverage points and wish you luck. A senior inspector with 5+ years on Sydney driveways stays on-site and runs the negotiation directly with the seller using the faults we just documented. Most Elite clients save more than the inspection costs — many save thousands.

Unlimited negotiation rounds · no extra fee · 90-day guarantee with $5,000 cover.

Average $1,800 off the asking price

Based on Elite bookings where the seller accepted at least one revised offer in the last 12 months.

Senior inspector, not a phone coach

5+ years on the tools. They've heard every seller objection — and have the gauge readings to answer them.

You stay home. We do the awkward part.

No back-and-forth texts. No 'let me check with my partner.' Real-time outcome, in writing, before you commit.

Why buyers trust us

Independent, insured, and on the buyer's side.

We don't sell cars, we don't broker cars, and we don't repair the cars we inspect. The only person paying us is you — which is the only honest way to run this service.

Qualified

Every inspector is vetted, experienced, and trained to our standards before we put them in a uniform.

Insured

Full public liability cover in writing — ask any 'mate' or backyard mechanic for the same and watch them go quiet.

Truly independent

We do not sell, broker, finance, transport or repair the cars we inspect. No kickbacks from dealers, workshops or finance brokers. Ever.

60–120 photos per job

Every finding is photographed with a date-stamped close-up plus context shot. No 'trust me, it was there' — the evidence travels with the report.

Calibrated equipment

OBD-II scan tools, paint depth gauges, tyre tread depth gauges and battery analysers — calibrated annually with certificates retained for audit.

90-day money-back cover

If we miss a major mechanical, electrical, structural or safety fault present at inspection, we refund 100% of the fee and contribute up to $5,000 toward the repair. In writing on every report.

Same-day reports

Written PDF + share link delivered before midnight on inspection day, every time. Most reports land within 3 hours of leaving the driveway.

No upsell, no callback fee

Flat fee, GST included, no travel surcharges across Greater Sydney. We will never call you afterward trying to sell you the next service tier.

Pick by situation

Best inspection for your buying scenario.

Elite Buyers' Protection pays for itself: even after you've already negotiated, the minimum we save you is typically worth much more than the $449 inspection fee. If your situation isn't here, call us on 02 8320 1246 and we'll point you to the right one — no pressure, no upsell.

Private sale on Gumtree / Facebook

Recommended: Comprehensive

Private sellers carry no consumer-law warranty. Get the full mechanical + PPSR + repair-cost estimate before you transfer a cent.

View tier

Licensed used-car dealer

Recommended: Essential or Comprehensive

Statutory warranty covers some defects, but only major ones and only briefly. An independent inspection catches what the dealer's prep skipped over.

View tier

Recommended

Need us to negotiate? Already negotiated?

Recommended: Elite Buyers' Protection

Saves more than it costs

Elite covers both: senior inspector negotiates face-to-face with the seller, or validates your deal after you've haggled. Even after you've already negotiated, the normal minimum we save is worth much more than the $449 inspection price.

Ex-auction (Pickles / Grays / Manheim)

Recommended: Comprehensive

Auction cars are sold as-is with no recourse. We inspect at the yard before you bid or before you collect — your last chance to back out.

Buying interstate — sight unseen

Recommended: Elite Buyers' Protection

If you can't see the car yourself, a senior inspector + video walk-around + Negotiation Brief is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.

First car or P-plater purchase

Recommended: Essential

Under-$15k city hatch or sedan — fast safety + OBD check is the right level of cover without overpaying on the inspection.

Family SUV / 7-seater

Recommended: Comprehensive

Higher-km family SUVs (CX-9, Kluger, Sorento, Pajero Sport) need the full timing-chain, transmission and ADAS check before you commit.

Ute / 4WD / tradie vehicle

Recommended: Light Truck Inspection

Hilux, Ranger, Triton, BT-50, Navara — we inspect for load history, tray wear, ball-load, chassis stress and turbo / DPF condition.

View tier

EV, hybrid or Tesla

Recommended: Elite + Battery Test

Battery State-of-Health drives 60% of the value on a used EV. Pair Elite with the $149 EV Battery Test (or Elite includes it free).

Prestige / European / >$50k

Recommended: Elite Buyers' Protection

BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Porsche — senior inspector with paint gauge on every panel, cold-start protocol, and on-site price negotiation.

Work van or people-mover

Recommended: Light Truck Inspection

HiAce, Transit, Express, iLoad, Carnival, Odyssey — commercial-use history means these need chassis, load and turbo/DPF scrutiny.

Buying from a friend or relative

A friendly sale still needs an independent report. Protect the relationship and your wallet with an impartial, photo-documented inspection.
