PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION
Avoid costly surprises, our inspections can save you thousands.
Ethan was ready to purchase a late-model hatchback that “looked and sounded perfect” according to the seller. After requesting a pre-purchase inspection from Ace Motorsports, we uncovered worn brake components, an oil leak, and an electrical fault that would have cost over $4,800 to repair.
Instead of buying a lemon, Ethan walked away with confidence and eventually found a better car at a better price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-purchase inspection?
A pre-purchase inspection is a full mechanical assessment completed before you buy a used vehicle. We check the engine, brakes, suspension, tyres, electrics, diagnostics, body condition, and other roadworthy indicators, so you know exactly what you’re buying and what repairs may be needed.
How much does it cost?
Most inspections range from $199–$299, depending on the vehicle type and location. All inspections include a full written report with photos and diagnostic scans.
How long does it take?
A standard inspection takes 60–90 minutes, with your digital report delivered the same day.
Do you check for hidden engine or electrical issues?
Yes. We use professional diagnostic tools to scan for hidden fault codes, electrical issues, engine problems, and mechanical wear that may not be visible during a normal visual check.
Do you offer mobile diagnostics and brake checks?
Absolutely. Every inspection includes on-site diagnostics, brake condition testing, and a full safety check.
Can you help me decide if the car is worth buying?
Yes, we give you honest, expert advice. After reviewing the results with you, we’ll tell you whether the car is a good buy, what repairs to expect, and whether it’s worth the price the seller is asking.
