Disappointing experience – I would not recommend using this service. I booked RedBook Inspect to complete a pre-purchase vehicle inspection on a car… Read more

I was considering buying. Unfortunately, during the inspection, the vehicle was externally damaged.

RedBook Inspect did acknowledge responsibility for the damage and agreed to cover the cost of repairing the vehicle, which I appreciate. However, my experience with the handling of the claim afterwards has been extremely disappointing.

I was asked to obtain quotes for a hire vehicle while the repair process was being organised. After providing the requested information, I was later advised that my claim for hire vehicle costs would be refused. This means that, despite RedBook Inspect accepting responsibility for causing the damage, I would be left out of pocket for the cost of alternative transport during the estimated four-day repair period.

I believe this is an important consideration for anyone booking a vehicle inspection. A vehicle inspection is intended to provide confidence and peace of mind, but if damage occurs during the inspection process, customers should be aware that the company’s responsibility may be limited to the direct repair costs only.

I would encourage anyone considering using this company to carefully read the terms and conditions before booking an inspection. Although the company may cover the cost of repairing damage they cause, there may be limitations around other losses or expenses that occur as a result.

I would also suggest that anyone selling a vehicle carefully considers whether they are comfortable having their vehicle inspected by this company. A vehicle inspection should provide confidence to both buyers and sellers, and damage occurring during an inspection can create a very stressful situation for everyone involved.

Another concern was that RedBook Inspect did not handle the matter through insurance, meaning I was required to deal directly with the company rather than through an insurance process. This left me navigating the consequences of an incident that was not my fault.

Overall, while I acknowledge that RedBook Inspect accepted responsibility for the physical damage, the way the claim has been managed afterwards has left me disappointed. Based on my experience, I would not choose to use this service again and would recommend others carefully consider the potential risks before booking an inspection.

I needed a windscreen replaced on my prado. I contacted 4 windscreen replacement specalists. One quote was resonable but then they wanted to charge… Read more

for extra work. The next did not return my call. The next a major outfit initially quoted double what i eventually payed and then reduced the price, The final quote was from INSTANT WINDSCREENS in albury. the price quoted was very good and they were very professional. the car was ready when they said it would be and there was not any further charges. I highly recomend this company.

I highly recommend touch up guy operator Dave Deakin for the repairs on our Silver Mitsubishi eclipse cross. The damage was to the front bumper,… Read more

front mudguard and plastic wheel arch mould. The repair and colour match is perfect. Dave is very friendly and knows his work. The whole job was $250 cheaper than a panel shop in Blacktown. I highly recommend him.

Poor workmanship and very poor follow-up. The roof liner installation on my HSV Senator caused damage, including glue residue, broken trim, and… Read more

visible rippling. Despite emailing numerous times and being told the installer would contact me, no one ever did. I was forced to pay another company to redo the work and source replacement trim at my own expense. Not happy with this company and would not recommend.

With claims of providing "expert servicing by our highly trained BYD (beyond your dreams) technicians" offering a "high standard of service and… Read more

care", I mistakenly thought my local Mycar would be a good choice to replace my car tyres, so recently booked in and paid in advance because they had to order new tyres in. Everything seemed fine until I noticed the "highly trained technician" had jacked up my car using the front and rear suspension control arm bushes as jacking points, rather than using Mercedes Benz factory designated jacking points located on the reinforced rocker panels at the sills. Control arm rubber bushes are not designed to take the full weight of vehicles and is a known weak point on MBs because they're fluid filled and prone to splitting and leaking even with normal use, let alone loading them up with the full vertical weight of a 1500kg car. To make things worse, later inspection showed the removeable plastic swing arm cover beneath the rear control arm was damaged as a result of using it as a jacking point. When I spoke to the technician about my concerns he said the workshop lift used to fit tyres is not designed for sill jacking points and vehicles fitted with tyres at Mycar Toormina were always lifted this way. However, a simple online search shows mechanical engineers and Mercedes experts alike overwhelmingly warn against using control arms as jacking points because they are easily damaged, as they are mostly aluminium arms on modern cars with rubber bushes and the force of the full load of the vehicle could easily compress the rubber bushes, deform the arm and suspension components, affect steering and cause premature wear. The technician later admitted the workshop does have the correct two post lift suitable for vehicles with sill jacking points like mine.....so go figure! So the upshot is - what I thought would be a straightforward, risk and hassle free experience from a company of "experts" who "care", has ended up being one of frustration and anxiety as to whether more damage has been done to my car in addition to what is apparent so far. This experience has certainly been "beyond my dreams", but for all the wrong reasons. My advice to others would be to avoid this "caring" company of "experts" altogether.

oil, oil filter and engine flush. The only thing he really did was diagnose a water leak and give me a huge list of problems. No phone call to fix anything just a bad attitude and a whopping bill. Not a likeable or customer service guy at all. Will never go back there. Do not recommend.

honest assessment. Fortunately for me everything was in good order and I am right for another 10k kms. Maybe as a result of continued servicing with Automasters... Thanks Automasters for a great job.

car today, the service has been quite remarkable. The team at Repairhub, Gregory Hills, were service-oriented and professional, and the repair work on my car was faultless. It had also been washed and vacuumed! Plus, thanks to my insurer, I had an Uber both ways.

Very happy with my ceramic tinting on my MG. Jason did a great job. He was friendly and very informative. I shopped around and this was the cheapest. It was done in a couple of hours at Charmhaven. Highly recommend Tint Ur Ride. Thanks Jason

I used CarInspect for a pre-purchase inspection on an interstate BMW i8. Report reference number: 39886690. I arranged the inspection because the… Read more

vehicle was located in Perth and I am based in Melbourne, so I relied on the report before deciding to proceed.

After the vehicle arrived, several items appeared to differ from the report. The air conditioning was marked as operational, however it was not blowing cold air. The 12V battery was marked as passed, however BMW later advised it failed their test. I had also asked about the butterfly-style doors, and when the vehicle arrived, they did not stay up properly.

The vehicle was later inspected by BMW and a number of repairs were identified. I contacted CarInspect through their website, email, and phone to raise my concerns, but I did not receive a response.

Based on my experience, I was disappointed with the inspection and the lack of aftercare.

Programme (free first 6 months). In last 2 years wait times for service have ballooned here in Perth. I was offered a six week wait. However i was told that If I join the Rewards Programme I would be prioritised to the front of the cancellation list. ie I was marketed the programme two years ago with much better service provision than prevails today and now existing customers like me are being asked to pay more to re establish service levels at closer to those when I bought the policy and apparently are de-prioritising me ahead of others should they take out the payable rewards programme.

Very good experience – Very good experience with the Motor Hospital. They certainly know their stuff. I was happy with the price and friendly service I received. Will use them again definitely.

which included being charged for 4 litres of oil, an oil filter and an air filter. A week later my car was still not functioning so I went to another mechanic, I was told there was no oil in the engine, and the air filter appeared not to have been replaced. My car subsequently developed serious engine problems and a third mechanic advised that the engine had sustained significant damage and required replacement at a cost of around $8,000. I was also advised the lack of oil was likely to have contributed to the damage. I lodged a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading. Given my experience, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion and checking that all work charged for has actually been completed. I wouldn't trust these mechanics.
