Like magic, Anthony made my wheel scrapes disappear. He was very professional, arriving on time, working without any fuss or mess and leaving without a trace. It feels good to have a brand new car again. Thanks Anthony!

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.

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.

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.

FYI we have been using Mycar for around 5 years and they have been a cheap but reliable option, however... aftet the last service, my wife's car… Read more

engine failed weeks after being serviced by MyCar, a much loved car in otherwise great running order. I contacted MyCar, had it booked in and has been sitting at the service centre for months now. They took a week to diagnose it - engine has no compression (no reason why/how). No loan car. Have had to purchase another car so that my wife can get to work and take our child to school. After taking the car to MyCar we are now $20,000+ out of pocket - yes, that is 20k for what we would normally budget for as a $600 service. Was following up every week having been told that I will be looked after but we have not heard anything for weeks. The phone consistently rings out with no answer. Also, their complementary road side assistance is useless. Wife and young young daughter left waiting at night on side of a dangerous road for hours after a blown tyre, despite a one hour ETA. Ended up fixing it myself after being told there would be another 2 hour wait. This has impacted massively on our day-to-day life - financially, stress, work etc. I cannot recommend this company and would avoid at all costs!

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.

I have only taken my car to Automasters twice in 15 years. The first time was at Midland where I was quoted 3 times what I would regularly pay for… Read more

the next service for my Kia Rio, the second was after purchasing a $200 "VIP" Voucher which claims to discount the cost of servicing to parts only. The second Automasters experience from a branch NOR was worse than the first, and a timely reminder why I have avoided taking my car to them for so many years. After receiving an inflated quote for the service with all the "extra's" exceeding 3 thousand dollars on a different vehicle this time, which is a Hyundai I am not going to bother to use the rest of the voucher and I will return to my usual mechanic. The blatant and aggressive upselling will mean I will avoid Automasters in future - I have given two stars because the quality of the workmanship appears satisfactory and the car was ready on time, it's the misleading and aggressive sales tactics that have deterred me from this company for life.

ended up being only one tyre. Took my car to another tyre place and a mechanic which both told me the tyre was fine and they were trying to get a sale on tyres

I also spoken to service New South Wales manager at warners Bay she had told me it is a legal document and she could not change it. Only could you tie could change the outcome? But in her opinion the tire looked fine and should’ve been passed for the pink slip so three independent people have come to the outcome. The tire should have pass the pink slip

Don’t waste your time going there

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.
