If you’re considering purchasing a used European vehicle, a test drive can only tell you so much.
At Pro Mechanical, we provide thorough pre-purchase car inspections on the Central Coast, helping you get a clearer understanding of the vehicle’s mechanical and electrical condition.
From BMW and Mercedes-Benz to Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen, our experienced European vehicle technicians know what to look for, ensuring you can make an informed decision before committing.
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll explain what we’ve found so you have a clearer picture of the vehicle before deciding whether to proceed with your purchase.

Here’s what to expect when you arrange a pre-purchase car inspection with our expert Central Coast team:
Contact our Erina workshop with details of the European vehicle you’re considering and arrange a suitable time for the inspection.
Our technicians check the vehicle’s key mechanical and electrical systems, paying particular attention to issues associated with the make and model.
Where applicable, we use modern diagnostic equipment to check onboard systems and identify stored faults that may require further investigation.
We’ll talk you through any issues identified and highlight areas that may require maintenance, repairs or further investigation.
The time required can vary depending on the vehicle’s make, model, age and condition, as well as whether anything needs a closer look.
When you book, our team can let you know what to expect. If you’re working within a particular timeframe before purchasing the vehicle, let us know when arranging your inspection.

The cost of a pre-purchase inspection can vary depending on the European make and model. Contact our team for pricing specific to the vehicle you’re considering.

Yes. If the European vehicle you’re considering is being sold through a dealership, you can arrange with the dealer to make the vehicle available for inspection at our workshop.
A full service history is useful, but it doesn’t necessarily show the vehicle’s current condition. An inspection can identify wear, faults or maintenance requirements that may have developed since its previous service.
No inspection can guarantee that every existing or future issue will be identified. A pre-purchase inspection assesses the vehicle at the time and highlights any concerns identified during our checks.
