Want to buy a second hand car, or other vehicle? One of the biggest risks of buying second hand is finding out about major problems down the track. The worse thing is when you are forced to pay to fix issues that may be worth more than the vehicle is worth.
At Hoppers Service Centre, we provide thorough pre-purchase vehicle inspections for anyone buying a used vehicle, whether from a dealership, private seller, or auction. Our comprehensive checks give you peace of mind and bargaining power before making one of your biggest investments.
Whether it’s a car, van or truck you need to make sure you know it’s true condition. And that it’s worth what you’re paying for. A Pre Purchase Car Inspection (or other vehicle) is a comprehensive inspection to check if there are any mechanical, structural, or safety issues you need to be aware of. This will give you peace of mind and confidence about the vehicle you are buying.

Airbag or electrical issues
Past accident damage or tampered repairs
Our inspection could save you thousands — or help you negotiate a better deal.
All inspections are done at our workshop and you are welcome to grab a coffee in our comfortable customer lounge. We’ll use the latest technology to do a thorough check on your vehicle. So if there are any issues, you will know about it.
