Money well spent
I am so glad I organised this inspection by Redbook. The inspection was completed quickly and I received the phone call immediately to advise me of some small issues which the dealer rectified before purchase. I gave me the peace of mind to proceed with the purchase of my new used vehicle.

The inspection was very thorough and informative
The inspection was very thorough and the extensive photography of all parts of the vehicle was very informative. This was the third vehicle on which I had a Redbook inspection and this saved me from buying two cars which had a lot of problems, and allowed me to purchase the third car with confidence that there were no hidden issues.

Get Joe to Inspect
Get Joe as your inspector from RedBook. He did an amazing job with a 9-year old Mazda that I wanted to purchase. He knew about the common issues and gave me assurance he was able to check it from a mechanic's POV. He also mentioned all the small things like wear and tear from an aged car.
