Definitely worth the money. Comprehensive check by the mechanic with lots of detail and pictures, and a phone call with a debrief of any potential issues explained. For what I paid for the inspection,... See more

Highly recommend RedBook
Daniel from Red Book inspected a Vw Golf for me in Sydney last week. I thought the process of receiving the report back to me would be long but rest assured I received it on the same day!
Daniel was very thorough in his inspection, he took many many photos, and was very detailed when writing up the report.
I highly recommend RedBook, they are the only PPR’s I’ll be going with in the future. I’ve even booked another vehicle pre purchase inspection for next week!

Peace of mind
Having a trusted body like RedBook physically look at a car on your behalf gives you confidence in what you are buying.
Information given and the follow up phone call were essential to ensure the car being purchased was up to scratch.
The report was detailed and thorough and even measured the paint thickness!
This is a MUST DO when purchasing a car in NSW online, sight unseen.
