What Perth Car Buyers Say
"Saved me from buying a car with a cracked head gasket. Mark found it in the inspection and sent me a full report with photos within an hour. Worth every cent."
"Booked same-day, Mark came to the seller's house in Gosnells. Super thorough, explained everything clearly. Ended up negotiating $1,500 off the asking price based on his report."
"RAC had a 4-day wait. Autova came the next morning. The digital report was detailed and easy to understand. Will use again for my next car purchase."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you come to the seller's location for a pre-purchase inspection in Perth?
Yes. Autova is fully mobile — we come to wherever the car is located, whether that's the seller's home, a dealership, or a private car yard anywhere within our 30km Perth service zone.
How long does a pre-purchase car inspection take?
A thorough pre-purchase inspection typically takes 60–90 minutes on-site. You receive your digital report within 2 hours of the inspection completing.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
No. You can attend if you'd like, but it's not required. We'll carry out the full inspection and send you the complete digital report with photos and findings.
How is Autova different from RAC or RedBook inspections?
Autova offers same-day or next-day mobile inspections with $0 call-out fee and flat-rate pricing. RAC and RedBook inspections typically require 3–5 days lead time and charge a call-out fee on top of the inspection price.
What if the car fails the inspection?
You get a full report either way. If we find serious issues, we'll clearly flag them so you can negotiate a lower price, request repairs, or walk away — fully informed.
