Pre-purchase car inspection in Keswick
Keswick, Sutton and the rest of Georgina. William comes up the 404 to the car.
Up the 404, at the car.
Keswick is at the top of Highway 404, about half an hour from where William is based, and it's inside his regular area with no travel charge. A car on Woodbine Avenue, in the subdivisions off The Queensway, or over in Sutton or Jackson's Point: tell us where and when.
Plenty of Keswick cars are second vehicles that sit all week and run to the lake at weekends. The kilometres are low. A car that sits has troubles of its own, and brakes and fluids are the first two.
The report reaches your phone with the photographs, and he will take your call about what is in it.

Buying a used car in Keswick
Georgina is lake country, and the used cars here have often lived beside water and driven gravel and salted roads all winter. Rust is the thing to know about before you buy. William gets under the car and photographs the frame, the subframe, the brake lines and the exhaust, and says plainly whether what he sees is surface or structural.
There are also plenty of trucks and SUVs that have towed boats and trailers. A tow vehicle wears its transmission, brakes and rear suspension harder than a commuter, and the report says how much is left.

Commonly asked questions.
Is this a safety certificate?
No. A safety standards certificate confirms that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards on the date it was issued, and it's what lets the car be plated. A pre-purchase inspection covers the whole car: what's worn, what's been repaired, what the computer has logged, and what condition every system is in. Most buyers want both.
Do I need to be there?
No. If the inspection is paid in advance, William goes on his own. You're welcome to come along, and it can be helpful, because he'll show you what he's finding as he works. Either way you get the report and a call to go through it.
How soon can you come, and when do I get the report?
Most inspections happen within 12 to 24 hours of booking, depending on the schedule; same-day is $50 extra. You receive the Buyer Report within 45 minutes of the inspection finishing, pending payment.
What does the seller need to have ready?
The vehicle ownership and a working key. William checks the VIN on the ownership against the VIN on the car before he starts, so the inspection requires it. He'll also ask whether there are two working keys. Mention both to the seller when you agree on a time.
