CAR INSPECTIONS AIRPORT WEST (3042)

Pre-Purchase Car Inspections for Peace of Mind

Over time, all cars experience wear and tear. Whether it’s a faulty transmission, a flat tyre or a broken timing belt, there are a number of things that can go wrong with one of your vehicle’s many components. To prevent potential issues from growing more serious, it’s vital to choose a reputable mechanic for regular car inspection services.

During a car inspection, our mechanics here at S.S.C. will assess your vehicle thoroughly to detect potential faults. If we identify any potential mechanical faults, we’ll then suggest an appropriate repair service. These can include specialised services like timing belt replacements, tyre fittings and radiator repairs.

 

Ensuring Safety and Savings With Regular Inspection

There are plenty of benefits to receiving car inspection services on a regular basis. By detecting issues early, you can bring your car in for the necessary repairs before the problem escalates. This eliminates the need for more expensive repair and replacement work down the line. Regular inspections and repairs with our team of professional mechanics will also help maintain your car’s value as well as ensure your safety on the road.

Understanding Our Inspection Reports

What’s Included in a Typical Inspection Report?

We provide comprehensive, transparent reports so you know exactly what’s going on under the hood. Our reports typically include:

  • Photos & Videos of key components (undercarriage, engine, any rust or accident damage)
  • Traffic Light Guide (“Go,” “Caution,” “Stop”) to show issue severity
  • Electrical Fault Codes for potential problems detected by diagnostics
  • Service & Maintenance Records reviewing overdue or pending repairs
  • Roadworthy Safety Issues if you’re seeking a Roadworthy Certificate

Interpreting “Go” and “Caution” Indicators

  • Go (Green): Everything’s fine—no action needed.
  • Caution (Amber): Minor issues to address soon.
  • Stop/Critical (Red): Urgent problems needing immediate repair.

This traffic light guide helps you quickly see what needs priority to maintain safety and prevent costly breakdowns.

Building Trust Through Transparency

Clear, detailed reports help you prioritise repairs, manage costs, and meet insurance requirements. From underbody rust to electrical fault codes, our inspections leave no detail overlooked—empowering you to keep your car safe, efficient, and compliant on the road.

 

Understanding the Components of a Car Inspection Certificate

A major reason many car owners bring their vehicles to us for an inspection is to receive roadworthy certification. A roadworthy certificate is essential if you plan to resell your car or clear defect notices. S.S.C. Mechanics is licensed by VicRoads to conduct roadworthy inspections, which include a thorough assessment of complex components of your car like its timing belt, braking system and transmission.

If we spot a defect during a car inspection, we’ll also suggest specific repair services to make sure your car passes the next inspection. If you receive these repairs within 7 days of your roadworthy inspection, you won’t need another full inspection.

Receive roadworthy certification for your vehicle by booking a car inspection with S.S.C. Mechanics today.
