4WD pre-purchase vehicle inspections

Bush-bashed, thrashed or even submerged? It’s a genuine risk when purchasing a used 4WD.

Green Bean Auto’s pre-purchase 4WD inspections will determine if the vehicle you’re looking to buy has been pushed to its limits. This will likely mean you’ll inherit the car’s mechanical wear, tear, and breakages if it has.

As a part of our standard checks, we look for signs of boat and watercraft launching, including salt rust. We check for heavy ground contact from off-roading and bush-bashing. We make notes of aftermarket accessories and their quality, as well as 4WD high/low function, hub locks and more. We also review the logbook history to ensure the vehicle has had regular services or required minor/significant repairs. You’ll get a complete overview of the vehicle’s condition so you can decide if it’s the right fit for you.

Buying a 4WD could be viewed in the same way as buying a house. You’ll either buy something that’s been well looked after or buy a fixer-upper that requires greater financial upkeep.

Either way, it could be exactly the car you’re hoping for! Let us take the guesswork out of the purchase so you know what you’re getting for your hard-earned money.

Great workmanship, friendly service and good price. Luke went above and beyond and was VERY thorough. I booked Luke to replace a rocker cover gasket that was leaking oil. Not only did he fix it he identified an additional problem that I never noticed which would have been very costly if left undetected. Thank you Luke

Not only is Luke a lovely person, but he offers an amazing service at a very reasonable price. So convenient to have the option of Luke coming to you, either at your place of work or at home, to sort out your car. We have used Green Bean Auto now three times in the last 6 months to service both our cars, and just today again to sort out an issue with my brakes. When I contacted him yesterday I was so impressed at how quickly Luke not only responded, but fitted me in the very next day. And he had looked at his notes from the prior service and therefore knew in advance what the issue was likely to be. Highly recommended, reliable and trustworthy mechanic. Thank you so much Luke!

My car had broken down 2 hrs from home so I was in a jam. My car was not able to be driven to a mechanic and I didn’t have time to wait for days for someone to fit me in. I rang Green Bean Auto to see if they could help. Luke answered my call straight away, diagnosed the issue over the phone, came out promptly with the required parts and fixed the car within 30 mins. Green Been Auto provides a friendly, professional service without any hidden costs or charges. Everything was quoted upfront and it could not have been an easier and more painless experience to get my car fixed. I would use Green Bean Auto again in a heartbeat and would happy recommend Luke to any friends and family. Thanks Luke!

I recently had Luke from Green Bean Auto conduct a pre-purchase vehicle inspection as I was purchasing a second-hand 4WD from interstate. I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the outstanding service provided by this professional and reliable business. They were accommodating with scheduling, which was crucial for me as an interstate buyer. The mobile mechanic arrived at the location on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and expertise. The inspection itself was thorough and comprehensive. The mechanic took the time to meticulously examine every aspect of the 4WD providing me with over 50 photos and a detailed report afterward. What impressed me the most was the turnaround time and honesty – 48hrs since contacting Green Bean the inspection was complete, and report provided. They also didn't just highlight the positive aspects but also pointed out any potential issues, giving me a well-rounded view of the vehicle's condition. Furthermore, the mechanic was patient and willing to answer all my questions, providing valuable insights into the 4WD's maintenance history and future considerations. This level of customer service made me feel confident and informed about my purchase decision. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Green Bean for anyone in need of a pre-purchase inspection.

Luke is an outstanding mechanic. He always goes above and beyond at a great price! He is someone with integrity and never ‘over charges’ like others can do. He has been my ‘go to’ mechanic for the past 12 months. Great bloke, Great work, Great service, Great price! Can’t recommend him enough!
