European vehicle inspection
European vehicles can be more complex and more expensive to put right. A careful inspection before purchase can save a lot later.
A european vehicle inspection from Green Bean Auto costs $275 (fixed price) and is carried out on-site anywhere across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie by a Fully Licensed Motor Vehicle Repairer (MVRL60337). It includes a diagnostic scan, road test and a written report with photos, so you can negotiate or walk away with evidence.
