Pre-purchase mechanical inspection service - Auck?

Hi all, can anyone pls recommend an outfit in Auckland to undertake a pre-purchase mechanical inspection! A mate of mine is looking to buy a 2006 Mazda MPV. Looks sound, but wants a professional opinion before purchasing. And obviously no, we aren't going to waste our time using the AA. Any suggestions anyone! Cheers.

I brought a Mazda Atenza in Auckland while I was in Wellington at a dealer. Had it checked out by Car Inspection Services. I was very impressed, they picked up a seam on the rear doors that was starting to rust (a common fault). They pointed it out to the dealer and it was fixed before I even agreed to buy the car. They were very through.

Cheers, yeah based in Wellington so my local trusted options aren't an option this time. Both look sharp, so will give them a call. Thanks for the feedback.
