I want a full inspection not just mechanical, I’ve not heard good things about AA, out of the bigger outfits like Midas, any recommendations out of those? . The vehicle is in Invercargill. Thanks

Depends on which brand the vehicle is, sometimes the dealership mechanics can be ok, if they work on the same models everyday. They know where the faults can be.

I’ve always used AA & never had any problems, this is always when vehicle is in another city, otherwise use my mechanic.

Yes but the problem there is that you do not know what you do not know. In other words I have looked AhAh inspected cars and some issues they have completely missed and other claimed issues stated by them have proved to be incorrect. One such claim was re the auto trans! Another was that there were oil leaks and it was dry as a bone! There have been too many issues!

Is this a fresh import car or had an owner? If it is a fresh import then I would ask to see the compliance sheet AND the Auction sheet for the car before worrying about any inspections you pay for.

If you are OK getting warnings like "stiff rear view mirror", then the AA is for you.
