Pre purchase inspection in Wellington.

kazbanz, May 22, 3:36pm
hey team. Im looking to trade in a car that is in Wellington.-Not sure of the suburb. I need to get a mechanical inspection carried out as its a make/model that has me a little nervous. Ie its a euro.
Can someone recommend a company to carry out a "pre purchase" inspection for me?

What sort of car? I can't recommend anyone but may be able to help with some common faults and what to allow for.

AA have a mobile PPI service here but I have never used it so cannot vouch for it. Can be booked online.

Kaz.all I can suggest is ask who you use in AKL if they know someone in WLG.

Lets put it this way. My sister wanted one a couple of years back. So she wanted me to bring one in from Japan for her. I point blank refused.

its part of being a dealer sometimes. One word--wholesale :-)

Yeah I know you have to do what you need to do. Where is the car there? There is a Mini garage on the Hutt rd not far from the ferry terminal if memory serves.

All good, hope its worth doing a deal on.

Alternatively try Powerhaus in Tinakori Rd.

In their various photos you can see a Mini Cooper and a Triumph TR6 with the number plate "TRU8le" so they are obviously used to working on cars that tend to need working on.

(No idea if they offer PPIs sorry!)
