“Ifran arrived well within the 2hr window. I was having a private seller van pre purchase checked. Ifran seemed very knowledgeable and answered my questions honestly. I not sure if all the checks in the premium checklist are relevant to vans and therefore whether it's good value for money.
I have a basic understanding of car mechanics but not enough to hang the purchase of a used vehicle from a private seller, hence we used ClickMechanic.”

“Simon was hired to do a pre-purchase inspection on a used car I was considering buying. After a thorough check, he picked up on a couple of potentially dangerous issues, including a possible engine fault (he said something didn't seem right but couldn't pinpoint the problem, something only an experienced mechanic would pick up on) during the test drive. All info was sent via e-mail and discussed on the phone. After further investigation online, I found the fault he suspected is actually common on the make and model and leads to irreparable engine failure. I definitely dodged a bullet thanks to Simon, he's saved us thousands and a lot of heartache. Would not hesitate to recommend Simon Davis, Click-mechanic and the pre-purchase inspection.”

“I had a pre purchase inspection. Done one a few years ago via RAC for a different car but Scott’s work just felt more comprehensive, honest and straightforward. He obviously know his beans and was able to tailor advice to the car in question. RAC felt like a check box exercise. The report out from Scott was clear and he brought it to life in his verbal feedback. It was clear that he invested some time in doing the job properly. He even took the time to answer the additional questions I raised at the time of booking. Booked this service online on a bank holiday Monday and he was there the very next day. What more do you need? He gave me pointers on what to look out for at collection of the vehicle to ensure work had been done and even offered the chance to give him a shout if I had any questions. Spot on job. Trusted service. Don't often bother leaving reviews so that says it all.”

Frequently asked questions about pre-purchase inspections in North Tyneside District

Read our answers to questions about pre-purchase inspection costs, symptoms and more.

I plan to buy a used car in North Tyneside District - do I need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection done by an experienced mechanic in North Tyneside District spares you the headache and saves the time of checking the vehicle over yourself. The mechanics on our network know what signs to lookout for, potentially helping you avoid future large repair bills.

We have a comprehensive checklist that the mechanic goes through, and they will provide you with a detailed email report and a follow-up call describing the state of the vehicle (if applicable).

Customers value the pre-purchase inspection report they receive from their mechanics. The report will help you make a decision and possibly assist with negotiating price.

A Basic Pre-purchase Inspection is the most popular choice amongst ClickMechanic customers when it comes to checking a used car before the sale. We currently have 29 mechanics in North Tyneside District doing pre-purchase inspections.

What happens during a pre-purchase inspection?

If you book a pre-purchase inspection in North Tyneside District, a vetted mechanic servicing North Tyneside District will inspect the car you intend to purchase. Depending on the level of service booked (basic, standard or premium), the mechanic will spend up to 3 hours assessing the condition of the vehicle.

When inspecting a used car, mechanics check the interior, lights, fluid levels, brakes and suspension, chassis and car underside (subject to service level booked). All our inspection checklists include a road test to examine the condition of important safety features such as the steering and braking, and give a clear idea whether the vehicle is roadworthy.

Do I need to get permission for a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic in North Tyneside District?

You will need to notify the used car seller about the inspection and should get their permission for the inspection to take place. Also make sure that the inspecting mechanic has clear access to both the vehicle and proposed inspection site so that they can complete their work.

I have booked a used vehicle inspection in North Tyneside District - do I have to be present?

No, there is no need for you to be present during the inspection. Our pre-purchase inspection service is popular with customers wanting to have a professional assessment of a used car they are purchasing e.g. while they are abroad.

You will receive a report about the condition of the car after the inspection is complete and if you wish you will be able to discuss with the mechanic over the phone afterwards (depending on level of service booked).

Does the pre-purchase inspection come with a warranty?

Our pre-purchase inspections of used vehicles do not come with a warranty. The main purpose of inspecting a used car before the sale is to give you an honest and true reflection of the state of the vehicle at the time of inspection.

Pre-purchase inspections in North Tyneside District are most popular for second hand Hyundai, Skoda, and Mitsubishi.

Can I book a follow up appointment?

Following your used car inspection in North Tyneside District, if you decided to purchase the vehicle we recommend having it serviced by one of the mechanics on our network. That way you can ensure you are off to a good start and your car is ready for your future journeys together.

Speak to the mechanic who will do the inspection to book a follow up through ClickMechanic.
