Mobile mechanic serving Sevenoaks, 7 years of experience

Worked in a independent garage in Lewisham. Briefly at Kwik Fit. Ford main Dealership 3 years. Range Rover main dealer 2-3 months.

“Robert was very thorough but quick with his checks. He was friendly and pointed out small issues with the S4 I purchased. He took pictures of fault codes and texted them to me a few minutes after he left which was good because I managed to haggle the price down because of these. 5* definitely recommended.”

“I recently had Robert perform a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle I was considering, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his service.

“I was very happy with the service and report provided by Joe. I didn’t expect to have an appointment until the following day however I managed to have the inspection carried out within a few hours on the same day.

As the car is 350 miles away from me I am now happy to discuss the few minor points picked up by Joe with the garage and have these remedied before agreeing on a deal. It is good to know that the car drives & performs well and is overall in as good a condition as the garage photos and videos suggest.

Again, very happy with the service and phone call from Joe.

Frequently asked questions about pre-purchase inspections in Sevenoaks

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

I plan to buy a used car in Sevenoaks - do I need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection done by an experienced mechanic in Sevenoaks 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 28 mechanics in Sevenoaks doing pre-purchase inspections.

What happens during a pre-purchase inspection?

If you book a pre-purchase inspection in Sevenoaks, a vetted mechanic servicing Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks?

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 Sevenoaks - 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 Sevenoaks are most popular for second hand Citroen, Mazda, and Mitsubishi.

Can I book a follow up appointment?

Following your used car inspection in Sevenoaks, 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.
