Why Auto Assure
Why buyers choose Auto Assure
A used car is one of the biggest cash purchases most people make. Here’s why buyers trust us to check it first.
Independent — we work for you
We inspect for the buyer, never the seller. We don’t sell cars and we’re never paid to help close a sale. The report tells you what’s wrong, plainly.
One flat price — $199
Any vehicle, mobile or at our Hendra inspection centre. No basic/standard/premium packages, no add-ons, no surcharges. The price you see is the price.
Licensed, verified mechanics
Every inspector is trade-licence checked, insured, and quality-reviewed before they inspect for Auto Assure. Not a gig-worker directory.
104-point, photo-backed report
Every flagged item is photographed and rated pass, advisory, or fail — in plain English, delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.
Private & secure report
Your report opens only with your unique reference and token. It’s never sitting on a guessable public link with your name, rego, and VIN exposed.
Buy, negotiate, or walk away
The evidence to make the call with confidence — and the leverage to negotiate the repair costs off the price, or walk from a lemon.
What you actually get
Everything you need to make the call — and nothing you have to decode.
Brakes, tyres, suspension, drivetrain, body, interior, electrical, & underbody. Every point is checked, photographed where relevant, and rated.
104-point inspection
If we find rust, you see the rust. If a tyre is worn, you see the tread. No vague descriptions.
Photos for every issue found
Each issue is rated — minor, moderate, or critical — so you can prioritise. We tell you what needs attention now, what can wait, and what to negotiate.
Severity ratings
A one-paragraph verdict at the top of every report. If you only read one thing, read that.
Plain-English summary
Send the report to your partner, your mechanic, or your finance broker. It's yours.

Brisbane
Where we inspect

Best when the seller won’t release the car. Our inspector meets it at the seller’s location — driveway, kerb, or car park — across greater Brisbane.
Drop off at our Hendra inspection centre
Full hoist access for the most thorough check. 238 Nudgee Rd, Hendra QLD 4011.

Who uses Auto Assure
(01)
When there’s no dealer guarantee behind the car, an independent inspection tells you what you’re really buying.
Buying from a private seller
(02)
A second, independent opinion confirms the car is as described — and gives you the findings to negotiate with.
Buying from a dealer
(03)
Can’t see the car in person? We inspect it on your behalf and photograph everything, so you’re never buying blind.
Buying interstate or online
Frequently asked questions
See all FAQsHow long does the inspection take?
Most inspections take 60–90 minutes. We can come to the seller’s location, or you can drop the car off at our Brisbane inspection centre.
Do I need to be there?
No. We meet the seller, run the inspection, and send the report straight to you. You can review it before you commit.
What if the inspection finds something serious?
Every issue is photographed and rated by severity. You can walk away, negotiate a lower price, or proceed with confidence — your call.
What if the seller refuses to let me inspect?
A seller who refuses an independent inspection is a red flag. We’ll help you have the conversation, and refund your booking if the seller blocks access.
How much does it cost, and how do I pay?
One flat $199 for any vehicle — you see the price before you confirm, and we’ll let you know the accepted payment methods when you book. No tiers, no upsells, and nothing paid to sellers or dealers.
