We built Auto Assure because we got tired of watching people get burned

Independent pre-purchase inspections, run by licensed mechanics who don’t work for the dealer.

Why this exists

The Australian used car market moves $30 billion a year. Most of it happens between private sellers and buyers who don’t know what to look for. The “free inspection” offered by the dealer is run by the dealer’s workshop. Independent inspections existed, but you had to find a mechanic, call them, negotiate, coordinate, and pay them in cash. Most buyers skipped it.

What we believe

(01)

Information asymmetry is the real problem in car buying. The seller knows more than the buyer. Our job is to close that gap.

(02)

A good inspection report doesn't sell you anything. It tells you what's true. Walk away, negotiate, or proceed — that's your call.

(03)

Independence is not a marketing claim. It is a structural requirement. Our inspectors have no commission, no relationship with the seller, and no incentive to soften findings.

How we work

Auto Assure is an independent pre-purchase inspection service in Brisbane. Our own licensed mechanics inspect the car you're about to buy — at the seller's location or at our Hendra inspection centre — and record every finding with photos and severity ratings. Reports are quality-reviewed and delivered within 24 hours. One flat price, paid once at booking. We don't sell cars and we don't work for the seller — we work for you, the buyer.

No commissions, no relationship with the seller. The report tells you what’s true.

Licensed mechanics only

Every inspector is checked for trade licensing and insurance before they can take a booking.
