Information asymmetry is the real problem in car buying. The seller knows more than the buyer. Our job is to close that gap.
We built AAPPI 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
(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
AAPPI partners with licensed workshops across Australia. Workshops apply to join, are vetted by our team, and assign their own licensed inspectors to bookings. Reports are submitted through our platform, reviewed for quality, and delivered to customers. Workshops are paid weekly. Buyers pay one price, once, at booking.

How AAPPI is run
AAPPI is a small, independent team based in Brisbane. We don't employ the inspectors — they're vetted local workshops — and we take nothing from sellers. Our only job is to make an honest, independent inspection easy to book.
Independent by design
No commissions, no relationship with the seller. The report tells you what’s true.
Licensed workshops only
Every workshop is checked for trade licensing and insurance before it can take a booking.
Built in Brisbane
Launching in our home city in 2026, then expanding as more workshops join.
