The Job
Know What You're Buying Before You Sign
Buying a used car, ute or 4WD without an independent check means taking someone else's word for its condition. At SJB Mechanical, we carry out a pre purchase car inspection in Cairns to give you a clear picture of a vehicle's mechanical condition before you commit to buying it. This is especially useful for anyone looking at a Toyota Hilux or another 4WD, given how much wear off-road use can put on a vehicle.
We check the areas that matter most, from the engine and transmission to suspension and steering, and explain what we find in plain language. If the inspection turns up an issue worth a closer look, our vehicle diagnostics service can dig deeper before you make a decision.
Call SJB Mechanical on 0447 162 060 to book your pre purchase inspection.

The Detail
The Checks We Carry Out
A pre purchase inspection covers the mechanical checks that matter most before you buy.
Full mechanical check of engine, transmission, steering and suspension. We look for signs of wear, previous damage or poor repairs that aren't obvious to a buyer.
Special attention given to 4WDs and utes used off-road. This includes checking for the kind of wear and tear that comes with towing and off-road driving.
A clear written summary of what we find. You'll know exactly what condition the vehicle is in before you hand over any money.
Independent advice with nothing to gain from the sale. Our only job is to tell you what we find, honestly.
Questions
Questions we get asked
A pre-purchase inspection covers the key mechanical components of a vehicle, including the engine, transmission, brakes, steering and suspension. It's designed to identify existing wear, damage or previous repairs that might not be obvious during a test drive.
Private sales don't come with the same consumer protections as buying from a dealer, which makes an independent inspection particularly useful. It gives a buyer an accurate picture of the vehicle's condition before money changes hands.
If an issue is found, it gets included in the summary along with an explanation of what it means for the vehicle. From there, it's up to the buyer to decide whether to proceed, negotiate on price or walk away.
