AA Vehicle Inspection Napier

Welcome to AA Vehicle Inspection Napier, located in the beautiful Hawke's Bay region of Napier, New Zealand. As a trusted car repair establishment and point of interest, we understand that when purchasing a car, there are often concerns about its condition and safety that you may not be able to address yourself. That's why we offer the independent AA Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Our comprehensive inspection report covers over 100 items, ensuring that no aspect of the vehicle goes unnoticed. From exterior and interior inspections to driveline, engine, cooling system, suspension and steering, brakes, wheels and tires, and overall vehicle operation, we leave no stone unturned in assessing the condition of the car.

It's important to note that an AA Pre Purchase Inspection is different from an AA Vehicle Appraisal. While an appraisal focuses on mechanical and safety aspects with a 43-point check, the pre-purchase inspection goes above and beyond with a 100 point check. This thorough assessment provides buyers with an overview of recommended repairs and potential WoF (Warrant of Fitness) issues.

To make our services more accessible, we offer both depot and mobile inspections. If you reside in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Hastings, Napier, or Havelock North, our mobile inspectors can come to you. However, please ensure that the inspection area meets our set criteria, being level and firm (concrete or similar, not gravel or grass).

It's worth mentioning that we cannot perform a pre-purchase inspection on an unwarranted or unregistered vehicle, except when it has a dealer plate. Additionally, we do not include compression tests as modern vehicles have warning lights for such issues.

For vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of up to 3,500kg, we are fully equipped to conduct inspections. If you can't find your vehicle type when booking online, rest assured that our experienced inspectors combine practical knowledge with specialist diagnostic equipment to provide an independent assessment of the vehicle's condition at the time of inspection.

The duration of an AA Pre Purchase Inspection typically ranges from 1.25 to 1.5 hours. If you are a buyer, please inform the vehicle owner of the booking times to ensure a smooth process.

At AA Vehicle Inspection Napier, we strive to give you complete confidence in your car purchase. Book your inspection online or visit our PPI Booking Enquiry form to see available locations in your area. With our trusted service, you can make an informed decision and drive away with peace of mind.
