allan 295 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 Hi! could some one from Christchurch give me the names of places they would consider getting a pre-purchase inspection done at. The only place that comes to mind is Jeff Gray but their must be others. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 DCH Motorsport are very good and thorough. They'll do a 2 hour inspection for $140. Also there is Kevin Burt Ltd on St Asaph Street. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeddy 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 The two mentioned are first two i'd consider. JG or DHC are probably the two most qualified places to get it checked out. Jeff Gray are approx $160 iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 I would go with JG , $160 -$180 is a small price to pay which could save you getting a money pit from the get go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 A good point a lemon would be the last thing I would want to purchase. A possible touchy point how impartial would the firm be if the vehicle was serviced and even sold by them from new. As I have had one bad experience with this where the owner was show the report first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 I would not have thought the owner would have any access to the report at all, If you are paying for it then its yours. Then it would be up to you to show what ever you wanted to the owner in the way of getting things fixed or having the price lowered. In saying that though you can just ring JG here with a rego number and they will tell you what if any work had been carried out on said car without giving out details of the owners name of course.
