Carl came recommended to me from a young salesman from a LMVD in Henderson. I looked him up online and sent an email a few days later, late one evening, querying his services as it was close to Christmas. I got a phone call about ten minutes later! When I had found a suitable car after a second test drive, Carl was called to arrange a pre purchase inspection for me. Once completed, the report was sent, in the timeframe he said it would, in depth with all the checks you need and plenty of photos, of the car both inside and out, showing even minor imperfections (2013 car will not be perfect!), I purchased the car and would recommend Carl to anyone wanting a thorough PPI on a car. Money well spent :)

Carl is very thorough, provided detailed reports, photos and videos of the vehicle. A very comprehensive analysis that enabled me to buy the vehicle and Carl's input saved me more money than what he charged for his services. Wouldn't purchase a vehicle without Carl's input again.

As a car novice I find the whole car purchase experience overwhelming! Carl's service has given me great reassurance in buying a car. Because I'm from Hawke's Bay I had a limited amount of time to buy a car in Auckland. Carl moved things around to fit in my pre-purchase inspection. The reports he provided are comprehensive and so detailed I now know the condition of every part! Well worth paying the little bit extra that other car inspection companies charge. Highly recommend that you go with Carl at Incar Autos. Well worth the peace of mind!

So refreshing to deal with a business like Incar in this day and age. Carl is straight to the point, honest and really good at his job. Will be recommending him to anyone that mentions they are looking for a car. Cheers

So much effort put into a report, Great guy!

Review says it all! I had an outstanding experience with Incar third-party inspection. Their report exceeded my expectations, providing thorough details that were well beyond what I anticipated. The professionalism and efficiency displayed by carl was remarkable, and the service was worth every dollar. I highly recommend Incar for anyone seeking a comprehensive and reliable third-party inspection.

Prompt, professional and very comprehensive pre-purchase inspection services.

Had a pre purchase inspection for a toyota hybrid, Carl was quick, responsive and did excellent job in providing information to give me the confidence in going ahead with a purchase, would recommend over VTNZ or AA.

I would highly recommend Carl if you're considering a pre-purchase inspection. He examined a Subaru Impreza I was eager to buy as my first car and quickly identified a major issue that would have cost me thousands in repairs. His professionalism was clear — he stopped the inspection immediately, charged me a reduced rate, and sent over photos and videos highlighting the fault as well as exterior damage I hadn't noticed. Will definitely be using his services again.

Great service and super fast turn-around. We got in touch on Saturday, Carl did a very thorough inspection the next day and we had a report in hand before the dealership opened on Monday.

Carl you are the man! Received a comprehensive report of the inspection carried out. Very detailed with photos and all the relevant information on the car. Gave me peace of mind buying my daughter's first car. Highly recommend Incar Automotive and the fantastic service Carl provides.

Worth every cent. Carl is straight up, tells it how it is and will make sure you get what you need without the BS. Will definitely use his services again.

Brilliant service by Carl at Incar Automotive. I phoned him late on Monday and he had managed to inspect the car by Tuesday evening (due to a cancellation). By Thursday morning I received the detailed inspection report as well as dozens of photos of the vehicle and images and videos from his testing software, confirming that the car was in very good nick. I doubt there is another outfit in Auckland that can do as thorough a job as Carl, especially for EVs or hybrids. Highly recommended.

He is doing fantastic job as Pre purchase inspection, for hybrid and ev vehicles. Highly recommended.

Carl was actually out of Auckland when we first reached out for help regarding an EV we wanted to buy. The entire time Carl was away he still kept in contact with us with very helpful information for any questions we had. As soon as Carl got back into Auckland he went straight to the EV to inspect it for us. The inspection was extremely thorough and carried out very efficiently. Carl was very quick at getting the report back to us as well. We are very grateful as the report helped us make a good decision in buying this particular EV for our family. I highly recommend Carl, he knows his stuff on EV cars. He is great and easy to deal with, his prices are also very good. We will always go back to him if we need anymore EV help.

Carl went the extra mile for me and made me feel like a truly valued customer. Highly recommended!

Efficient and thorough.he even physically inspect the battery condition.

Update: Third time using Carl's service. Nothing has changed since we first engaged his service. Very easy transaction as always and very detailed report. Satisfied customer😊 Highly recommended⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very easy to communicate with and very thorough with his report. I will definitely get Carl’s service again when buying a used vehicle.

Carl is an absolute professional. His reports are incredibly detailed and thorough. He explains his extremely detailed findings in lay mans language and clearly tells you what he has found,both positive and negative with the vehicle. He has diagnostic tools to interrogate the status of the vehicle computer and again offers explanations of his findings. He is personable and accommodating. He liaised with the seller to ensure the service was pain free and promptly completed. Look no further than Carl for your next vehicle inspection, he is a gem. Above is my review from 2 years ago with Incar Automotive, I just purchased another car and Carl was my first and only port of call for the inspection. He gave me advice regarding an ill considered purchase I looked at with complete honesty and professionalism. The car I did purchase ex-rental corolla got a thorough inspection by Carl and passed with flying colours. If Carl was not happy I would not have considered the purchase. His reports are incredibly detailed with clear explanations of what to focus on, he is accommodating to work in with the seller and quick and easy to deal with. He has only gotten better since I first used him 2 years ago and I continue to recommend him to anyone I know looking for this type of service. Consummate professional and thoroughly pleasant to deal with, any money you spend with Carl will be money very well spent.

Pre-purchase inspection of the battery on a hybrid vehicle. Very thorough and gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision.

5 STARS!!! I was super impressed with the pre inspection service provided by Carl from Incar Automotive. My wife and I were in Melbourne at the time and were looking at buying a Toyota Klugar in Auckland, New Zealand when we returned home. We required someone with exceeding high standards and reviews. We chose Carl from Incar Mobile to do this. 5 STARS: Quality customer service when dealing with seller. 5 STARS: Level of professionalism shown. Carl was very thorough when providing diagnostics and photos of the car. I was amazed at the level of detail and documentation. At the end of which - as a buyer - felt I was in safe hands. 5 STARS!!! I would highly recommend Carl from Incar Automotive to anyone looking for the quality pre inspection service. 5 STARS!!!! Thanks alot Carl :)

Carl was great, I got a prepurchase inspection done for a 2nd hand hybrid and he was incredibly through and gave really detailed feedback. Overall, very happy with the service, and would highly recommend.

Carl did a thorough job, providing many photos, reports and explanations that allowed me to not only (mostly!) understand what was being tested and the outcome, but also bring some matters to the car dealer's attention prior to purchase. Prompt, communicative, friendly - highly recommended.

Carl is very thorough with his approach. Straight no nonsense feedback. Car purchased and quite happy with the purchase.

Absolutely top-notch inspection. This is the second time I have had a vehicle check by Carl and have been over the moon with the results both times. VERY in-depth inspection supplied with excellent reports and a myriad of photos showing everything that could be shown, including the results of some of the actual tests carried out. Without any doubt, I will always ask Carl to check out any vehicles that my family or I are looking at purchasing, also, if a car dealership prefers him not to do the inspection, I will be going to another dealership immediately. Carl's inspections are worth their weight in gold. Thanks again Carl, really appreciated.

Great value, highly detailed report, easy to deal with. Thanks Carl.

Carl inspected for me multiple cars and each time his service was exceptional. He went into details and provided me with ALL the positives and negatives he had found with each car. He is a true professional, I knew exactly what I was buying after getting his report.

Incredibly detailed report and very punctual service with great comm’s. Gave me confidence to buy a car I couldn’t view and knew not much about re: battery health. 100% recommend.

Carl from Incar Automotive Ltd is really awesome. He gave me very valuable advice on numerous occasions when I was looking for a reliable hybrid car. He is very knowledgeable, patient and experienced. He saved me from buying cars with potential issues that were overpriced. When I finally found the car, a Totota Hybrid, he did a thorough inspection and shared photos of all parts of the car, inside and outside as well as videos. On top of that he sent me a detailed report. I am very happy with car I ended u with and I highly recommend Carl for your car inspection. Real value. Thanks Carl!

Great job! Your work was not only thorough but also executed with a high level of professionalism.

Carl is super amazing! He is insanely detailed, took photos of every nook and cranny possible, thoroughly checked everything, even those I never thought of before, and then sent hundreds of high-quality images. He also sent a summary and list of suggestions on what to do or expect. I have never experienced a service like this before. You won't get a lemon with Carl, definitely will recommend his service to others.

Extremely thorough and professional. Has only the best interest of his clients in mind. Would recommend him to anybody looking for a pre purchase inspection and will use him again in the future.

Prepurchase inspection of a Toyota hybrid. Unbelievable level of detail and overwhelming number of pictures. Obviously a very detail oriented man who enjoys his work. Thanks Carl for giving us a high level of confidence with our purchase. Impressive also that Budget Cars Manukau was prepared to recommend Carl, knowing as they do how thorough his inspections are.

Thanks Incar for the hybrid pre-purchase inspection. The inspection was incredibly thorough and allowed me to buy with confidence knowing the battery and mechanical health. Appreciated that Carl is a specialist in hybrids amd coordinates directly with the seller making this a seamless experience.

If you're purchasing a second hand Tesla, get Carl in to take a look. I was blown away with a tech Carl used, the amount of information and care shown in providing a report to give you peace of mind and ultimately be able to make the right decision.It isn't a cost, it is an investment getting Carl involved !

Pre purchase inspection for a hybrid. Carl was very professional and provided a very thorough report that helped us decided whether we buy our car. Thanks Carl

Carl did a pre-purchase inspection on a Prado for us at short notice. This was important to us as we wanted it checked before the weekend as we wanted to purchase it asap. We were replacing a stolen car so we had been 1 car down. He couldn't have been more helpful. He contacted me as soon as finished and gave a quick verbal opinion on the vehicle and outlined a couple of minor issues. He finished by saying "I would buy car". That was all I needed to hear. An hour later, we bought the car. He forwarded the tests, photos, videos and reports, later that night. To say they were comprehensive, would be an understatement. Very impressed with the scope and detail. This is the first time I have used Carl's services. It won't be the last. Thanks again, Carl, for all help.

Carl from Incar Automotive conducted a very thorough pre-purchase inspection for us. Communication was effortless—one phone call and the inspection was arranged. As we were purchasing a petrol car, the report, which included photos, explanations, details, and an easy-to-understand summary, was invaluable in helping us make our decision. It couldn’t have been easier! I would definitely choose Incar Automotive again. Thank you!

I've used Carl services once for my car. 6 YEARS AGO.purchased a used car that still running perfectly after putting 80k km. Thanks Carl!

Would highly recommend Carl. I asked him to examine a Subaru Impreza I was eager to buy as my first car and he quickly identified a major issue that would have cost me thousands in repairs. He was also very professional about it — immediately stopped the inspection, charged me a reduced rate, and sent over loads of photos. Will definitely be using his services again.

Prompt service & a very comprehensive review. We had a pre-purchase inspection done on an ex-rental EV. Great to proceed to purchase with confidence.

Carl did a fantastic and detailed job on our pre-purchase inspection report for a second hand hybrid. Really happy with the outcome, it gave us lots of confidence in making the purchase - would thoroughly recommend to everyone. Thanks Carl!

Useful info provided with no fuss and promptly. Great being able to chat on the phone to clarify one point.

Wow out all my years I've owned vehicles and had them inspected, Carl is right up there and will give you that detailed report that you all deserve to receive. Without a doubt, highly recommended!

Thankyou Carl for an excellent efficient service and a fully comprehensive report on my car I will recommend your inspection to anyone. Well worth it. Susan

What a wonderful service Carl provides. He took the stress and worry out of buying a car by providing an exceptionally thorough and detailed report. Far beyond my expectations. This gave me great confidence that I knew exactly what I was purchasing. He was also really helpful when I called up to ask a few questions. Will definitely be recommend to all and would use again when buying a car.

The assessment of my Hybrid vehicle was done in time for me to make a decision about my proposed purchase. I also received heaps of information from Carl re the above vehicle.

Honest, didn't waste time to tell me about the a make and model to avoid.

I'm so happy with the pre purchase inspection, communication and all round help I received from Carl, when finding my car. He was professional, exceptionally thorough, experienced and knowledgeable, which gave me confidence that I was buying a reliable car. With his fully equipped van, he can carry out inspections almost anywhere. I will never use any other company, if I need another inspection. I recommend his services to anyone and everyone and will continue to do so. Thank you Carl. :- )

Carl did a pre-purchase inspection for me on a hybrid car. Was really happy with the service - good communication with timely responses and a very thorough report. Thank you :)

Carl recently inspected a Plug-in Hybrid for me. I was really impressed with the detail of his report – great to have peace of mind and clarity before buying

Very comprehensive inspection report. Thank you very much !

It was by coincidence that I ended up using Incar vehicle inspections as the other company I was meant to use didn't answer my calls on the inspection day, however, I must say it was the best coincidence of the year! I was surprised by how detailed his inspection was, it took him over 3 hours just for the physical inspection of a Lexus I was interested in buying. He pointed out every single flaw and issue, to the point where he even recorded practically impossible to see windscreen chips. I ended up buying the car he inspected and I was very happy with the purchase. I will most definitely be using him again and again every time I am buying a new car. I just hope I didn't set the bar too high now for him now with this review, hahahaha :D but that is because of how satisfied and surprised I was with his service!!

Carl was very quick to respond and got to inspect the car the very next day. Inspection was attentive with a very comprehensive report. Worth the money.

Carl is a very detailed car inspector and take time to inspect your vehicle. With his hybrid equipment i can get a good reading of the car i am buying from toyota noah

This is the 2nd time I've used Carl's services and booked in a full check for a 2016 Mazda 3. This time round Carl checked even more parts of the car than before, he also took photos of every single bit of the car you could think of! I really needed the inspection report for the next day and he stayed up until 1:30am that night writing it for me - Outstanding service and I was even able to negotiate $2k off the car price because of the detailed body photos.

Carl's communication was great, he was able to book me in quick on a busy week and his inspection was thorough and showed he's an expert in his field. Would definitely use his service again.

非常满意与 Incar Automotive 的 Carl 的合作体验！他在电动车和混合动力车检查方面非常专业，不仅知识丰富、检查细致，而且性格很好——友善、诚实，沟通非常顺畅。 让我印象特别深刻的是整个流程非常方便。Carl 提供上门服务，直接来到我家进行检查，省时又省事。他的服务性价比也很高，检查非常全面，价格却非常合理。 如果你正在新西兰寻找一位可靠且专业的电动车/混动车检测专家，我强烈推荐 Carl！以后需要的话我一定还会找他。

The reviews led me to book Carl's services, and he definitely lives up to the hype. I needed an inspection during a tight timeframe AND during a public holiday and he turned up - punctual, really thorough, and easy to communicate with. Thanks again Carl

Carl was highly recommended by a boardie from Trademe motoring message board where I posted questions about buying a station wagon. I am glad that I had engaged the services of Carl for my pre purchase inspection report of a Toyota Fielder. I was very amazed that Carl was very thorough and detailed in all aspects of the wagon. He took hundreds of photos as well. This was the first time I had a great portfolio of my new car. Carl also takes time to reply to my questions and does not hesitate to explain to me when it became too technical for me to understand. Last I heard, he had to work into the early hours of the morning to get the PPI reports done for his customers. He wasted no time in getting it completed as he understand that customers will be eagerly waiting for it so that they can bring their new "baby" home soon. I highly recommend Carl to all potential car buyers. Great Job, Carl, Thanks :)

Incredibly comprehensive review of a car. I used in car and another mob and the difference in the report was chalk and cheese. I won't be using another provider in Auckland for car inspections.

This was our second time using Carl to check out a hybrid car for us. We picked the hybrid car inspection with the mechanical inspection option and he managed to fit us in within a couple days of booking.InCar’s level of inspection is incredibly thorough, honestly going into so much detail that it can be overwhelming to try take it all in, but the report that comes along with it is concise, clear, and told us exactly what to ask for, what to monitor, and what to do.We had never owned hybrids before, so getting super-detailed checks made us feel more informed about what we were buying. We’ll be using Carl for all our pre purchase inspections going forward, he gave us real peace of mind as well as photo, video, and report evidence of what the car is actually like.Brilliant business, I recommend him to anyone in the market for a used car.

Carl from Incar Automotive was absolutely amazing throughout my EV buying process. I booked him for a pre-purchase inspection on a Nissan Leaf I was looking at, and he went above and beyond from the very beginning. Even before the inspection, he was incredibly upfront, honest, and generous with his advice. I sent him so many LeafSpy reports while searching, and he always took the time to explain things clearly and help me understand what to look out for.Thanks to Carl, I ended up finding the perfect Nissan Leaf with an amazing battery condition. His responses were always quick, and I never felt rushed or brushed off despite all my questions. If you're looking at buying an EV and want someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful, I highly recommend Carl and Incar Automotive.

Carl went above and beyond to not only inspect my car but to provide all the things I would need to consider if I purchased that car. He has deep knowledge and experience in his field and I will be recommending him to friends and family going forward. Thanks Carl for the tips along the way.

I had Carl do a pre-purchase assesment on a hybrid I was looking at. I ended up buying the car in part due to his timely, thorough and detailed report. The ammount of photos and detail he puts on his inspection reports gave me all the reassurance I needed to make an informed purchase. The quality of his work in relation to the price I had to pay, including travel cost, truly is a bargain. I highly recommend him to anyone doing due diligence prior to a car purchase.

I was eyeing a Lexus hybrid. It would cost me quite a lot (for me at least) so I was super careful. No upfront deposit, only until I got a pre-purchase inspection from Carl. His detailed reports were full of images, videos and information (if you are nerd enough to understand), also including a conclusion about the car. I especially care most about its hybrid battery. I really trust Carl's report on hybrid battery because it shows multiple information about the battery such as diff voltage between cells and internal cell resistant. Everything turned out great and I'll be getting the car, knowing it is a good buy. So totally recommended and would use him another time. Oh, forgot to mention, I used his service before on a Camry hybrid. He stopped the inspection after finding out that the car has a bad hybrid battery and would cost me a lot downstream. That also save me from paying for further inspection. This shows his integrity which is rare these days. Remember folks, post-purchase inspection is a bad idea, pre-purchase inspection is a good idea and pre-purchase inspection by Incarautomotive is the best idea. This is the way!

Highly recommended. Detailed report and fast!

Carl performed a pre purchase inspection on a vehicle I wanted to buy and was super helpful beforehand with pointing me in the direction of a reliable car within my price range. He also squeezed me in at the last minute. The report helped me renegotiate a fair price. The inspection was above and beyond any I had seen in the past and I had peace of mind buying the car without seeing it myself. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the work he did. Thanks for an amazing job! Have already recommended to everyone and will definitely be using Carl's services again.

We purchased a petrol vehicle recently and arranged a pre-purchase inspection with Carl from Incar Automotive. Carl was responsive throughout the enquiry, and managed to slot us in very quickly. The inspection was extremely thorough, and he came back on the same day with various reports, tests, videos and hundreds of photos. We also received an inspection summary detailing everything he found in his rigorous and detailed inspection. This gave us peace of mind with our purchase and we are extremely satisfied. Highly recommended, and will definitely use them again!

Absolutely superb! Efficient, reliable, thorough and great communication. I would never use another company now after this experience. 5 stars all the way; you can have total confidence in Carl's service.

Great quick service, organised time with current owner, came the next day. Very good thorough reports & photos. Puts your mind at rest knowing someone qualified has looked over the vehicle. Recommend Carl to anyone looking for a pre-purchase inspection. Thanks Carl for travelling a wee bit further. And for the communication, spot on :)

Peace of mind when we purchase with Carls reports. He is efficient, detailed, honest and helpful. We have had three reports with him and all have been invaluable.

Just Excellent - have used a few times over the last 5 years for pre-purchase inspection and every time Carl has been fantastic. I know very little about cars and Carl’s honest, straight forward advice and reports have been invaluable. Highly recommend to anyone buying a used car.

Carl is the man! He was fully booked until the following week but offered to squeeze in a pre-purchase inspection on an EV vehicle on the other side of Auckland to where he is based the next day! He sent through so much info that helped us make the decision to purchase the vehicle with confidence. Appreciate your services. Would definitely use again and highly recommend Incar Automotive.

Carl from Incar Automotive Ltd is a legend! I contacted him late on a Sat night and he undertook an inspection the next day on a Sun! The actual inspection took 2 hours and even the salesman commented on how thorough he is compared to everyone else. I received dozens of high quality photos and reports on more tests than anyone else advertises. Everything is then summarised into a final report and Carl took my follow up phone call when I had questions. There were a few findings with the vehicle and Carl even offered to follow up the next day because he had another job at the same car yard and was going to be there anyway. If you want the best inspection service likely in all of NZ, then Carl from Incar Automotive Ltd is your guy!

I used Incar for a pre-purchase inspection of Prius plugin hybrid. Because the plugin has a bigger battery I needed to be confident that it was in good condition. Carl provided a comprehensive report on the condition on the battery and the rest of the car, including a really good summary so that I was able to make a decision to go ahead based on facts and good knowledge of hybrids.

Found out about Carl and his services online whilst car hunting for my first car. He managed to squeeze me in last minute for a pre-purchase inspection and he did an AMAZING job, his videos were very thorough and easy to understand for a newbie like me. It's been 3 months since I purchased my car and I have had no problems. 10/10 would recommend, and would definitely use again.

Good service.

Carl is very professional. Used him for pre purchase inspection. He is very thorough and has excellent work ethic. We are glad to use his expertise. Thank you Carl for your advice and great vehicle report. Highly recommended.

Best experience for a pre-purchase inspection I've ever had. Carl was great to deal with right from the start with clear comms right thru the process to completion. His report was incredibly detailed yet also providing a simple to digest summary. Could not have asked for anything more in helping me make my purchase decision.

Great job, have recommended you to several people. Thanks.

Carl conducted a PPI for a Mazda CX-8 Petrol (Japan Import) that I was looking to purchase. I chose Carl largely based on the highly positive reviews on Google and other social media, and I was not disappointed. Carl was every bit as thorough as I had expected, and provided significant peace of mind in continuing with the purchase.

My partner and I both used Carl when making our purchases for new cars. He works within a quick timeframe, sends incredibly thorough reports and gives his personal advice for the cars also. Couldn’t fault him at all and would never buy a car without getting him to do a mechanical check first!! 1000% would recommend

Top top stuff! Carl is simply amazing with his extensive inspection and reports. Purchased his top of the line EV/hybrid inspection and boy was it amazing. Every little detail about the car was put into a really consie report backed with heaps of pictures and videos. By the end of it I knew exactly how good the hybrid battery was, the paint job that was done on the car, and how hot/cold the climate controls in the car could get. 100/10 would definitely recommend Carl for any sort of pre purchase inspection. He's easy to reach to and responded promptly.

Top service . So glad I used incar as the first car I got checked had a major problem.The knowledge and expertise shared from this company has been a saviour. I will recommend 100% and continue to use again in the future. Thanks so much Carl!!

Great experience and would use Carl again. Easy to arrange via text, Carl organised the inspection directly with the seller, he gave me a summary over the phone and the reports were sent that evening. Extremely comprehensive reporting - this would be a great service if you were buying a car sight unseen as Carl took 100s of photos and provided videos and reports to support his summary. Great value.

Outstanding and thorough service! Thank you Carl.

Carl performed an onsite hybrid battery pre purchase inspection. He is very professional and thorough. The inspection reports were detailed. He also accommodated my request on the same due to urgency. Overall, I am very happy with his service and will recommend him to anyone who needs to do a pre purchase inspection.

Carl inspected a Mazdaspeed that I have been wanting to buy. He did a extensive inspection and even adjusted to the clients requirements. If i were to hire a pre purchase inspection again it would have to be through Carl.

I was considering buying a Prius from out of town so asked Carl to inspect it on my behalf. Both the inspection and reports were comprehensive and detailed. The information I was provided was really helpful and cemented my decision to buy the car. Cannot recommend InCar Automotive highly enough!

I am the seller, and the buyer organised a prepurchase car inspection on my car. I was really impressed with how thorough Carl was when checking the car. He ran a very detailed hybrid battery diagnosis (with video proof), he also has a gadget for for every car part! I was so impressed. I remember a few years ago, I had organised an AA prepurchase inspection; when i compare the amount of details that these two companies checked, I highly recommend Incar Automotive Ltd. over AA. To have the peace of mind when buying a second hand car (especially through private selling), I strongly suggest that you talk to this guy before making your decision. This is a photo when Carl was running the battery test, he connected the pipe to use the AC to cool down the hybrid battery. It is really interesting to see.

Very experienced and knowledgeable inspector. Definetely knows what he is doing compare to many AA guys. Recommend to all

Excellent service , very professional. Time saver. A guide light for my purchase. Definitely will contact again for the next vehicle. Cheers.

Just had a pre-purchase inspection done by Carl on a 2017 Land Cruiser and am very impressed with how thorough and detailed his reports are. I've used other PPI specialist in the past and they maybe cover 1/8th of what Carl does. It's definitely an investment worth doing if you want to have peace of mind on your purchase!

I was looking at various Sabarus and Carl was recommended to me by a friend. What an absolute champ. He saved me from some very dodgey deals and did a very thorough inspection on the vehicle that I purchased. What a peace of mind it bought me. Keep up the great work. Many thanks Lisa

Carl is the best. And so friendly and happy to go through report. Leaves AA for dead. So thorough and such a comprehensive report. Thanks to him I will buy the car. Well worth the $

I highly recommend Carl for pre purchase inspections after receiving great prompt service, fully detailed reports and photos when buying my Toyota Hybrid. I can now drive happily with peace of mind. Thank you very much Carl.

Carl is extremely professional. Reliable, responsible and incredibly thorough. Thanks to his inspection I felt assured that the car I was buying was worthy and I also got a list of things that would need to get fixed immediately and in the middle term. Very recommended!

Pre purchase inspection for a used hybrid car. Super easy to organise, Carl was prompt with communication, did a thorough inspection and provided an easy to read report. Highly recommend

Excellent the pre purchase check on a vechicle for me was. Be assured of a expert thorough job been carried out with a quality report. Value for money Recommended definitely.

I found Carl's services thorough and helpful when purchasing my car. He was easy and honest when communicating. He went the extra mile. So appreciate you Carl.

We were so impressed with our Battery Health Check from Carl at Incar Automotive for a hybrid car we were considering buying. We received a highly detailed summary report created from several pages of detailed data from multiple tests and 60+ detailed photos showing everything that was checked including the digital dashboard functions and 20+ thermal imaging pictures of the interior. If only we had known about Incar earlier, we would have definitely chosen to do a Pre-Purchase 360° Full Inspection with Carl. Unfortunately, we only heard about them after doing a Pre-purchase Inspection check with a much more well known company, where for the same price as Incar's Battery Health Check, all we received was a tick sheet of everything that was checked, a one sentence basic report summary with a couple of sentences on various aspects of the check and 7 photos. I can't recommend Incar highly enough for anyone wanting a thorough, detailed, in depth Pre-Purchase Inspection/Check.

Excellent, thorough pre purchase testing for a hybrid car. Every testing result and data was sent through, he was available to help me easily understand them. He was very approachable and was willing to help and give recommendations. Highly recommended

Carl did a pre-purchase inspection on our 2016 Toyota Prius (Hybrid). He is incredibly thorough and compiles all of his reports in an easy-to-understand manner. Very easy to arrange with the dealership, as Carl does it all on his end. Would recommend A+++

Outstanding service from Carl who provided an incredibly detailed report on a hybrid vehicle. Carl does what he says he will do! Thank you for such a comprehensive check and honest, straightforward advice.

Karl was amazing and really knows his stuff will definitely be in contact with him again

Thank you very much Carl with your help. Very lucky to have found you! Not only do you have utmost professionalism and patience in dealing with questions, you have the most IN DEPTH vehicle inspection I and the dealer have ever experienced (spends hours on a vehicle with insightful report with hundreds of photos/videos sent through on the same day at 3:30am!). Anyone needing an inspector, you won't regret calling Carl.

Pre purchase inspection or outlander PHEV. This inspection exceeded my expectations and was very thorough. Carl was a pleasure to deal with.

I had Carl do pre‑purchase inspections on two different Lexus hybrid cars, and honestly, he was amazing. It was a big purchase for me, so I wanted to be 100% sure before committing.Carl works completely for the buyer, so I didn’t have to coordinate anything with the sellers. His inspections were insanely detailed — I genuinely didn’t expect to wake up to nearly 10 emails at 3am filled with photos, videos, and clear explanations. I have basically zero car knowledge, but his summaries and visuals made everything easy to understand and helped me confidently decide which car to buy.Choosing Incar Automotive for my pre‑purchase inspections was the best decision I made. Highly recommend.

We used Carl from Incar Automotive for an export vehicle inspection on our HEV. Excellent service. Carl produced a thorough report with plenty of photos. All this with very short notice. Recommended!

Excellent service by Carl. Has looked at 4 cars for me now , 3 of which were lemons so he stopped inspections straight away and only charged a small fee. Very honest too. Finally number 4 car was an awesome find. In depth and thorough inspection with detailed reports, tests and photos. Highly recommend would use again. Thanks!

Prompt service. Picked up a couple of issues that saved us money and hassle when we recently purchased a 2nd hand hybrid. Would definitely use this service again.Gavin

Carl helped me with a Pre-Purchase inspection on a Hybrid vehicle I purchased. He was very efficient and Informative. Great help!

Carl provides an excellent service - he inspected two cars for me. His careful inspection of the first revealed that it had been in several accidents which the dealer had not disclosed to me. Second inspection also great - confirmed no major issues with the car and I completed the sale. Carl's inspections are very thorough and reporting extremely detailed - especially for EV and hybrid vehicles.

Very thorough inspection, and I got the report quickly, even though it was really long. The report was easy to understand - Carl summarised the important parts. He was responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Very pleased with our EV pre purchase inspection. Professional service with a detailed report provided at end. Would recommend.

The most comprehensive pre purchase inspection. Will recommend Carl to anyone.

I contacted Carl to carry out a pre-purchase vehicle inspection for us on a hybrid vehicle over a weekend, at very short notice. He carried out the inspection on the Saturday morning, and delivered the extremely comprehensive report to us by Sunday morning. Fantastic service, great communication, and excellent value for money - giving us confidence to buy the vehicle knowing we've checked everything possible, and have minimised our risk. Extremely happy with InCar Automotive and will be recommending them to all our family and friends. Thanks Carl!!

This is my second time asking Carl for his help after 3 years. His inspection & reports seems more and more comprehensive than before. Really appreciated that he can look in to very detail of the car and found something that I haven't noticed. Instead of just pass or fail, he had also put his professional recommendation to you car to make sure you can aware of your car condition as well. His banned list provides a good reference as well preventing us going to some dealers that is not trust-worthy.

Good investment. It covered aspects I hadn't even considered, providing a thorough assessment that gave me confidence.

Carl truly saved the day for me when I arrived to Auckland. Not only was he thoughtful enough to stop the inspection before charging (as it wasn’t worth it for the car) he helped me search and rei spect a new car, totally rearranging his day and going out of his way to get me into a safe car on my second day in the country. He was extremely thorough and I had total peace of mind and full trust. 10/10 experience.

Carl was great to deal with and have a very detailed report and I purchased the car with full confidence.

Carl is wonderful. I never hesitate to recommend Carl to anyone. Living in Coromandel, I bought my current car based on his assessment without seeing it in advance. He is extremely thorough in his work, and I can trust his honesty (he's told me previously that he wouldn't buy a car for the price). He sends through SO much information and SO many photos of every detail of the car, top to bottom. And above all this, as a person, he's so kind and accommodating. He especially rearranged his day to squeeze in my inspection. Thank you so much Carl.

Top job. If you are going to to get a pre purchase inspection done then this is the place to come. Having used an inferior provider previously I was blown away by the quality and detail of the inspection that was carried out by Incar Automotive. I was able to confidently make a decision based on the report I received. Thanks Simon

Carl recently did a pre-purchase inspection for an EV we were looking to buy. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail he provided. I have never seen any inspection as thorough as that. It was so nice to get all those insights which ultimately helped us to make an informed decision! Highly recommended!

wonderful wonderful experience!! such an easy guy to work with, Carl is incredibly transparent and knowledgeable about what he does especially hybrids, had 2 cars checked -he didn't charge a travelling fee the second time and he fit me into his already tight schedule which was so kind. Great communication as well- he was happy to answer any questions I had and the report was provided well within 24 hours. Thank you so much for your help, appreciate it! Will definitely be recommending him to anyone I know that’s buying a car in the future :)

We recently decided to buy a car here in Auckland and opted for a pre-purchase inspection with Incar Automotive. The team was extremely helpful, responded promptly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Their inspection was very thorough, providing clear and detailed feedback on the car’s condition, which gave us complete confidence in our decision. We highly recommend Incar Automotive to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pre-purchase car inspection service.

Great service on the pre-purchase inspection on a petrol car, extremely thorough. Thanks! Gave me peace of mind and picked up some important issues to go back to the dealer with to get sorted before purchasing. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Amazing and quick service. Carl did a pre purchase inspection for me before buying a car, he sent hundreds of pictures from various parts of the car and detailed reports. Attached a summary at the end for a quick overview, indicating major and minor things that need to be fixed. Great service if you want a hybrid checked. Simply amazed by his work and how easy it was to get an appointment. Price was absolutely fine as well, with the amount of work put into it the inspection it was defiantly worth it.

Hands down the best vehicle inspection service in Auckland. Carl is awesome to deal with and is very meticulous in every aspect of the inspection. Would highly recommend Carl for checking that the car you are purchasing is up to standard.

Carl really does a great job. I spent a lot of money on a import and was worried about the condition. Carl's inspection was so detailed I knew I had the right car. Brennan McCarthy

Review for Incar Automotive: Having used Incar Automotive for two inspections, I can confidently say I have complete trust in their services. Carl is exceptionally thorough, with great attention to detail. The reports are comprehensive, featuring photographs and videos to enhance the information provided. Carl also went above and beyond to fit us into his busy schedule, which was crucial as we were competing with several other interested buyers. Without his flexibility, we might have lost the purchase. The only downside of this mobile service is that I couldn't shake Carl's hand and tell him face-to-face what a fantastic and trustworthy service he provides. 100% would recommend.

Thorough, timely, and profesional. Very happy with the service Carl provided us. We just had a Hybrid system check however next time will definitely go with a full pre-purchase inspection. The quality of the hybrid check alone is far above anything we recieved from other PPI's. cheers!

Carl's full pre purchase inspection is above and beyond my expectation. The level of details is exactly what I've been looking for. Eventually the report provided have helped me and my wife to make in informed decision to purchase the vehicle, knowing that it is in a good condition. Thanks so much Carl for your effort in making probably the best pre purchase inspection report in NZ!

I was looking at purchasing a vehicle and wanted an inspection. Carl was excellent to deal with. The turn around time was quick and efficient. He went above and beyond for the service he provides. Great communication throughout the whole process. More than pleased with the results and can recommend to friends and family for future car buying inspections! Thanks Carl!

I was drawn to Incar automotive through many positive reviews and comments online in various forums. I felt confident purchasing my second hand car after Carl's pre-purchase inspection and report. In particular i wanted to ensure the hybrid battery was in great condition as this was my first hybrid vehicle. Good value for money, extremely thorough. I'm so grateful to benefit from your knowledge and expertise to help me with my decision making. 4 weeks on, I'm so happy with the car. Thanks Carl!

Carl performed a pre purchase inspection of a 2021 hybrid SUV for me. His communication was excellent and amazing amount of photos exterior and interior. The report contained a lot of detail but was written in a way I could understand. He found an issue which could have caused me issues in the next WOF. I was able to get the seller to rectify this issue before finalising the purchase. I will definitely be using Carl for any future vehicle inspections.

Great service, would recommend

I wish I could give Carl 10 stars. Was absolutely blown away with his attention to detail. He was referred to me “as the best in the industry, the best of the best” and they were right. Even when he was inspecting my now current car, the car yard owner was saying that he’s never seen anyone so detailed - he even said he would use him from now on. I refer everyone I can to get in touch with Carl. For all my future car purchases I will definitely be in touch again. Amazing.

Very thorough inspection of vehicle, HONEST and professional mechanic. The report Carl provides is delivered on time and packed with in depth information and pictures detailing information about the car. He also summarised the report to make it more understandable for me - someone with little car knowledge. He dealt with the car yard salesman directly and also helped me to communicate to them areas that needed attention on the car. He replies quickly and travels to the location of the vehicle! Overall I was very happy that I decided to use Carl from Incar Automotive and will be recommending him to all my friends and family. 11/10 service! Thanks Carl!!

Carl is Professional and his service is well worth it. The detailed reporting recieved is class leading and has given me complete confidence in the condition of the vehicle I'm considering.

I bought a Nissan Serena ePower. Carl's specific experience and technology gave me a lot of reassurance in buying this type of car. The level of detail is mind boggling!

Great, efficient service, report was produced with immaculate detail. Incredible person who will always be in your corner. Highly recommended, thank you Carl!

Good service. Efficient and so far seems to be effective. Thank you for reviewing the car

Incar Automotive is simply the best pre-purchase inspection business around - no question about it. Carl spends several hours doing the inspection, takes literally hundreds of photos (I received nearly 500 photos), performs heaps of diagnostic tests, tests for head gasket leaks, scans the paintwork to find areas that have been repainted, uses thermal imaging…the list goes on. The report you receive is extremely clear, with items colour coded to reflect whether they are cosmetic points, defects needing repair or maintenance items that should be monitored. Carl also provides you with a wealth of diagnostic information about the car, as well as factsheets explaining what the reports mean. I’d recommend Incar Automotive if you’re just buying an ordinary petrol/diesel powered car, but particularly recommend Incar if you’re buying a hybrid or EV. Other pre-purchase inspection companies can’t test any of the high voltage components (including the high voltage battery), so if you get them to inspect a hybrid or EV they leave out a hugely important part. Alternatively, you have to get them to inspect the car, and then take it to a shop that specialises in hybrids and EVs to do the high voltage inspection, which is a total hassle (and some dealers won’t even let you take the car off their lot to do it, anyway!). Incar Automotive is fully mobile, so they can inspect all aspects of the vehicle (including the high voltage components) on-site, and do an extremely thorough job. The customer service is second to none. I texted Carl on the Sunday of a public holiday weekend and within 30 seconds to a minute later he’d texted me back to let me know he could do the inspection that Tuesday. Carl also prepares his reports overnight, so they’re in your inbox ready to read first thing in the morning. The pricing is also extremely reasonable. I simply can’t recommend Incar Automotive enough. If you’re buying a second hand vehicle, you have to get Carl from Incar Automotive to inspect it!

Brilliant support. Inspected couple of hybrid battery systems on cars that I wanted to buy. Provides detailed inspection results, and the photos he sent helped me make an informed choice. I 'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy a used car.

Carl was very helpful and approachable. He helped us with his professional knowledge and advice and helped us to decide which car we should we go for. He gave his quality time and didn't charge for that. I strongly recommend him.

If you are in the market for buying a car - Carl is your guy. Words don't do justice for the amazing experience we had. It's so nice to see great customer service in NZ...probably the best I've experienced. Carl went out of his way to give us info, responding to messages promptly and just a genuinely nice person who I will be recommending to my friends and family. His inspection report was amazingly detailed (sooo much more thorough than what you get with the likes of AA) and put our minds at ease when buying a car. Thank you again Carl - we so appreciate your help with everything!

Incar Auto services is possibly the best money I have spent. Carl was doing an inspection for me, he had concerns, rang me straight away, I have alot of respect for people who are efficient at their job and saved me a pile of headaches. Great Service.

terrible attitude, awful service. Don't even try it. Not worth the money and a waste of time.

Great, detailed. Thank you.

The pre-purchase inspection that Carl carried out on a Nissan Note hybrid for me was above anything I was expecting even after reading lots of reviews. It seems there was not a cm of the vehicle that he didn't check, test, photograph and report on. He was also very prompt in responding to text and phone queries and had the inspection carried out within 3 days of booking. I had the Option 2 inspection done and it is the best money I have ever spent. I am confident that the car I now own is going to be a safe and reliable vehicle for me thanks to Carl. Don't hesitate - book him in to check your would-be purchase!!!

Highly recommend to anyone needing a reliable vehicle check.I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of the service. The inspection was very detailed and gave me real confidence in my buying decision.

First time I’ve had a pre purchase car inspection so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I was totally impressed by how comprehensive and detailed the assessment and report was not to mention the great communication and efficient service.

We used Carl from Incar Automotive for an independent pre-purchase inspection of a Toyota Alphard we were considering buying, and I can genuinely say he made a very stressful and complicated purchase much easier for us.We are probably not the easiest customers when buying a car. We ask a LOT of questions, want to understand every detail, and because this was a fairly expensive Japanese import that we were buying as our family car, we wanted someone independent who would actually look properly rather than just run through a standard checklist.Carl was exactly what we needed.He inspected the car at the dealer, checked it very thoroughly and gave us a clear and realistic assessment. He took plenty of photos, including underneath the vehicle, which gave us a much better understanding of what we were actually buying.What I appreciated most was that he seemed interested in answering the real question: "Is this actually a good car to buy?" rather than simply producing a report full of technical observations and leaving us to interpret it.We asked him a number of follow-up questions afterwards as well, and he remained patient, straightforward and helpful.I would absolutely use Carl again for a pre-purchase inspection, particularly for a higher-value used vehicle where a quick generic inspection simply isn't enough.

Excellent service. Detailed response with a clear summary of the reports that was easy to understand. Will definitely be using him pre-purchase inspections again.

First time using Carl's pre purchase service. Very responsive to inquiries, got a thorough inspection done with photos, videos, summary of inspection.

good guy, responded well and extensive inspection done - thank u

We had used AA previously which didn’t provide info on Hybrid battery.Great service and very informative in helping me make our decision about our hybrid purchase Carl explained potential issues based on data & provided a report. Highly recommend

Incar's Carl services is excellent and worth every penny! He gives you peace of mind for buy a used Hybrid car, his inspection report are very details and hundreds of photos. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 2nd hand Hybrid car before you pay the dealer. Thank you, Carl!

Carl did a pre purchase inspection on an EV for me. Fair price and a very thorough report. I'll be using him again in the future.

Great service!!!

Carl is awesome! Super detailed and in-depth reports and goes above and beyond. Thanks so much for all your help Carl. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a PPI.

Really thorough and knowledgeable. High in demand but worth booking for your pre-purchase inspection

Carl over delivered by miles on his Hybrid battery test. Most importantly the test was thoroughly carried out and I'm happy with the results knowing Carl is such an expert in the field. We had two tests done the week before we found Carl and they were so basic and now seem unreliable in comparison to what is offered here.

Carl did an amazing job with a pre-purchase inspection for a hybrid car I was considering from a private seller. He provided a very detailed report, identified some issues that turned out to be deal breakers, and gave me excellent advice on my purchase. I ultimately went to a reputable dealership, where he also acted as the joint pre-purchase inspector for the hybrid battery. Highly recommended!

Easy communication to book the service. Provided thorough and well explained information to help understand the inspection report provided.Certainly worth the price for quality and efficiency!!

Carl was great to deal with. good communication, with an excellent level of details in his report. lot more than what AA inspection does will use again for my next inspection

I was considering the purchase of a Audi S6 but needed to find someone independent to assure me I wasn't buying a lemon given these vehicles are complicated with a lot going on in them. I did my online research and Carl reviews sounded like exactly what I needed. Carl was able to inspect the vehicle the very next day arranging all the timings direct with the car dealer. Once inspected what I got back from Carl was truely awesome, tons and tons of photos with lots of information...way more detailed than I was expecting. I had a few questions and Carl happily took the time to explain things and answer my queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to family and friends and definitely would happily use his services again. Forget the rest and go with the best!!! One happy car buyer Dean P

We were very impressed with Carl at Incar Automotive. We booked a pre-purchase inspection for a PHEV while living out of town, and Carl truly acted as our eyes and ears on the ground. Because it was a plug-in hybrid, we wanted to be 100% sure the high-voltage battery pack was healthy and had good life left. Carl went to the dealership and performed a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle—including a full diagnostic on the hybrid system—providing excellent photos, videos, and reports. His thoroughness gave us the exact reassurance we needed to proceed with the purchase. We would highly recommend anyone thinking about buying a car—whether you are in Auckland or not—to contact Carl at Incar Automotive. For any future vehicle purchases, we will absolutely be using Carl to check it out for us first!

Very detailed comprehensive report, quick service, well worth it.

Amazingly fast & in-depth service! My inspection was able to be carried out only hours after I had first contacted Carl (as he had a cancellation that worked out perfectly for me) and by the next morning I had his completed (and very in-depth) set of reports waiting for me in my email - along with hundreds of photos that covered every inch of the car. He also kept me in the loop during the whole process and was on hand to explain anything that confused me about the report. I highly recommend Incar Automotive for anyone wanting a comprehensive, detail oriented car inspection before purchasing.

Provided a thorough inspection in a timely manner. Really knows his stuff and works with integrity and professionalism. Thanks a lot for helping us buy with confidence.

Needed to buy a car urgently - Carl was amazing at squeezing in a pre-purchase inspection (especially at the moment, being so close to Christmas) and went above and beyond with detailed reports and photos of every single inch of the car. Well worth it just to be confident with your purchase, 10000/10 recommend.

Carl is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone buying a vehicle. For a reasonable fee he can save you from buying a lemon and he is extremely thorough so you have peace of mind. A+ service and great to deal with. Because he is mobile and can go to the vehicle it saves a lot of hassles. I will be using his services for as long as he is in business.

Carl at Incar Automotive is AMAZING! He went above and beyond to help us out, having travelled to Auckland from Tauranga to purchase a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV on a tight timeframe. Carl managed to fit in our pre-purchase inspection at late notice into his already packed schedule and did a very meticulous and diligent job, giving us great confidence in what we were purchasing. Would highly recommend!!

Prepurchase inspection - hybrid car Gives a detailed inspection report of the car which gives you confidence to decide whether to purchase the car or not. Overall summary can be improved to include a bit more detail. Not that I'm complaining but sometimes it's hard to understand few details in the inspection report and including them in the summary will help. Thanks a lot for your service. I'll Definitely recommend it to others. Excellent job mate. 👏

Carl recently did a comprehensive used vehicle pre purchase inspection for me. I'm currently living in Australia and the service was exemplary. Not only did he do the inspection at very short notice but I received a large number of photos, videos and diagnostic information. He tied it all together with a very full summary. Based on his assessment I did not purchase the vehicle and felt the price paid was a small investment which saved a huge possible loss. I thoroughly recommend Carl's excellent service and he is surely one of the most knowledgeable inspectors in New Zealand.

Incar was excellent - provided a comprehensive summary report plus all the scans, photos, etc. Great service and communication.

Carl is a reliable and thorough car inspector. He gave a detailed, honest report, responded quickly to messages, and even sent the report late at night. I highly recommend him! Thank you sir!

Pre-purchase inspection - Hybrid - Full inspection option. I have received a very detailed inspection and it’s worth every dollar. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service as well the speedy response. In a day of contacting, the inspection was booked and that same week the inspection was completed.

very professional, honest and helpful

I paid $285 for a vehicle inspection with Incar Automotive, as I couldn't see the car myself. Regrettably, the inspection missed significant damage, including an ugly 5mm hole in the door trim, which I noticed soon after receiving the car. Incar admitted the mistake was "unacceptable," yet refused to refund the inspection fee, despite the repair costs exceeding the original fee. Choose someone else.

The service is outstanding, friendly and very professional. The report I received was indepth and explained in easy to understand terms. Carl was happy to answer any questions I had and kept me updated. The whole process was very easy. I recommend Incar Automotive well above other vehicle inspection companies I have used in the past. 5 out of 5

Had a pre purchase inspection done with Incar. The level of detail, quality of report, and the testing that was done exceeded our expectations and made us feel so reassured and confident in our purchase. Would definitely recommend using him for peace of mind when looking at purchasing a new car.

This was an extremely indepth pre purchase inspection report on a Camry Hybrid. Costs a little bit more than an average inspection but obviously reports such as this take a lot more time. I came away confident in my purchase. Money well spent. Many thanks.

Carl will be the only guy I go to for pre purchase inspections! Great communication, lots of photos and reports and very helpful!

You will not find a more thorough vehicle inspector. Made it so easy too, Carl managed all the liaising with the dealership. Will be recommending him far and wide, and use him for all our future vehicle purchases.

Highly recommend Incar for all pre-purchase vehicle inspections. Very professional, detailed, and concise reporting. Saved us from moving forward and buying a lemon.

Used Incar Automotive due to stunning reviews and he didn't disappoint, the car from the dealer was 4.5 Japan import grade and Carl with a c found issues they needed to fix. Of course with it came a thorough test log, extensive pictures and videos and finally a summary of all of the car. The time and cost saved from the fix was alone was well worth the price for the inspection, not to mention the excellent and prompt responses to follow up questions from the report. The summary also detailed things that I should potentially watch out for while getting it serviced next, not just immediate or near term fixes. These things will likely be helpful for those buying while keeping longevity in mind. Afterwards, I went ahead with the purchase with a peace of mind. Cheers, will definitely recommend to anyone buying a used car and will definitely work with Incar Automotive again for my next used car purchase.

Excellent. Carl was able to do a pre inspection with short notice and the report was great. Found some minor issues that wouldn't had been found with AA inspection. Car dealer was happy to resolve before car purchase.

Amazing service. He checked our Toyota aqua before buying - sent hundreds of pictures from various parts of the car and very detailed reports. Attached a summary at the end for a quick overview. Great service if you want a hybrid checked. Simply amazed by his work and how easy it was to get an appointment. Price was absolutely fine as well - 240 dollars. For people like my husband and myself who have no clue about cars, Carl provides an absolutely invaluable service. Thanks for all your hard work at such a fair price!

I couldn't have asked for a more detailed, comprehensive inspection of my hybrid car. 100% recommend Carl and his work!

Is there a 6 star option somewhere? I went for a bumper to bumper inspection on a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Carl has an extreme eye for detail and showcases invaluable knowledge and experience with his craft. He also managed to slot me in as a last minute callout and I am now driving my new car with confidence. He truly stands out amongst the rest and make other inspection companies look amateurish in comparison. 2 thumbs up.

Carl, you were amazing! Thank you so much, for such prompt, efficient and excellent service :-) Your communication was superb and so was your dedication to doing an outstanding job. Thank you so much again :-) Signet Motors definately referred me to the right guy for the job! Ngā mihi Kerrie

I found Incar Automotive online, and they were also recommended by a friend who owns a garage. I booked them to carry out a full inspection on a second-hand 2017 Lexus hybrid at the dealer’s premises. They spent hours checking every detail—literally turning the car inside out—and delivered a comprehensive report overnight. I was truly amazed by their thoroughness, attention to detail, and high level of professionalism. They provided expertise far beyond my own knowledge and resolved my biggest concerns regarding the mechanical condition and hybrid battery health before I made the purchase. Highly recommended. Connie

I did pre purchase vehicle inspection, they were best in that. Better than AA. I would recommend to all and definitely use service from them again in near future. I am happy client.

We just used Carl to inspect a 2014 Lexus RX450H we are buying and was incredibly impressed with extreme thoroughness of the inspection, detailed reports, over 700 photos, every function of the car tested, thermal imaging, and super helpful summary as well. Also spoke to him on the phone. Using Carl makes the minefield of purchasing a second hand car, much less risky and you know exactly what you are getting into. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying a second hand vehicle. Thanks again Carl!

Carl was simply amazing. I was originally to do the pre-inspection report of the used car with AA. My friend recommended Carl. I was glad I went with Carl. His report was very comprehensive with loads of pictures. The defects pointed out by him were rectified by the dealer. He had the patience to answer all my questions.

Wowza. Got a full mechanical inspection and report on a hybrid vehicle. The report was so comprehensive, easy to understand, received within 24 hours of the inspection and value for money. Super responsive to text messages and an easy system to navigate. Will use Incar Automotive again in the future for sure.
