Good easy process quick turn around
Gave Me Confidence to Buy, but Report Lacked Detail
I recently used Ride Inspect for a pre-purchase inspection of a 2024 Jayco Renault Master motorhome.
Overall, I found the inspection worthwhile and it gave me confidence to proceed with my purchase. The inspector spent a considerable amount of time inspecting the vehicle, completed a road test, provided around 100 photos, and followed up with a phone call to discuss the results.
I did identify one inconsistency in the written report relating to alternator charging of the house battery. After I queried it, the inspector reviewed the report and issued a corrected version. I appreciated that they acknowledged and corrected the mistake rather than dismissing my concern.
My only reason for not giving five stars is that the written report didn’t quite match my expectations of what was advertised as a “Premium” inspection. Some sections are quite generic and don’t include measurements or detail that I expected (for example tyre tread depths, battery voltages, or more detailed documentation of some of the advertised checks). Customers should also read the disclaimer carefully, as the inspection is visual and non-invasive rather than a comprehensive workshop inspection.
Despite those comments, the inspection achieved exactly what I wanted—it identified no significant mechanical or habitation issues, gave me confidence in the condition of the vehicle, and the inspector was professional when I had questions. I would use Ride Inspect again, although I’d encourage them to expand the level of detail in their written reports so they better reflect the service being advertised.

The experience was really good
The experience was really good, we got mechanic Adam , he was awesome and made a well versed report. Booking process was really easy, definitely recommend it.
Definitely the right man for a pre purchase inspection.
Amazing experience with Abdul in Queensland. I was a potential buyer from melbourne for a skyline. Car looked showroom quality in photos. Contacted Abdul to go and assess the car with a pressure test on engine and boy am I glad I did. Mechanically the car was fine. Aesthetically it was horrible. Safe to say Abdul really did me a solid. You're in great hands! Really couldn't recommend him more to anybody or especially interstate buyers. Really knows what to look for and what his doing. Quick turn around and a lot of photos. An overall amazing experience.

As someone new to Australia
As someone new to Australia, contacting Ride Inspect to inspect a car for me was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I had no idea where to start, what to look for, or who to trust.
Not only did they inspect the car thoroughly and provide me with a detailed report and complete peace of mind, but they also helped me negotiate the price with the seller. On top of that, they guided me through the entire RWC and transfer process, making everything so much easier and stress-free.
They even recommended trusted mechanics for future servicing and maintenance, which was extremely helpful for someone unfamiliar with the system here.
I highly recommend Ride Inspect to the community. Their service is professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. They are absolute lifesavers and deserve to be everywhere.
Quick and easy to booking process
Quick and easy to booking process, just a shame the mechanic didn't call before heading out to do the inspection as there was one area of concern that I had regarding the vehicle.

Had a great experience with Ride…
Had a great experience with Ride Inspect, especially Shaz. The inspection was thorough, professional and gave me a lot more confidence before buying the car. Shaz explained everything clearly, pointed out the things that mattered, and was very easy to deal with throughout the process.
The report was detailed and balanced — not alarmist, but honest about what needed attention. It really helped me buy the car with confidence and know exactly what I was getting into. Really appreciated the quick turnaround as well. Would definitely recommend Ride Inspect and Shaz to anyone looking at buying a used car.
Ride inspect
The report from and discussion with the mechanic who conducted the inspection was very informative. This gave me confidence in my purchase. I was also happy with responses via email from the ride inspect office. I found the phone number listed did not connect.
Thorough report and quick turnaround!
Very easy to organise the inspection. Got the report much quicker than I expected. The report was detailed and thorough. The photos really showed the problem areas, but also the good. Would definitely recommend Ride Inspect!!
