Our first inspection was cancelled mysteriously, however the follow-up one happened on time and results came back very swiftly.

Awesome service …
I couldn’t recommend Redbook inspection enough! What a great service, really exceeded my expectations, I paid for the $300 package and Adam who was assigned to me went over absolutely every detail of the car, I received something like 120 pictures from hose fittings/ connections, tyre tread, beneath the vehicle, interior/ exterior, I also got a phone call from Adam upon completion of inspection as well as a full detailed report to my email! Guys are legends, would definitely use again and would happily recommend to anybody looking to purchase a new or used car

Very good service love the detailed report with photos and videos.
The fact that it’s done by a third-party completely removed from the transaction makes it a more trusted system.

Great report from the inspector
Just wanted to say thank you for the inspection on the Mazda CX-5. The report was clear, detailed, and gave us confidence to move forward with the purchase.
Really appreciated your professionalism, quick turnaround, and honest feedback, it made the whole process much smoother for us.
Would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable pre-purchase inspection.
Thanks again!

Customer service staff might require more training
A component that I purchased is missing. Upon enquiry with customer service, the initial response was that they could not see the item purchased, despite listed in the invoice I received... otherwise, experience was good.
