Hey guys, looking at purchasing a terrano in whangarei.
Does anyone up there know a local garage up there that do pre purchase inspections? Tried aa but they only go up there once a fortnight and the next one is all booked up.

don't know many up there but maby one of the 4x4 workshops eg arb guys Union Car Spares. at least the 4x4 guys may know what to look for compared to the AA (who i hear are fairly useless).

Scott at Union Car Spares doesnt have a workshop or do any machincal work hes just a wrecker who also sells four wheel drive accessories. Good guy and might be able to point you in the direction of a good machanic.

Off the top off my head I cant think of any 4x4 specilists in whangarei. I used to use Clyde Street Auto for all my work on my truck - hes just your adverage joe machanic but I found him to be good.

Autocare in Dent street http://www.autocare.co.nz/ used to promote prepurchase inspections and do warrenties on the inspections, ie if anything goes wrong in the 1st six months they pay of it. They did my Legacy a few years back pretty indept inspection but from memory they a pretty pricey thou.

Thanks for that, will give them a call tomorrow. Gave VINZ a call just after i posted and they said they only check the exterior and not the engine What's the point in getting a pre-purchase inspection if your not gonna look at the engine

Actually Scott has a brand new 3 bay workshop plus a tyre shop and a bay dedicated to 4x4 accesories. He has had a workshop for about the last eyar and has just bought the workshop next door and refitted it. I'm sure he will do a pre-purchase inspection.

Steve at Autocare is also very good. Steve does my WOF's etc and Scott at Union is a good mate and major sponsor.
