Quality Cars, Honest Service

Whats involved in our inspections?

Not all used cars and 4X4s meet high standards, which is why detailed inspections are key to ensuring reliability. Our pre-sale vehicle checks go beyond basic safety tests to assess performance, mechanical integrity, and roadworthiness.


Unlike private sales, where hidden problems may arise later, our inspections provide peace of mind with fully transparent reports. Our pre-sale inspections include:

  • Mechanical checks – Engine, transmission, suspension, and key performance features.
  • Safety assessments – Brakes, airbags, seatbelts, and tyre condition.
  • Performance testing – Smooth handling, fuel efficiency, and roadworthiness.
  • Transparent reporting – Clear insights on the vehicle’s condition for informed buying.


If you’re buying a used car or 4X4 in Alice Springs, make sure it has been professionally inspected. Our team at Dave’s Used Cars also provides rego checks, servicing, and mechanical repairs to keep your car running smoothly long after purchase.
