Detailed mechanical inspection from the experts

A State Roads mechanical inspection provides you with a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle's mechanical condition.
Mechanical checks are made on the motor, gear box, differential, and drive line to give you a comprehensive
assessment of the  vehicle's mechanical health.
It is this level of detail that truly sets us apart and gives you the peace of mind to buy your next vehicle with complete confidence.

 

Why Use State Roads and not your local mechanic?

Firstly, we’re full time vehicle inspection specialists. It’s what we do. And if you want the best advice you go to the experts. All our inspectors are fully qualified mechanics and vehicle inspectors. Your local mechanic may not be and are unlikely to have our depth of vehicle inspecting experience.

Secondly, State Roads is an independent third party. Our objective is to give you a fair, accurate and unbiased assessment of the mechanical condition of your vehicle. Our job ends there. We have nothing to gain from subsequent mechanical repairs and are therefore your most trustworthy source for independent mechanical assessments.

"A huge thank you to Wim, the inspector who recently checked over a Jeep Grand Cherokee on my behalf.  His professionalism and commitment to providing the customer with exceptional service was most welcome and not always present in this industry.  After speaking with Wim on the phone immediately after the inspection he gave me his honest opinion on the Jeep and later called me in evening to clarify his findings because he believed I was in a quandary with my decision.  His dedication to his job and his passion towards it are second to none.
