Writing false claims on report
A potential buyer sent Redbooks to inspect my vehicle.
The guy inspected the car and said for its age it's in great condition. As I will be supplying a RWC for the potential buyer any issues that arise I will have rectify and keep the buyer in the loop.
My car has never leaked oil in the 5 years i have had it. He spotted some old oil marks on the bottom of the engine and stated on the report " oil leaks possibly unroadworthy" I put my 4 kids in my car and always look after it.
Literally if its pressure washed and cleaned there would be nothing there.
Now potential buyer may not go thru with the purchase of my vehicle.
Good work redbook keep up the great work.

It's not about falsifying results it's about using the correct wording on your report. The car has had a RWC now to be sure. They had found no issues with the area described by your inspector. Maybe s... Read more

Top quality and professional
This has been my second experience with Redbook and I'm happy with their service.
Emal from the Dandenong South branch was thorough and accommodating, he even picked up on my blown license plate light which Toyota missed during my last 3 services.
After I replaced this bulb I was able to bring it back for reinspection the same day.

George Koulentakis did an amazing job
Amazing no biasinspection. After emailing the report, got a call from George and spend a lot of time explaing the report in detail. Just WOW. H e eally cared about the situation that we are purchasing a used car and what all buyer should know. So impressed with his work. I am glad I opted for Red book before buying the car.

Car has been taken off road by manufacturer after preinspection purchase by Red book.!!!!
We had a pre inspection purchase performed by this company. Omg where do I start. So a warning light was on dash prior to purchase. We questioned this . We were told it was a number plate light defect. However when report came through nothing was reported on the paperwork. The car was noted as fine with no defects or problems. We trusted the report.
We purchased this car on the report offered by red book inspect. No faults it said. A few days later we decided to take this to another mechanic to check the warning light. Within 5 minutes he adv...Read more
ised us there were 4 issues with the car, 2 that were resolved with a simple service and the other 2 could not be cleared. We were told to take the car to the manufacturer. Next day we are at the manufacturer, who has removed this car off the road as it is not roadworthy (even though it had a certificate), and a major technical problem with the engine. It is deemed unsafe to drive. Red book have denied any liability and say that there was no warning lights at the time, but the manufacturer are advising they were there ( as we know they were) and should have been picked up in a preinspection. So my advice ? Do not use this company, they do not know what they are doing. Red books advice is to get our warranty from the dealer but had the inspection been performed correctly in the first place, we would not need to get any warranty from anyone as we would never had purchased. Stay clear from this company. They are incompetent.2 comments

Car Inspection Report
I thought it important to pass on my thanks for the high quality customer service provided by the Redbook Team in dealing with a refund for a Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection, which had to be cancelled as the car got sold. This matter was promptly and efficiently resolved without a fuss and Sienna was a breath of fresh air in customer service.
At the other end of the spectrum I spent 3 hours on hold with the Big Name Insurance company today - they could learn from Redbook Inspect what customer service is about.
Our brief telephone conversation today was also a very positive customer service interaction, well done Sienna, please forward this email on to your management team if you wish.

Tremendous service
I've used Redbook inspect several times now and can't fault the service or professionalism. Inspections are thorough and carried out quickly and the follow up call from the inspector to discuss their findings is invaluable. Can't recommend more highly.

Misleading and not worth the money
Purchased a motor vehicle from a dealer with a redbook inspection .
The Vehicle scored 4 out 5 . Every panel had deep scratches 2 lights were not working had 2 oil leaks . Showed my Real mechanic the supplied photos and found out the scan tool used cost $150 on EBay. Redbook tried to weasel out of all complaints. Don't bother getting inspection done . The worst experience I've ever had, disgusting company
