The team were able to do the inspection on the same day(!) after we looked at the car first thing in the morning. Ray was super responsive and gave clear advice. We were able to get a few things fixed with no cost as a result of the report. Would definitely recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Myles Johansson⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding same-day service – truly above and beyond! I can’t recommend the Instant Auto Reach team highly enough. I urgently needed a same-day inspection for my Mercedes ML350, and while other providers advised I’d need to wait 2–3 days due to the distance from Yarraville to Rye, Instant Auto Reach made it happen the very same day without hesitation. What really impressed me was the commitment — travelling all the way from Werribee to Rye to ensure the inspection was completed on time. That level of professionalism, reliability, and customer service is rare. If timing matters and you want someone dependable who genuinely goes the extra mile, Instant Auto Reach is the one to call. Highly recommended. Thanks again, guys — you’re the reason I confidently purchased this vehicle! All the best, MylesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Jo-Anne MaherRay and his team are very professional, great communicators and the inspection report turn around time is super fast.

Ray was so meticulous he went above & beyond to be thorough in all aspects of my pre purchase check. A breath of fresh air to know he has your back. Highly recommend A1++Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on oska cookThese guys deserve more than 5-stars if I could give them a higher rating. I was considering buying my first car today through Facebook but had little to no knowledge if the car was worth the price. Through booking Instant Auto Reach at a late hour of the day (5pm) to inspect the car before purchase I got assigned a highly professional and straightforward employee named Ray. I could not thank him enough as I would have spent thousands of dollars getting the car fixed and was being scammed. Ray came at short notice, offered clear and concise advice whilst also being empathetic to me (the buyer of the car). If it wasn’t for Ray I would have been scammed and for this I’d highly recommend any last minute inspections with honest advice to be done with Ray. Thank you so much for your services.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Rebekah HoldenFantastic service. Went above and beyond to assist us in the purchase of a carTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Jaeger RolaVery happy with the service! I was recently involved in a crash, and selected the Standard Inspection Package to assess whether my vehicle was worth repair. After experiencing how easy it was to get my car assessed, quoted, and repaired, I'd definitely say it was worth the money. The Mechanic was able to arrive on site and complete a full report within two hours of my booking (which was pretty quick considering that my car was sitting in some towyard all the way in Bernalla). Despite have absolutely zero understanding of cars, the provided report allowed me to confidently communicate my concerns to other repair shops. It was even able to nail the estimated quote that would be provided by dealerships. They also provided additional support after the initial booking, which was super appreciated. Shout out to Ray the Mechanic, very glad to have come across your service!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Mel SI highly recommend Instant Auto Reach!!! After calls to 7 car pre inspection businesses, this was the ONLY one able to help with any kind of urgency (with most needing 48hrs notice). Instant Auto Reach were able to meet same day and provided a thorough report, with photos instantly! As a female buying an old second-hand car, off facebook (arghhh), they made a daunting experience positive. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. Armed with the facts, I was able to negotiate confidently for my sons first car, which we are very happy with. Thank you so much!! A +++
