Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Sharyn CollinsThe process of finding a reliable used vehicle is daunting. I was very nervous about finding the right car. There are some dodgy car dealerships out there, who don't always inform you of issues the car may have, however, we have confidently purchased a car after Ray and his team did a very thorough inspection. The reports are so detailed, it was reassuring to know we are not purchasing a "lemon". I booked a same day inspection and it was completed with a few hours, full report was emailed by end of the day. Ray communicates well and is very patient. We spoke on phone, or via text and email, you can tell from his messages that he really listens. Highly recommend Ray Instant Auto Reach.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Justin BoxI needed a car inspected before a potential Purchase. Ray was extremely helpful, and very punctual. With two hours notice I have the car booked in for that afternoon and by the end of the day it had been fully inspected and a report given. I’m not sure I have experienced a business so prompt and so professional before. He is the new GOAT For vehicle inspections before purchasing a car.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Trong TranA business that truly helps people! Ray was kind, honest, and professional, and kept me updated throughout the process. I made a mistake on my end coordinating with my mechanic, which caused some inconvenience, but Ray handled the situation with great understanding and even covered the cost. I really appreciated the support and would highly recommend this service.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Ayesha KhanI had an excellent experience with Instant Auto Reach. I required a pre-purchase inspection for an older vehicle located in Melbourne, and many mechanics I contacted were unable to assist with vintage cars. As I’m based in Sydney and couldn’t view the vehicle myself, having a reliable and thorough inspection service was extremely important. Ray went above and beyond my expectations, providing a comprehensive and honest report that included detailed photos and videos. He also followed up with an informative phone call to walk me through the findings and answer my questions. Ray was both friendly and highly professional throughout the process, and his thoroughness gave me great confidence in my decision. Even the seller said; "He was a lovely chap". I would not hesitate to recommend Instant Auto Reach to anyone needing a trusted pre-purchase vehicle inspection.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Luca DeloguBooked in for a pre-purchase inspection and couldn’t be happier with the service. The mechanic was thorough, honest, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. They picked up on things I definitely would’ve missed and gave clear advice without trying to upsell anything. Super professional and worth every dollar.
