RACV vehicle inspections in melbourne

Comprehensive vehicle inspections are the most complete survey of your vehicle that RACV offers. It checks even more components of the vehicle than a pre-purchase vehicle inspection.

Comprehensive vehicle inspections can be done at one of our vehicle inspection centres or onsite at a private address. If the inspection is at a private address, there must be off-street parking available on a solid, flat surface (for OH&S reasons, a solid, flat surface must be available).

In workshops, the vehicle is placed on a hoist (where possible) so our inspectors have increased accessibility and visibility of components and the undercarriage.

The wheels are removed to allow access to check the braking components and the lining size and disc thickness are measured against industry standards.

The inspection is based on a visual external examination of components only. Components are not dismantled to examine internal parts. Some vehicle faults can be diagnosed only by dismantling the engine or are intermittent in operation and not evident from an external examination at the time of inspection.
