Testimonials

Customer Satisfaction

I just had comprehensive inspection done by Ernie & Steph-Lee . Fantastic service-professional, knowledgeable & friendly , with a detailed explanation afterwards of the findings & recommendations. I can strongly recommend them.

Truly Professional Team!

The inspectors were knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend their services!

Investment Well Protected!

Thanks to Auto Check, I made a smart purchase decision. Their detailed report gave me confidence!

Ernie is brilliant!

He has been working on all my cars for many years so it was an absolute no brainer to ask Ernie to inspect the vehicles when I was due for a new car. If it wasn't for Ernie I would have bought myself a lot of issues! Ernie went out of his way to help me find the perfect car and I am beyond happy with what we decided on. Thank you Ernie, you are a legend!
