Pre-purchase inspections
Pre-purchase vehicle inspections in Luton
Practical checks to help you make an informed used-car decision.
Mobile pre-purchase inspections at your home or workplace
The agreed inspection can cover visible condition, starting, warning lights, tyres, brakes where accessible, fluid concerns and reported faults. It does not replace an MOT or dismantling-level examination, but helps identify questions and potential next-step work before you buy. Mechapro brings the agreed work to suitable home and workplace locations, helping customers avoid a garage drop-off, waiting time and the need to arrange a lift. Send your registration, postcode and a clear description of the issue or work required so we can advise on the right starting point.
What the visit involves
For a known job, we review the vehicle information and the work requested before providing a clear quote and arranging an appointment. When the cause is not clear, we explain whether a focused diagnostic or inspection visit is a sensible first step. We do not treat every repair as a diagnostic booking.
Areas covered
Appointments are available across Luton and surrounding areas including Dunstable, Harpenden, Hitchin, St Albans and Stevenage. Tell us where the vehicle is parked and whether there is suitable space to work safely.
Price and booking
Labour is charged at £90 per hour. Diagnostics start from £80 for up to one hour, with a £20 call-out or booking payment upfront. For repairs and servicing, the final price depends on the vehicle, parts and work required; request a quote before booking.
