Buying a car?

Buy a car with confidence

If you are looking to buy a second-hand car, make sure you are not getting a lemon!

Take the guesswork out of the quality and have the cosmetic bodywork and structural integrity professionally checked before you purchase. Only real automotive experts can immediately tell if the car has been in an accident. They will be looking for existing damage, whether the car has been repaired properly and advise you of what to expect with wear and tear moving forward.

At Gino’s we are dedicated to giving you quality service according to your needs. Therefore, we have 3 different pre-purchase inspection options available, depending on what level of service you would like.

Body Inspection

$150

Professional inspection of the body and paintwork of the car (from the ground) to check for cosmetic and structural damage.

Body & Chassis Inspection

$300

Comprehensive hoisted inspection of body, paintwork and chassis.

Full Inspection

$500

Comprehensive body, paintwork, chassis and mechanical check. Ticking off everything you need checked.

The damage to my vehicle caused by another driver was remedied in Gino’s Garage with an excellent outcome though the work took rather a long time, and after delivering the damaged car for repairs there was no courtesy vehicle to accompany me home which is always offered when one takes in the car for servicing. I am still awaiting to hear from Gino’s Garage Manager re. another minor damage to a front headlight which I did not notice previously and which he promised to discuss with the RAC Insurance .read more

The staff were kind, courteous and genuinely helpful. They kept me informed of every stage of repair as it was carried out and it resulted in a top quality job completed well within the estimated time frame. I cannot praise them enough for their balance of good old fashioned customer service combined with just enough modern technology to offer customers a hassle free and pleasant experience.

I was very impressed by the professionalism and the regard for the customer's comfort and satisfaction by the staff at Gino's. I especially liked the way they didn't laugh when I asked a silly question! The finished job made the car look new (which it certainly isn't). I am a very happy customer.read more
