Specifically For Performance & Special Interest Vehicles

Buying a performance, exotic or supercar is a significant purchase.

You could be spending 6 figures or more to purchase the car.

No doubt you will want to ensure that the car you are looking at buying is in the absolute best condition possible.

We at Dodson Motorsport are experts in building and servicing performance, exotic and supercars in Auckland.

Who better to have a look at your new potential ride than the people who work on the very same vehicles?

We known the ins and outs of these cars, what to look for and how to test them to ensure there are no hidden problems or potential issues that could arise in the near future…

Which, on cars like these, could mean up to tens of thousands of dollars in repairs.

Whether you are looking at a modified JDM or Euro, a pristine classic or a new supercar, we are here to ensure that you make a good purchase.

What We Check With Our Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspection

Our pre-purchase car inspection will go over the car in detail – inside, outside, underneath, in the engine compartment and more.

We also scan the car (unless it’s a classic without a computer) to ensure there are no error codes and that everything electronically is up to scratch.

We will go over every corner of the car to ensure that you know exactly what you are buying.

Our pre-purchase inspection includes:

Engine Check

We thoroughly inspect and test the engine to ensure that it is in good shape and look for any potential issues that may arise. We also look at the service history in detail to ensure everything has been done properly in the past. We will also scan the vehicle for any engine related fault codes (scanning capabilities are dependent on vehicle make and model).

Drivetrain & Mechanical Check

Along with the engine, we inspect and test the transmission and drivetrain to ensure everything is in order. This can include running diagnostics on DCT type transmissions such as DSGs and PDKs to ensure all is well.

Suspension & Underbody Check

We cover the entire underbody and suspension of the car looking for rust, corrosion, worn bushings and ball joints, and anything else we can find.

Exterior Check

The exterior of the vehicle is inspected in great detail to see whether the car still retains its factory finish, if it has ever been in an accident or repaired, and if there is any rust or other damage to be aware of. We also carefully inspect the paintwork to make sure that it is as advertised and has been taken care of, and if there are any protective coatings.

Interior Check

The entire interior will get closely inspected to find out if everything is in order or if there are hidden problems. That includes the entire cabin area, under dash and in the boot or luggage area.

Road Test

Finally, we take the car for a quality road test to ensure that it drives like it should and that there are no other issues to take note of. Once we are satisfied with the road test and have completed the other steps, we will write out the comprehensive report.
