Got a question? We've got the answers.
Here are some of the more common questions we get. If you have something specific to ask please get in touch via 0800 457 005 or at hello@myautoshop.co.nz.
How soon after I place my order will I get my report?
When you confirm a booking with us via our website or over the phone, we lock in the day and time of the inspection. Reports are usually available for review within an hour or two of the scheduled start time. If there is a delay caused by weather, the sellers availability, or traffic, we will typically let you know if its expected to be more than a couple of hours. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team on 0800 457 005 if you have any questions.
What happens if they sell the vehicle I ordered an inspection on?
If the vehicle sells before we get there, we can either provide you a refund or put your order on hold while you look for another vehicle. When you find another vehicle you’d like us to inspect, we’ll transfer the details and send our inspector right away!
The car I am interested in doesn’t have a current WOF. Will you still inspect it?
We are able to complete all of the elements of the inspection except for the road test. It is worth noting that this is an important part of the inspection but there remains a lot of mechanical components we are able to provide assurance around in any case.
How heavy can my vehicle be to have a Pre Purchase Inspection?
We can inspect vehicles up to 3 tonne in weight.
How long does a Pre Purchase Inspection take?
A My Auto Shop Pre-purchase Inspection takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour 40 minutes, depending on which modules are selected. If you are a buyer, please make sure you advise the person who owns the vehicle of the booking times.
