Klaus blew me away with attention to detail. Over 50 pages in his report and all completed on the same day of the inspection. The purchase of the car would have been a very costly mistake. Not all immaculate looking cars are problem free!

Klaus was exceptional and helped me save thousands on my purchase. Found evidence of an accident, sent the most thorough report I’ve ever seen, just fenomenal service. Please do yourself a favor and buy this service, you cannot be as thorough even if you think of yourself as a car person.

Pre phurchase inspection

We were recommended Klaus through the dealer we purchased our car from for a pre phurchase inspection.
We called on Monday and he was able to do it the very next day.
We have bought a few cars now and always had an inspection done prior. Klaus report was the most detailed we had ever had. Attention to detail was spot on. We were buying interstate so having such a detailed report was invaluable. It's important to note Klaus definitely works for his clients not the dealerships.
Communication afterwards was also appreciated. Klause went through all the questions we had and happily explained anything we asked. Highly recommend Klause, you won't be disappointed best investment money well spent!

Thank you so much for your trust and kind words. I am always a little concerned when a dealer recommends me, as I have no affiliation with any, and do not want a possible client to think there is some collusion between dealer/inspection service. I ONLY work for my clients as you have realised, but when a dealer is confident enough to recommend me, then it is usually a sign they are confident in their vehicles, and appreciate the professionalism that I provide. I am glad you were able to get some of the minor points addressed and that you have an accurate assessment of the car to allow you to make your decision, especially since you are interstate. Stay well.

Pre-purchase inspection of a mazda 3

I contacted Klaus for a pre-purchase inspection of a Mazda 3 and was very impressed with the level of detail in his report. He provided clear, practical recommendations, which I was able to take back to the dealer for repairs before finalising the purchase. Overall, Klaus delivered excellent service and I highly recommend him to anyone considering a used car.

Excellent expertise and service

Klaus did an amazing job diagnosing faults with a car I was about to buy. He saved me a lot of money. Furthermore, he gave in-depth advise on future buys and what to look out for. I’ve never used pre-inspection before, but won’t ever buy another car without it.
Will definitely use klaus and German precision again - 10/10 worth every penny

Best service - german precision

Klaus was absolutely brilliant in conducting a pre-purchase inspection for a vehicle, on a very short notice. Inspection report was very detailed with every aspect and clear photos taken, good advice and clarification provided upon any doubts or questions, couldn’t have gone for anyone better than German Precision, great service!

My second inspection with klaus!!

This is my second inspection with Klaus, what more can I say? He's such a professional, very detailed and thorough. Also added bonus is that he is extremely patient and very helpful. I've been searching for a car for the last 6 months and he helped steer me in the right direction throughout that time with great advice, until I finally landed on one. Ace Ace Ace.

Bmw x3 2016

Klaus provided us with exceptional service. Not only did he complete a most thorough inspection of the vehicle we wanted but compiled a 56 page report to go with it . Following that, we had several questions about the car therefore rang him on multiple occasions. He happily clarified and answered all our questions ( big and small) and went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re seeking a comprehensive inspection from a knowledgeable person Klaus if for you.

Klaus undertook a pre-purchase inspection for a car I was buying interstate. Klaus provided me a comprehensive inspection report, which reflected his experience and meticulousness.

Beside his technical excellence, Klaus is vey personal and provided me with valuable advice while purchasing and transporting the car.

I highly recommend Klaus for anyone buying a used car and needs a peace of mind.

A must for every used car buyer

Klaus is your best friend to have when looking at buying a used car. His experience speaks for itself. His report is thorough and detailed and his recommendation and honest assessment will guide you in making the right decision . Best buying decision is getting a pre purchase inspection done by German Precision. Thank you Klaus.

Second time lucky?

My second inspection by Klaus who previously saved me from making a very expensive mistake. Prompt, courteous service, great communication and a comprehensive report, I cannot recommend German Precision Prepurchase Inspections highly enough.

It was my pleasure to assist you with this inspection Bill. Hope the transaction finalised well and the dealer attended to some/most/all of the items mentioned. Stay well and all the best.

Highly recommended!!! Looking for buy a focus st. Saw one at the dealership, it was a good condition, but still want a peace of mind for a used vehicle...
So I decided go for an inspection. I was amazed of the inspection by Klaus, it was professional, clear photos, detailed in inspecting, good explanations of report.....
Klaus is not just doing his jobs, he is sharing his knowledge and opinions, he is paying attention, he is listening to the need of customers.
Thank you German Precision!!!

Excellence

One of my very few reviews
However, engaging Klaus for a vehicle inspection was simply an experience of excellence ...missing in the automotive industry today. Klaus communication , enthusiasm, and vehicle report was gold star and best practice standards. My son and I will not use anyone else now. #Kozi

BMW 435i. Thank you Kozi for your respectful review and appreciation. I am passionate about what I do and aspire to ensure that my clients receive the best possible inspection. As in your case, many clients are interstate or overseas, and simply relying on carsales or dealer/private seller descriptions can be fraught with despair. I'm glad we were able to allow you to see the car for what it really is, and make your own decision on whether it suits your requirements. In this case it did not. All the best in your search - speak soon and stay well.
