We strongly recommend you perform an inspection on any vehicle prior to placing a bid with GTS Auctions. We provide two options for vehicle inspection: Private Inspections and Pre-Purchase Inspections using our independent inspection agent – CarInspect.
Private Inspection
Private inspections are welcome any time during our opening hours and involve you attending our site to inspect the vehicle yourself. You may also bring anyone else to help inspect the vehicle with you.
For any enquiries, please contact us on 1300 946 487. Please keep in mind the following rules during all private inspections:
- Cars can be started but must not be moved.
- You must not damage or alter vehicles in any way.
- You must wear closed toed shoes at all times whilst in our facility.
- You must bring a valid form of personal ID for all members inspecting the
vehicle. - No OBD scanners are allowed.
- Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
For greater peace of mind, you can buy a Pre-Purchase Inspection report from our fully independent inspection agent – Carinspect. They will inspect the vehicle on your behalf and provide you with a comprehensive report including the following areas: Engine, Interior, Exterior, Wheels, Tyres and Body Condition. They are also authorised by GTS Auctions to test drive the vehicles and will scan for any fault codes that may be present. This ensures that you have a full understanding of the vehicle condition, including how it runs and drives, which greatly reduces the buying risk. GTS Auctions encourages all buyers to purchase a Pre-Purchase Inspection prior to bidding on any vehicle.
