Inspections & Valuations

Know exactly what you're buying — or what you've got.

Independent inspections and written valuations from a workshop that has nothing to gain from telling you it's all fine.

What's wrong — and what it costs to fix

Comprehensive written reports with photos

Same workshop, same standards every time

Waikato-based, family-run

Four ways we help

Pick the inspection that fits.

Whether you're about to buy, getting ready to store, or need it in writing — every job is the same workshop, the same standards, and a plain-English report you can actually use.

Who needs this

Three good reasons to call.

If you're about to buy a motorhome, get it inspected first — by someone who isn't the seller. A $395 inspection has saved buyers tens of thousands more than once.

If you've owned yours for a while, a seasonal check before a long trip (or before storage) catches small problems before they become big ones.

Need a written valuation for insurance, a sale, or estate purposes? We can do that too.

What you can count on

An honest read on the vehicle — in writing.

  • No sugar-coating — we tell you what's wrong and what it'll cost to fix.
  • Comprehensive written report with photos, sent within 48 hours.
  • Inspection at our workshop or, for a fee, at the seller's location.
  • Same workshop, same standards, every time.
Good to know

Questions, answered.

Still not sure which inspection you need? Give us a call — we'll point you the right way.

Because the seller has every reason to tell you it's fine — and we don't. An independent inspection finds the damp, the dodgy gas work, the worn running gear and the quietly-failing fridge before you hand over the money. We tell you what it'll cost to put right, so you can negotiate hard or walk away. More than once, that report has saved a buyer tens of thousands.
A full pre-purchase inspection is typically 2–3 hours on the vehicle, plus time to write up the report. Seasonal and habitation checks are usually 1–2 hours. We'll give you a clear timeframe when you book, and we won't rush it.
A plain-English summary you can actually use: mechanical condition, habitation systems (damp, gas, electrical, water and appliances), structural and safety findings, and photos of anything that matters. Where we can, we include an indication of likely repair costs. It lands in your inbox within 48 hours.
Yes. Our workshop is the easiest and most thorough option, but if the RV can't come to us we can inspect on-site within the Waikato — and further afield — for a travel fee. Get in touch with the location and we'll sort the details.
