About SMGLR Auto Checks
Buyer-side inspections by the person you actually speak to.
SMGLR Auto Checks is a Melbourne mobile pre-purchase inspection service built for used-vehicle buyers who want evidence before they hand over money. You deal directly with a qualified, dealership-trained and EV-certified mechanic from booking through inspection and report explanation.

Why SMGLR exists
Clean listings can hide expensive problems.
Most buyers only see the seller's best photos, a short test drive and whatever the seller chooses to mention. SMGLR was built to put evidence back on the buyer's side: diagnostic evidence, photos of significant findings, road-test feedback, PPSR checks and clear buyer advice before the vehicle becomes your problem.
- We work for the buyer, not the seller or dealer
- We look for material risk, not just cosmetic presentation
- We explain limitations instead of pretending a mobile inspection can see everything
- We give you evidence you can use when deciding, negotiating or walking away
What we stand for
Evidence first. Straight answers.
Direct from the first message
Choose WhatsApp, text message or call, then deal directly with the inspector handling your job from booking through the report explanation.
Clear support levels.
Every inspection includes a direct inspector call with the report. Plus adds post-inspection support for follow-up questions about the findings and next steps.
Buyer-side only
SMGLR is not paid by sellers or dealers. The inspection is written for the person taking the financial risk: the buyer.
Clear evidence
Your report is supported with photos and videos of key findings, diagnostic information where available and a direct explanation of the important findings. Premium also includes a full diagnostic scan of accessible modules with detailed engine and transmission live-data review where supported, interior and electrical-function checks, visible underbody and leak checks where safely accessible, and a full interior and exterior walk-around video. Plus adds the Full Body & Paint Assessment Report, Vehicle History Check, Repair & Maintenance Cost Guidance, Negotiation Assistance and Post-Inspection Support. A full road-test video with Meta smart glasses is available as a +A$20 add-on with any inspection package, where safe, legal and permitted.
Mechanical and road-test checks
Engine bay condition, leaks, brakes, tyres, suspension, steering feel and road-test behaviour where safe and permitted.
Diagnostics
SMGLR Essential includes a core fault-code scan, 12V battery and charging-system checks and warning-light review. Premium adds a full diagnostic scan of accessible modules plus detailed engine and transmission live-data review where supported.
Body, history and buyer risk
SMGLR Essential covers basic visible body condition and PPSR status. Premium adds odometer consistency analysis. Plus adds the dedicated Full Body & Paint Assessment Report and Vehicle History Check.
How the inspection feels
You get more than a checklist.
A checklist alone doesn’t explain what a finding means for your buying decision. A proper buyer-side inspection tells you what matters, what needs further investigation and whether the risk makes sense for the vehicle's price.
Before
Send the listing, location and concerns. We confirm the service, access and timing before payment.
During
The vehicle is checked at the seller or dealer location, subject to safe access, permission and mobile-inspection limits.
After
Your full comprehensive report with photos (and videos on Premium & Plus) is delivered within 1 hour of inspection completion, followed by a phone call from your mechanic on the important findings, risks and next steps.
The honest limit: no mobile inspection can guarantee a perfect vehicle or see through covers, sealed components or hidden internal faults. SMGLR's job is to reduce your risk, show what was found, explain what could not be confirmed and help you make a better buying decision.
