Yes, carsales owns RedBook Inspect—but RedBook Inspect operates as an independent and unbiased inspection service.
carsales understood how valuable professional vehicle inspections are for buyers and wanted to make that service available nationwide. At the time, no provider offered inspections at scale, so they partnered with RedBook Inspect—the leading name in the industry—and helped expand its reach across Australia over more than a decade.
Today, RedBook Inspect provides pre-purchase inspection services directly to buyers, sellers, and dealers on the carsales platform. Beyond that, we’re also a trusted inspection provider for the rideshare and passenger transport sectors, the finance industry, and roadworthy inspections recognised by government authorities.
RedBook Inspect continues to lead the market with trusted, independent reports—no matter who you’re buying from.
At RedBook Inspect, we’re confident in the value we provide—but the best proof comes from the people who’ve used our service.
We’ve helped thousands of Australians avoid unexpected repair costs by uncovering hidden problems in used cars before purchase. One great example is Rav from Victoria. After booking a pre-purchase inspection through us, our report flagged a weak battery and tyres that were nearly due for replacement. With that insight, Rav negotiated with the dealer—who agreed to replace both items before completing the sale.
That’s the power of knowing what you’re buying. A detailed RedBook Inspect report can save you money, give you bargaining power, and help ensure the car you drive away in is safe and ready for the road.
Buy with confidence, skip the surprises, and protect your investment from day one.
