About Southside
Two Industry Professionals
After working as mechanics and wholesalers, and later as vehicle inspectors for a large dealership group across Sydney, we quickly saw just how many poor quality cars are out there, and how often they’re paired with less-than-honest sellers.
Every day, we were inspecting cars advertised as “perfect condition,” only to arrive and question whether it was even the same vehicle shown in the photos. While some sellers were simply unaware of minor issues, others had clearly gone to great lengths to hide faults.
Over time, it became frustrating. Not just because our time was being wasted, but because we knew that in many cases, someone with less experience would come along and purchase that same car — often ending up with costly problems and unnecessary stress.
That’s what led us to create Southside Auto Inspections.
Our goal is simple: to help people buy their next car with confidence, making it the exciting experience it should be while protecting their hard-earned money from avoidable mistakes.
