Bumping this thread rather than starting a new one.
We've settled on a car, given a deposit, sent in a clearance request (won't hold my breath on that coming before transfer date) and scheduled a transfer date (since TD is still not doing walk ins (>_<)).
So before the handover and settlement of remaining cash we need an inspection and many have suggested HKMI, I WhatsApp'd them last night but couldn't get one for today, and the guy only texted in Canto. Their inspection is $1350 but an additional $500 for "computer" surely this means the car's onboard computer and not a simple OBDII test right? Cause I could buy an OBDII reader for that price. It's a 2010 Japanese car so I don't think it has a complex onboard computer? Any one know if the "computer test" is really warranted?
One thing about HKMI I didn't like was them asking for advanced payment. None of my experiences with services here have given me confidence in such as transaction being a good idea.
Any other suggestions for an inspection service in a garage, preferably one near Wong Tai Sin?
Cheers!
