Independent Advice Before You Buy

Buying a used vehicle can be stressful, especially when it’s difficult to know what’s happening beneath the bonnet. A car may appear well maintained, but hidden faults, previous repairs, or developing mechanical problems can result in unexpected costs shortly after purchase. Without a professional inspection, buyers often take on risks they don’t discover until it’s too late.

Buyers throughout Unley can turn to Mitchell Automotive’s specialist pre-purchase inspections, delivered from its workshop in nearby Edwardstown, South Australia, and also available to Mitcham, Marion, and Glenelg. The workshop works on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Volvo, and Land Rover vehicles, using professional-grade diagnostic tools and hands-on experience to assess condition accurately, without guesswork.

From engine performance and transmission operation to suspension components, brake systems, cooling systems, and auto electrical functions, every vehicle is inspected carefully with clear findings provided from the start. The team focuses on identifying existing faults, future maintenance concerns, and potential repair costs before you commit to the purchase.

At Mitchell Automotive, the goal is simple: provide honest information so you can purchase your next vehicle with confidence.

Getting to Mitchell Automotive From Unley

Reaching the workshop from Unley is a straightforward run along main roads. Head south on Unley Road to Cross Road, turn west and follow Cross Road across to South Road, then continue south into Edwardstown, where Deloraine Road sits a short way off it. The trip covers roughly 7 kilometres and takes about 15 minutes in ordinary traffic.

Drivers starting from the western side of the suburb often prefer Goodwood Road, running south to Daws Road and then west until it meets South Road. Distance and travel time work out much the same, and this option can save a few minutes when the afternoon peak builds around Cross Road.

Reviews From Our Valued Clients

I called Angus Mitchell Automotive and went and got my car fixed. Now, my VW Golf is running great after I drove it into something. There’s always some nice vintage cars at the back of the workshop when I’ve been in which are worth a look.

Have been going to Angus and the team for over five years now. It is so good to find a mechanic you can TRUST! Always honest advice, quick service and very professional. Highly recommend.

Another year around the block and we've had our car serviced here again. Thankyou for looking after our car. These mechanics are good and fair in their work, and pleasant to deal with which is important. Thankyou.

If you own a Mercedes or euro car this is the place to take your car. My experience here was their help and knowledge of the Benz was really good. I had major service done and some other things that needed doing to the car urgently. They got the job done and honestly feel like a different car smooth as Great job done by the staff.

My family have used Angus Mitchell Automotive for years. Very knowledgeable and very fair when it comes to pricing. Great service and very accommodating. Have had everything from minor services to fault diagnosis and repair on various european cars. Can highly recommend.

These guys always give my car a quality old school mechanical service or when they replace parts it is done exceptionally well and with assurance. They're always helpful, pleasant to deal with and sound things out before hand, which gives me ultimate peace of mind.

Angus and his mechanics have looked after my BMWs for over 9 years and I have always been looked after and well informed on the status of them. This included E36, E30, F30 and my current E93.
