The question
Im looking to buy a used car and I will be hiring a mechanic to come with me to look at it. My question is, will a mechanic be able to check over the car properly (underneath) at the location of the car (owner's driveway)? Thanks

Hi Colin,
Clearly it would be much easier for the mechanic to do a thorough check if the car was on a proper ramp, but try to get permission from the owner to at least jack up each corner of the car in turn so the wheels/suspension can be inspected. At the end of the day, it's up to the mechanic and how happy he is with the situation.
Best of luck
