Are repairs suggested by the mechanic during an inspection carried out directly after the inspection?
If possible a mechanic will endeavour to fix the issue identified during the inspection time booked for. In many cases, though, new parts will be necessary to fix the problem. Should this be the case, then the mechanic will quote you for the labour and parts needed to fix the problem.
When you agree with the quote then the mechanic will try and source the parts and fix the problem at a later time. In some cases, though, due to non-availability of the parts or a shortage of time needed for the repair, it might mean that the mechanic will have to return on another day.

I want to buy a car but the License Disc has expired, can the mechanic still test drive the car at a pre-purchase inspection?
No, the mechanic would not be able to take the car for a test drive. Driving a car with an expired License Disc would be illegal, the driver could be prosecuted in court.
What if, at an inspection, a mechanic happens to identify that additional parts are needed to fix the car?
In this case Michanic will give you a quote for the Michanic will endeavour to get the parts and return at another time you agree to. In some cases, due to non-availability of parts in your area, this might mean that the mechanic will not be able to return until another day.
