You can basically get any mechanic to check a car for you, as long as the seller agrees to take the car there for you. just show that you are really interested so they don't feel like they are waisting their time.

I like to choose a Honda specialist because they can better tell you hidden conditions on the car. I rang Hondacare up and made a booking that was convienant for the owner. There was no log book and the mechanic was able to tell that the car missed 30000 and 40000 service because a few parts had not been adjusted. Only a Honda mechanic could tell you this level of detail

hope this helps
