A PPI is the cheapest insurance on a used BMW, Lexus, truck, or daily Civic. We look at leaks, rust in Florida's unique way (undercarriage, brake lines, subframe), accident clues, tire date codes, scan data, and the test drive if we can legally do it.
You get a clear go / caution / walk-away. We are not there to kill the deal. We are there so you are not surprised by a timing-cover leak two weeks later.
Book the inspection before you book the wire transfer. Evening and weekend windows are common because that is when cars get shown.
Questions about this job
- Can you inspect a car at a dealership?
- Usually yes. Tell the seller we are coming. Some lots limit test drives; we still inspect what we can access.
- Will you tell the seller what you found?
- The report is yours. You decide what to share and how to renegotiate.
