Pre Purchase Inspections

[Outlaw]

Generally what happens?

Let's say you've seen a car at a garage and want a PPI done on it. So you call someone in the area that can do a PPI but the car has to be taken to them. How do you arrange for the car to be delivered to the person doing the PPI?
I can't imagine the garage will let me drive the car away and return it 3-4 hours later.

What if the garage selling the car won't allow the car off their premises, are there people that will travel to do a PPI?

 

[dem maser]

some go to the garage.....

 

[Parisien]

Yes, some will travel....a bit more pricey though.....Ask at Shiltech or Migliore cars as they are your nearest

I think you'd need to find an inspector willing to travel to the point of sale. The understanding would be that the inspector would be able to get it on a ramp at least, and if they bring their own diagnostic kit that they can hook it up.

Simon from Millbrooke did my PPI yesterday, top job reasonably priced. A PPI will be the best bit of cash you spend not least because you can negotiate on the price if any minor probs are found...

 

[Parisien]

Or even major.......ie what seems a bargain turns out to be a money pit!
