Default Seattle area shop for PPI?

Anyone know of good place in the Seattle area to get a PPI and compression/leakdown test?

I actually had a guy for a previous PPI tell me that they wouldn't do a compression test because it is too difficult and expensive and if there were any engine problems it would show up on when they run their checks and tests. I think he was blowing smoke. What do you think? B.S. or legitimate claim?

Thanks,

EZ

Call Henry at B&H Motorsports in Kirkland, WA. He is a great guy and I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. He helped me out immensely when my car was acting up.

EZZY: Are you looking at a Seattle car? If so I hope you don't mind me asking if it's at a dealership or a private sale.
