Default Pre-Purchase Inspections in Cali?

Can somebody recommend a reputable company/person who can do a pre-purchase inspection in the Sacremento California area? The car I'm looking to get inspected is a2007 997 Turbo.

Tough to find in CA due to liability laws. The 4-5 places here in the Bay Area stopped doing them couple years back. If you find someone, post here, please.

Yeah, I used these guys last year. Two cars. Identified issues on one and recommended another. Did it all by phone and email. Has Worked out well - my shop in SF re-verified. But, yelp review not strong but I'd give 5 stars based on my two inspections.

Most, if not all will say no. The answers ranged from 'It ties up a rack from us doing repair work' to, 'we dont want the liability if we miss something'.

The caviat being if you are a current customer and they know they will be getting the future service business from you.

I would still see if Niello would do it. Its not like the other places would give you money if they missed something and it failed later.

Contact Ron at IPB Autosport. He did my PPI on my 2012 997.2 a few years ago. He's located in downtown Sacramento.
