Can someone recommend a mechanic in So Cal (LA) to do a pre-purchase inspection?

Thanks

So Cal is pretty big hahha, where is it?


and WHAT did you buy?

My preference for mooty's list would be GSR or Hergenshiemer and I'd add BBI to that list (not sure they do PPI though, typically very very busy).

For a dealer, Circle Porsche did one on a car I sold and they did a very thorough job, the buyer was pleased.

mooty

circle is in SD no? that's part of mexico, not SoCal.

Spyerx

No! Circle is in the LBC (405 & Lakewood blvd). Very small dealer, very good service. Alberto is the service manager and tops. I do not like the other porsche dealers in socal. Too much 'tude.

I'll 3rd GSR - did PPI on my car - very thorough, honest and reasonable pricing.

mooty

got you.

do not go rusnak

i went to hergesheimer for a PPI and a leak down. $600 later, one of the techs diagnosed a bad viscous coupling so i passed on the car. a couple days later, the owner put the car on a rack and proved the awd worked. so my point is i won't take any more cars down to hergesheimer for PPI or leak down. peter from stuttcar on walnut in pasadena is good, though this shop is modest.

Ive heard good things about GSR

It's in LA, and it's an F360.

Scratch my reqs. They don't do f-cars that I'm aware. Thought we were talking GTs!

I'm happy to take it for a test run through the santa monica mountains. I'll even do it free of charge and buy the gas. :-)

GMG does some ferrari work. They did my PPI and was overall pleased with the report and findings. (i.e. i've found no surprises in the year I've had the car)

mooty

hum.... i know dan at speed gallery does some ferrari work. but not sure other shops will ppi ferrari.

You'll find a more experienced audience at Ferarri Chat.
