Default Anybody near Newport Beach that can put eyes on a car?

Anybody in or near Newport Beach that could take a look at a 2015 Panamera Turbo S for me? It seems that none of the dealers do PPI's anymore, so at the very least maybe suggest someone to look over it?

Thanks!

I am in Laguna Beach, 15 minutes away. I could check it out for you, I am a stickler for detail. Currently own 2017 Macan GTS and 2007 997.1 Turbo.

I bought my 997.1TT from Newport Beach earlier this year. I had my PPI done at Auto Strasse and it was the best PPI I have ever commissioned. Robert even found time to slot me in earlier than originally scheduled so I wouldn't lose the deal. Are you saying that the Porsche dealers don't allow their cars to be sent to an independent shop for a PPI?

This is a person to person sale. Dealers have gotten very squirrelly about PPI's because of liability or the perception of liability. I've seen it before where dealers won't do it because they're afraid of getting sued and missing something.

You can get a PPI done by McKenna Porsche. If you are interested PM and I will put you in contact with Mel at McKenna.

Hope it helps.

I live in Newport. I will gladly help. The best place for a PPI is BBi Autosport. Half the price of other shops as well. https://www.bbiautosport.com/ Ask for Charles. PM me if you need me to go look.

@cincyScott: We have a Porsche tech in the LA area who could travel out to the car for a full inspection. Please let us know if we can help. Thanks!
