Being in Torrance, it's is a wee drive from Pomona, have it flat bedded over there. This is the most thorough shop that I know of when it comes to a PPI. Possibly, and its always a risk with a PPI at Callas Rennsport, you'll find out things you didn't want to know.

Callas Porsche Pre-Purchase Inspection Recommendations
Test Drive.
Check Engine Oil Level.
Control Module Interrogation (If applicable):
a) Run Suitable Tester & print all fault codes and applicable data
b) Check for any Range #2 (9X6) or #4-6 (9X7) over revs.
c) Check POSIP (airbag) for any occurrences-incident history (If no accidents, these should be all 0’s)
d) Check production date of POSIP Control Unit (Compare to vehicle production date)
e) Check for any valve train inconsistencies-Deviation (Deviation= Actual vs. Nominal)
f) Check TPMS wheel electronics battery age or battery specification condition (20 Months minimum)
g) Check DME Operating hours (Divide mileage by operating hours= Should be around 25-35 AVG/MPH)
h) 993- Perform secondary air injection test for rough idea of valve guides condition.
i) Check OBD-II monitors for ready status. Could indicate recent reset of the Check Engine Light.
Engine Oil inspection:
Engine Oil Filter Inspection: (Remove, cut engine oil filter open and inspect for debris)
Engine Oil Pan Inspection: (Remove engine oil pan and inspect for debris on all 9X6’s & 9X7’s)
Accident Damage/Body and Chassis Check Over:
a) Check over car complete for any accident damage.
b) Remove tail light and headlight assemblies, remove all front trunk carpeting including spare wheel, remove front cowl area covers and remove all 4 wheelhouse liners if applicable, all in an effort to further inspect for any accident or repaint damage.
c) Use electronic paint thickness gauge and check all panels for any inconsistencies.
d) Inspect all paint visually for any inconsistencies.
Mechanical check over:
a) Inspect car thoroughly mechanically.
b) Inspect for any new suspension bits.
c) Inspect car for engine or gearbox replacement.
d) Inspect car completely and note all suspect, detected and observed items. All these items should be itemized and given to the client requesting (paying) for the Pre-Purchase Inspection.
e) Perform Engine leak down and compression tests. Document all details on paperwork and invoice.
Other:
a) Are there any Recalls and or open Campaigns?
b) 997 Voltage drop issue usually caused by the Battery-Charging system cables- X3.
c) Check Gearbox oil condition during road-test.
d) Brake fluid condition with moisture measurement tool.
e) Fuel trim values analyzed.
f) OBD-II Ready status?
g) Option numbers to determine build sheet.
Final evaluation and consultation:
Document all results, email photos and data to prospective client; discuss all data with client during a telephone call or in person in an effort to help the client make an educated decision.
Test Drive with a close ear and feel about the car, remember to listen to your intuition!

You want the best????
THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR POMONA, BUT WORTH THE FLATBED TRIP OR DRIVE: For PPI, Maintenance and repairs, small and large...you can't go wrong. If I lived in LA on the Westside or the South Bay, I'd be at Callas Rennsport. Tony knows the 993 like few others. He has been at Le Mans with the Reiser-Callas Racing Team, raced 993 RSR cars. Many talk the talk, Tony walks the walk. See: http://www.reiser-callas.com
