A photo-documented PPI for used European cars, done at Precision European Auto Repair on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. The cheapest insurance you will buy on the vehicle.
A pre-purchase inspection costs a fraction of a single repair, and it is the difference between buying a car and buying someone else's deferred maintenance. We scan every module, not just the check-engine light. Intermittent codes tell a story about how the car has actually lived.
Then the fundamentals: oil and coolant condition, the cooling system as a whole, leaks at the usual suspects, suspension and brakes, and tire wear that hints at alignment or worn parts. We also look for the things a seller would rather you missed: panel gaps, paint that hints at prior work, and a service history that either adds up or does not.
You do not get a vague pass or fail. You get a picture of what the car will cost to own over the next couple of years, so you can walk away or walk in to negotiate with numbers. More of that thinking lives in Buying a used European car? What we check first.
