Not all Automotive Technicians are qualified to perfrom a Pre-Purchase Inspections (PPI) and not all PPI's are the same!
Getting a partial or incomplete inspection increases your chances of existing problems missed or overlooked. Anything missed during the PPI becomes your problem after the purchase.
Be aware: There are no
standardazations for Technicians or inspection types when perfroming a PPI.
Any Techician can say they perform a PPI, but only a few are qualified.
We believe that a PPI should only be perform by Technicians that are certified on all 8 automotive areas, and are Body & Frame specialists. Most Automotive Technicians however, specialize on only on a few of the 8 general automotive areas.
A PPI should be performed by a Technician that is certified on all 8 General Automotive Areas, which is an ASE Certified Master Technician.
Only an ASE Master Certified Technician and Body & Frame Specialist is qualified to properly inspect EVERY mechanical, electrical, and frame systems.
Don't compare price, compare the qualification of the Technician when looking for a PPI.
