However, not all PPI's are the same. There are huge differences between
pre-purchase inspections.
Today's autos are very complex and most Automotive Technicians will specialize on a few of the 8 general automotive areas. Therefore, most Automotive repair Technicians are NOT qualified or certified on every component and system (including Body & Frame) to perform a comprehensive PPI.
Getting an inspection by an unqualified Technician may be cheaper, but it will increase your chances of missed or overlooked existing problems. Any problems not discovered during the PPI becomes your problem after the purchase.
A comprehensive PPI should only be performed by Technicians that are certified on all 8 general automotive areas, and are Body & Frame specialists.
Only an ASE Master Certified Technician
which is also a Body & Frame Specialist is qualified
to properly inspect EVERY mechanical, electrical, and frame systems.
Since 2001, Auto P. I.'s Master Technicians and Body & Frame Specialists have helped Austin's used car buyers avoid purchasing vehicles with existing problems and previous accident damages.
A pre-purchase inspection must evaluate every mechanical, electrical, body & frame component.
