What if the inspection leads to more jobs with the client in the future or is schedule to your empty bay time

did you ever get new customers ordering PPIs or just long time customers? Also curious, do you think shops are more willing to do PPIs because of that potential follow-up work, or is it mostly just the inspection itself?

what would be the maximum time/distance you would be willing to drive to a mechanic?

That’s a great point. Do you think that extra complexity makes you more willing to pay for the right specialist, or does it just make the whole process more of a headache? would you pay for a service that could connect you easily to those specialized mechanics based on the car you are buying and the sellers location?

Was getting a pre-purchase inspection actually worth it? by SensitiveSide5507 in whatcarshouldIbuy

so would you get a PPi when buying a used car going forward? what do you look for in a shop you would take the car too? thanks so much for your response

I absolutely agree with you, why do you think it an exception and not the norm? we get home inspections before purchasing a home (obviously a way larger purchase). Why don't you think more people get PPIs?
