Looking for someone to do a Pre-Purchase Inspection in SoCal

#1 Post by Nate Feduska »

I'm looking for a mechanic or dealer to conduct a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) in Southern California near Pomona for a 2013 911 Carrera Coupe. I'm looking to have a full mechanical and body/paint inspection. Any suggestions? Thanks! Nate

Off the top of my head, I'd contact the PCA chapter for that region to see if they have any recommendations.

You might try:

911 design
5505 Moreno Street
Montclair, CA 91763-1656

(909) 982-9111

They're close to Pomona, have a full body shop (with a frame alignment jig), and they've maintained and modified old cars, new cars, and race cars. Loren Beggs has had some success in IMSA.

Over in Pasadena (not nearly so close as Montclair) there are three good shops in two blocks:
  1. Scientific Motorcars
  2. StuttCar Service Inc.
  3. House Automotive

Come to think of it, if you contacted the local PCA Chapter (San Gabriel Valley Region) you'd probably contact me or our incoming President, who owns Scientific Motorcars.
