Common questions

How much is a pre purchase inspection in Norco?

$225 for most cars, pickups and SUVs, the same as everywhere else we work. That covers the 122 point check, the OBD-II scan, the road test and the report. Advanced tests that mean taking parts off the car, like a compression, leak down or combustion leak test, cost extra. We only run them after you say yes.

What is a car PPI?

PPI is short for pre purchase inspection. An inspector who works for you, not the seller, goes over the car and scans it for trouble codes before you pay for it. You get a written report and a straight answer on whether to buy, bargain or walk.

Do you inspect cars in Norco?

Yes. PPI Auto inspects vehicles in Norco, CA and the surrounding area, at the seller's home, at a dealership, at a storage lot, or wherever the vehicle happens to be. You do not have to move it and you do not have to be there.

How soon can you get out there?

Usually same day or next day. Call before you put money down. The whole point is to know what you are buying while you can still walk away.

What if I'm buying from out of state?

That is a large part of what we do. We inspect the vehicle in Norco, send you photos and the full 122-point report, and you decide from wherever you are.

What does the report cover?

A 122-point inspection, a full OBD-II scan including readiness monitors, a road test, tire and brake measurements, and photographs of anything we find. If codes were cleared to hide a light before the sale, the readiness monitors show it.
