Common questions
Do you inspect cars in San Jose?
Yes. PPI Auto inspects vehicles in San Jose, 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 San Jose, send you photos and the full 125-point report, and you decide from wherever you are.
What does the report cover?
A 125-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.
