Porsche Service
Pre-Purchase Inspection
A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is the smartest money you can spend before buying a used Porsche. We give the car an honest, top-to-bottom evaluation — mechanical, cosmetic, and documented — so you negotiate from knowledge instead of hope. This is one of the highest-value services we offer, and it's exactly the kind of work the local dealership sends our way.

Symptoms
Signs it's time
- You're about to buy a used or collector Porsche
- A private-party or out-of-state car you can't evaluate yourself
- A listing that looks great but has thin service history
Process
Our approach
- Full mechanical evaluation — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, cooling
- Diagnostic scan for stored and pending fault codes
- Road test to assess drivability, noises, and shifting
- Underbody and leak inspection on the lift
- Cosmetic and paint-condition notes, prior-repair indicators
- A written summary of findings with photos and prioritized concerns
Why it matters
Why marque expertise matters
Model-specific knowledge is everything here. The issues that matter on a modern Cayenne, a new 911, or a water-cooled classic like the 944 are completely different — and we've seen them all. We tell you which problems are normal wear, which are deal-breakers, and roughly what the fixes cost.
Can you inspect a car at a dealership or private seller's location?
The most thorough inspection happens here on our lift with our diagnostic equipment, so we recommend having the car brought to the shop. Call us and we'll help you work out the logistics.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Plan for most of a day so we can be thorough. Schedule ahead — PPIs are time-sensitive when you're mid-purchase, and we'll do our best to fit your timeline.
Is the work warranted?
Yes. Every job we carry out is covered by our 2-year warranty on parts and labor.
Do you have experience with my model?
We have been an independent Porsche specialist since 2002, and nothing else. The local Porsche dealership refers work to us — especially on older models.
