How It Works
Schedule
Contact us with the vehicle details and location. We coordinate directly with the seller to schedule the inspection.
On-Site Inspection
Our team inspects the vehicle systematically — body, undercarriage, engine bay, interior, and a test drive.
Documentation
Every finding is photographed and noted. We flag items of concern and give you a complete picture of the vehicle.
Report Delivery
You receive a written report within 24 hours. We're available to walk you through the findings and help you interpret them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you inspect a vehicle located out of state?
We can arrange third-party inspections through our network for vehicles outside the New York area. Contact us with the vehicle's location for a quote.
Does the seller know what you're looking for?
Yes — inspections are transparent. A seller who won't allow a PPI is a meaningful red flag in itself.
How long does a PPI take?
Standard inspections run 1.5–2 hours on site. The Collector PPI with compression testing runs 2.5–3 hours.
