PPI Referral for LA Area

LA Pelicans,,

I am interested in a 1992 964 near the 210 Freeway in the Arcadia/ Monrovia/ Azusa area. The car looks good so far, but want to get a PPI. Anybody have a good solid PPI recommendation for me? I live in Colorado & want to get the PPI run before I fly out to LA.

Note: A fellow Pelican from Salt Lake City gave me a great PPI referral for a 964 I was looking at in SLC. The mechanic he sent me to was out of this world in his knowledge & advice. I thought I was going to buy the car when I flew to SLC last week, but the PPI showed too many risks for the seller's price (read oil leaks & rebuilt engine integrity). The PPI saved me from a potentially bad outcome.

This time I want to get the PPI before booking a flight.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Ed

The best would be TRE in Van Nuys. www.tremotorsports.com. Unfortunately, they're a bit of drive from the Arcadia/Monrovia/Azusa area.

Try to get hold of "Dan in Pasadena." (I think that's his screen handle.) He might know of a qualified shop that's closer to the car.

Good luck!

No traffic, that's about a 30-minute drive from the Monrovia area to TRE.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've certainly heard of TRE & I sent a PM to Dan in Pasedena. I hope to get dialed in to a PPI in the next day or so. The seller is cool with a PPI on the car, but I may get some push back to find a closer shop.

TRE is a bit of a drive, but if that's the right place to go I'll make it happen.
Any other thoughts out there?

thanks,

Ed
