Can anybody recommend a good Los angeles area service shop to check out the car upon reciept, and probably perform a few services at that time?
I’m looking for someone whithin the area from, say Torrence to Santa Monica. I know there’s porobably a fair number of shops, but I’m hoping to find sombody who isn’t absolutely crazy with their prices, and also someone who can actually take the car. I know some places have months before they can see you.
Also, I would appreciate any recommendations on a shipper Fort Meyers area to Los Angeles.
Thanks.

1) You are out of your mind.
2) A PPI is PRE purchase, not Post.
3) Why would you risk it? I bought a 911 on eBay, shipped from Florida to San Diego - the floor was gone. It was a hurricane car. I should have done my homework and had a pre-inspection. It was all on me. Never again.
4) You are worried about people who are crazy with their prices for a POST inspection? Let me tell you what you should be worried about. All the POST repairs you will be doing and those crazy prices when the car arrives.
5) Fort Meyers isn't exactly a rich town. There are many scammers there. Ask me how I know.
6) Good luck, you're going to need it. With all the better cars in California, you're crazy.
