These terms apply when you book a pre-purchase inspection with PPI Mechanic or use ppimechanic.com. By booking, you agree to them. Last updated November 13, 2026.
PPI Mechanic sends a certified mechanic or auto specialist to inspect a car before you buy it, and sends you a condition report. We inspect the car and report what we find. We don’t do repairs or take parts apart.
You pay when you book. Current prices are on our pricing page.
Your booking must match the exact year, make and model of the car being inspected. We use it to send an experienced mechanic who knows that car. If the car doesn’t match your booking, the mechanic may not be able to do the inspection, and we’ll contact you.
Reschedules are for at least 2 days later, since the next day’s schedule is already set. Need it sooner? We can do a rush reschedule for the same-day rush fee ($50 to $100, depending on the inspection), if a mechanic is free. Request a new date on our reschedule page.
Bad weather may move an outdoor inspection to the next open time.
The inspection is a visual and hands-on check of the car’s condition on the day we see it. No inspection can catch every hidden problem. The report is not a warranty or a guarantee of the car’s future condition, and we are not responsible for problems we could not see or that develop after the inspection. The decision to buy is yours.
To the extent the law allows, our total responsibility for any claim about an inspection is limited to the amount you paid for that inspection.
Please give accurate information when you use our forms. Prices, services and these terms may change. The version on this page at the time you book applies to your booking.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
