I am very, very, very distrustful of auctions. lots of people get good deals, but one bad deal can cost dearly.

Glad you are asking about a PPI.


Here is another thought for finding recommendations:

Go to "Member List", click on that
Go to "search this forum, select "Advanced Search". click
Enter "Houston" for location...bottom of the page select "sort by" last visit.
Search

This will give you a list of current participants in Houston. PM 10 of them for shop/PPI recommendations. Or pick the 10 top people also with over 50 posts...etc

:thumbup:

Instead of hoping someone passes your thread and responds, you can take it to them (in a polite way...)
Thank you so much, I got 3 good recommendations, I will call them tomorrow and schedule an appointment with one of them

Couple of guys recommended Little shop for Motors, I called Edward and he was a great guy. He asked me to get the vehicle to his shop and dealer dropped of the vehicle and these guys did a very good check and email me the report right away with couple of suggestions like oil change, wheel alignment etc.

Cost was $150.00 and Did not want me to pay until he sees the vehicle because he said if its not worth to check if it looks like junk he will send the vehicle back and not take my money.

Highly recommend this please

Little Shop for Motors - Cars Repair, Maintenance and System Diagnosis
