Why mobile
Why mobile makes sense in Lakeway
Getting from 620 across Austin to a decent shop and back isn't a quick errand — it's easily half your day. In Lakeway, time costs more than most repairs. We park in your driveway, do the job, and you're done.
What we see
Common issues in Lakeway
Lakeway's used vehicle market skews toward higher-end and European vehicles — BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover — where the inspection matters more because the potential repair costs are higher. We routinely find deferred maintenance on these vehicles: oil leaks, worn suspension components, brake wear that's been cosmetically obscured, and cooling system issues.

Questions
Common questions
Can you do a pre-purchase inspection in Lakeway, TX?
Yes. We come to wherever the car is — the seller's driveway, a parking lot, wherever it sits. We inspect it and give you a written report with findings and cost estimates.
Do you come to the seller's location or mine?
We come to wherever the car is. For private party sales, that usually means the seller's house or a neutral location. You don't need to get the car to a shop.
Do you work on European and luxury vehicles for PPI?
Yes — BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Range Rover, Audi. We have the right diagnostic tools to pull manufacturer-specific codes, not just generic OBD. This matters a lot on high-end European vehicles.
