    Hi,

    I have an odd request for my first post.

    There is a used ferrari that i'm looking at in Beverly Hills and the selling dealer won't allow me to take the car for a PPI (insurance purposes as cars have been damaged at dealers before) but they will allow me to send in my own mechanic and will give them access to a lift to look at the car.

    I'm on the east coast so i don't know any local mechanics.

    I searched and saw there was a Ferrari shop in Bev Hills called Blackhorse LA run by Carl but he isn't picking up his phone / not sure he is open right now w covid etc.

    Does anyone knows any other local f car mechanics I can ask to do a paid PPI for me?

    Thanks alot in advance

    Try Craig from Fast Cars, he's a sponsor here. Not sure if they do outside PPIs but worth a shot. He did a PPI on my 355 and the major service along with valve guides. @calder1

    I agree, try Craig at Fast Cars. He has done a PPI for me in the past and has serviced several of my Ferrari.

    I did not have a good experience with Carl at Blackhorse. He did a PPI for me that was useless and woefully incorrect. When you have questions, he will never pick up the phone.

    That sounds like a helluva guy. I am trying to get ahold of Carl or GTO engineering to look at my 456 right at this very moment - interestingly enough.

    I know 2 people who have had substandard work done by GTO. That's all I'll say.
