The Work
★★★★★ Trusted by Houston car buyers
“Saved me thousands. Found flood damage the seller never mentioned. The report paid for itself ten times over.”
“Buying from out of state — couldn’t make the trip. Jeff inspected it same day I found the listing. Clear verdict in 24 hours. Total game changer.”
“The dealer said the car was perfect. The report showed $3,100 in issues. I negotiated $4,000 off. Best $199 I’ve ever spent.”
We are your eyes on the ground in Houston.
You haven’t seen it. You haven’t touched it. You’re making a major financial decision based on photos and a seller’s word.
Most of our customers haven’t even seen the car in person.

Add Deal Review — $75
The inspection tells you what’s wrong with the car. Deal Review tells you whether the price is right.
Without it, we give you the condition report and our honest take on the vehicle — but we won’t weigh in on what you should pay or whether the deal makes financial sense. That’s what Deal Review is for.
With Deal Review added to your inspection, we’ll go over:
• Whether the asking price is fair for the car’s actual condition
• What we think you should pay based on what we found
• Whether this deal is worth pursuing or walking away from
Includes a brief 10–15 minute consultation after the inspection.
$75 add-on — mention it when you contact us to book. Does not include negotiation, financing, or paperwork.
⚠️ Good cars sell fast. If you’re serious about a vehicle, don’t wait. Text us today — inspection slots fill quickly.
Everything you need to know before reaching out.
No — and you don’t need to be. Our inspector works directly with the dealership. All we need is the vehicle’s location. We handle the inspection start to finish, document everything with photos, and deliver the full report to your email same day.
That’s a red flag. Any reputable seller should welcome an inspection. If they refuse, that tells you something important about the car. We’d recommend walking away from that deal.
Same day — typically within 1–2 hours after the inspection is complete. You’ll receive it by email.
If you’re buying a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Tesla, Porsche, Lexus, or any premium or electric vehicle — yes. The Pro Inspection includes a paint thickness scan to catch hidden body damage, a brand-specific diagnostic tool, and an EV battery health check. Standard tools don’t cover these vehicles properly.
Yes. We inspect at franchised dealerships and independent used car lots throughout Greater Houston. Houston PPI is completely independent — not affiliated with any dealership, manufacturer, or repair shop. We report only to you.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment and you’ll receive a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment are non-refundable. If the vehicle becomes unavailable, the same 24-hour window applies.

Yes — this is one of our most common requests. You don’t need to be in Houston. We inspect the vehicle in person, document every issue with photos and a written report, and give you a clear verdict: Buy it, Negotiate, or Don’t make the trip. We are your eyes on the ground in Houston.
