Anybody friends with a tech at Advantage BMW of Midtown in Houston that I can hire?

I am purchasing a car from a private seller. I would like to hire them to go inspect the car for me. Let me know as I need to have this car looked at before it gets picked up and shipped to me. They would be compensated for their time. Thank you!!!

Can't advise on a tech, but another option is to have the seller take it to a specialist Indy shop. A few that come to mind nearby are Bavarian Machine Specialists, Swiss Garage and Motorwerks of Houston.

The really good guy I worked with at Advantage is gone. There is a guy named Stacy that was recommended by some other people but I haven't worked with him and the guy that I work with that is okay is Robert Garcia. Also, Bavarian Machine Specialists is good, ask for John. They are pretty booked at times though.

Thank you! The seller has elected to bring his car to Motorwerks.

Just a side note for anyone reading this thread - Advantage BMW in Houston does not do PPI inspections. Weird, huh?

Np, I was there just last week to get a tech inspection done. You can make an appointment with them online and they're very responsive on fb chat. Good luck!
