Default Pre purchase inspection Vancouver BC

We are looking at a couple MK1 TTs this week in the Vancouver area. Can anyone recommend a good indi shop for PPI? (We're from out of town)

I have lots of wrenching experience on older VWs and other vehicles, but this will be our first Audi. I have a good idea about general things to look for but was thinking maybe an inspection would be a best bet.

Thanks for any help!

Looking through the search, I've seen that PG Performance in Surrey has been recommended in the past for indi work.

Can anyone recommend any other shops?

I have seen 3 in the Seattle area if interested, although I know that is a bit of a drive.

I have done similar research and only two come up as highly recommended within the Audi community in Vancouver. One, you already found is PG Performance in Surrey. The other is RPI in Richmond (RPI Equipped!) .

Well, that didn't go so well.
Looked at many TT's, saw some nice ones, but the one I wanted left me with some questions and I couldn't get a PPI on short notice.
The good shops listed above all were three weeks out for appointments. No way to get a quick assessment.
Came home empty handed. Long drive for nothing. (we live on the other side of the Province in a small mountain village)

So, now I'm looking for recommendations for any shops in the Vancouver metro area that might have a good rep for general European car service. I'm hoping to arrange a PPI before our next shopping trip.

Any ideas?
