I decided to include my restoration service in my new website because it is something I have been into my whole life and have now finished the workshop to take on a small number of (high end) restorations. I have restored pretty much every Make of cars and prefer now to work on rare, unique and interesting vehicles – the ones even I can still learn from.

Pre-purchase inspections (PPI) are a must for buyers who may be considering a vehicle and are uncertain of the condition, originality or true value. This can be either a buyer who is NOT knowledgeable enough or lives too far away from California to check the vehicle himself. My reports are personalized; very technical, detailed and have no competition in this market.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

An appraisal is different from a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) in that it’s not as intricate and elaborately technical as a PPI. When a car has been restored/altered and the insured value is not sufficient anymore, my appraisals will make sure to state the fair, exact replacement value of your vehicle based on the quality of the car and parts/services used.

To take out all the guesswork I offer my unique ESCROW service when the transaction goes through my bank and *I* will pick up the car, make sure it’s in the same condition as I inspected it and make sure I end up with a signed off Title and bill of sale and it will be stored in my facility until it is shipped to the buyer. No risk anymore, a sure fire way to close any deal!

Grand Touring USA is my company where you can find high-quality (German made) spinner / knock-off tools for Borrani, Cromodora wheels (I am the sole importer into the US for these patended tools) as well as rare and hard-to-find exotic car parts (mainly Iso / Bizzarrini) I import directly from the remnants of the Iso S.P.A. factory in Varedo, Italy.
