PPI Recommendations in the SF Bay Area
I found an E63 wagon that I am thinking of buying. Since it is out of warranty, I wanted to have a good PPI. Any recommendations for a good shop in the Peninsula area. Or is it better to have it done at a dealer. The closest one around is Autobahn Motors in Belmont or Mercedes of San Francisco in South San Francisco.

And any particular things that I should look closely at?

Thanks in advance.

I had mine done at stance lab in SSF. Generally pretty happy with their work. Also seen really good work done at OCD detailing in Fremont.

PPI = Pre Purchase Inspection

Not sure OCDetailing would be the right place for that.

My suggestion is do some research and determine who you will have doing maintenance, and then have them do the PPI.
