Recommend a shop/dealer for pre purchase inspection
Hello i'm looking into buying a 05 S2000. Want to do a pre purchase inspection for the car. Called C&C but Kurt said he is not doing this any more. Any other shop/dealer you guys recommend? on the west side would be better. Thanks very much

Kurt did recommend John Eagle Honda and they charge $118 for an inspection without Compression test or leak down test
Asked a friend who knows cars and he says 76K miles should be OK no need to do compression test
any opinions?
Take it to a dealer?

I would highly recommend a compression/leak down test. Turns out mine had a bent valve when I bought it.
