Does anyone know of a local mobile mechanic? I'm gonna buy a car from a guy this weekend, and need someone to look at the car and make sure it's not a lemon.

If you need a professional european mechanic I would go with DMW Motorcars on N Shepard. Local small shops are always the best opposed to dealerships and big corporations. The mechanic is very fair on pricing and he has the most expertise on BMW’s & Porsche’s. Tommy is a BMW master technician but he can take care of any european car and I have him service my Mercedes.

Tell him roger sent you and he will give you 10% off labor and 5% off parts as a first time customer

I would not hire a mobile mechanic only because I want to drive the car to the mechanic shop have him look at it while it's at operating temperature and then drive it back to the owner. You can give the owner your license and insurance. They can take a picture of it and tell them exactly what you are doing. That you will be back as soon as the mechanic is done with his inspection.

Plus, you telling the owner exactly what you're going to do creates an opportunity for them to back out or be hesitant which will tell you everything that you need to know about that car.

Firestone does a pretty thorough pre buy inspection
