Collector and enthusiast cars
Modified, restored and long-stored vehicles need a different eye than a standard used car. Originality and the quality of prior work are the questions.
Service Area
Inspections in Pasadena
Independent pre-purchase inspections across Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Altadena and the northeast foothill communities.
Local Context
Buying in Pasadena.
The foothill communities have a high concentration of well-kept, low-mileage vehicles and a strong enthusiast and collector presence. They also have a lot of dealership inventory moving along the Colorado Boulevard corridor and in Glendale.
What I Watch For
Common issues in this area.
Low-mileage does not mean no-maintenance
A garage-kept car that barely moves can have perished seals, aged belts and old fluids despite a tiny odometer reading.
Canyon and grade driving
Regular foothill and canyon driving is hard on brakes, cooling systems and transmissions.
