2–3 Hour Deep Inspection
Not a 45-min visual walkthrough
Jody Jackson:
Your Tampa Mobile Luxury Auto Expert
With an extensive professional background in European auto diagnostics and dealership-level service, I built AVA to give buyers the ultimate leverage. Buying a high-end used car should be an exciting milestone — not a stressful gamble.
From a used Porsche inspection in Tampa requiring a specialized PPI with PIWIS scan to a deep module diagnostic used car inspection on an AMG, I bridge the gap between complex mechanics and absolute consumer protection, bringing advanced tooling directly to the vehicle.
Why Specialized European
Pre-Purchase Inspections Matter
Generic National Chains
-
The Inspector
Gig-economy contractors dispatched by proximity. Unknown credentials, no European specialization.
-
The Equipment
Cheap, standard scanners sourced from local auto parts stores. They completely miss manufacturer-specific fault codes or cleared diagnostic histories.
-
The Focus
Volume-based model resulting in rushed 45-minute visual walkarounds.
-
The Report
Generic app-generated "Pass/Fail" PDF offering no negotiation leverage.
Absolute Vehicle Assessments
-
The Inspector
ASE Certified Master Technician with specialized European dealership experience — directly.
-
The Equipment (Heavyweight Tooling)
Dealership-level diagnostic networks. We provide exact PPI with PIWIS scan Tampa (Porsche OEM) for over-rev data, BMW ICOM diagnostic pre-purchase inspection, and Mercedes Star Diagnosis pre-purchase inspection. We access deep manufacturer-specific modules and cleared code history.
-
The Focus
Boutique, low-volume approach — exhaustive 2–3 hour deep-dive on a single vehicle, every time.
-
The Report
Personalized, actionable DVI with parts & labor estimates — designed explicitly for negotiation leverage.

Typically within 24 to 48 hours of booking. We prioritize fast turnarounds because great cars in Florida sell extremely quickly — you need answers now, not next week.

We accept all major credit cards, Zelle, and Apple Pay. Payment is collected via a secure digital invoice before the physical inspection begins.
Do you coordinate logistics directly with the seller?
Absolutely. We manage all scheduling, access clearances, and communication with private sellers or dealerships directly so you do not have to negotiate entry barriers.
How long does the physical inspection take?
Depending on tier and vehicle complexity, on-site evaluation takes 2 to 3 hours — covering physical assessment, module scanning, road testing, and report compilation.
