Good place for a PPI in Englewood Cliffs, NJ?

Hi guy's,

I'm thinking of purchasing a BMW that's located in Englewood Cliffs, NJ but I'd like to get a PPI done on it at a BMW dealership or a very reputable BMW service garage.

Would any of you happen to have a recommendation for me that is in the Englewood Cliffs area?


Let me know. Thanks for the help guy's!


Patrick

Tenafly is a bmw dealer, I'm pretty sure they will give you an excellent idea what's going on with the car. Just be weary with some cars from NJ, a lot come from auto auctions and don't necessarily have clean titles.

BMW of Tenafly wouldn't work with me. They said they don't want to get involved in a private purchase and the only way they would do a PPI on the car I'm looking at is if the current owner made the appointment himself and then they would give him the results and then it would be up to him to fax them to me. I wasn't comfortable with that.

Motorworks West, the guy I spoke to on the phone sounded like a nice guy but they can't do a PPI for me until next week. I need something by this week so I told them I'd get back in touch with them if nothing else works out.

Bimmer Clinic - I contacted them but Bill was busy at the moment and the guy I spoke to took down my name and number and said Bill would call me back.


Are there any other good places in NJ for a PPI? Thanks for the help, guy's.

Go wit Bill, from Englewood Cliffs... Bimmer Clinic would be a 35 min drive. Just take Sylvan Ave towards Ft Lee and jump on the NJ Highways. You can hit 80/95 from there.

Difeo in Tenafly sucks anyway.

Still haven't heard back from Bill. I would like to go with him though. I hope the seller is willing to drive that far.
