Title: Purchase Inspection
Post by: Cary and Don on June 19, 2013, 05:46:36 PM
Does anybody know a reputable shop in the Sacramento area that can do a pre-purchase inspection?  We are afraid of running into some shop that sees big dollars coming their way.

Don, don't know what they charge but they do all the commercial Buses and firetrucks, garbage trucks etc. I would bet they aren't cheap for service but wouldn't hurt to call them.

Don, I hope your buyer doesn't read the the BNO or the BCM all the stuff going on about engines and prices is going to hurt the resale of the oldies big time I am guessing ::)

You might consider Bus Maintenance in Williams. Ted might be available and willing to do the work.

I'm not mentioning the boards that's for sure.  No reason to run off a first time buyer with these horror stories.  LOL   If we get it sold,  we will be looking for some upgrade on the Eagle 8V71.

You mean you will be getting an MCI, just kidding

My wife and I went up to see Ted Campbell at Coach Maintenance it was closed or there were no one around. A lot of parts Buses around. Everything open doors etc. We thought it was out of business.
