Our certified mechanics specialize in high-performance German vehicles—Audi, BMW, Porsche, and more. A proper car inspection can reveal hidden issues and help you make an informed decision.
Whether you’re buying from a private seller or an Audi dealership, a thorough inspection at Audi standards gives you the confidence to move forward—or walk away.
Why Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection for an Audi?
A pre-purchase inspection protects your investment. Modern Audi vehicles are complex, and even well-maintained cars can hide expensive problems. Our team understands the unique service history, design quirks, and failure points that affect these cars.
Common mechanical faults we uncover:
- Engine carbon buildup
- DSG transmission delays
- Leaking suspension components
- Worn brakes, tires, or battery
- Check engine lights cleared without repair
Our inspection gives you negotiating power and peace of mind. Don’t rely on a clean Carfax alone—inspect the car with help from an independent expert before you buy.

Independent vs Dealer Audi PPI
An Audi dealer may offer a limited car inspection, often skipping engine diagnostics or refusing to flag costly repairs. At Poudre Sports Car, we work for you, not the dealership or seller.
Why buyers trust our independent mechanic:
- No pressure to sell or certify the vehicle
- Full transparency with detailed inspection reports
- Experience with Audi, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen
Our pre-purchase vehicle inspection often uncovers potential issues missed by a typical auto dealer.

We Inspect All Audi Models
Whether it’s a daily driver or a performance build, we’ve seen it. Recent inspections include:

We welcome out-of-town buyers, remote vehicle purchases, and coordination with sellers across Colorado. If you’re buying sight-unseen, we’ll help you make an informed call.
