Mobile inspection vs taking the car to a workshop, which is better?

[Keith Bowen]

I'm trying to arrange a pre-purchase check for a 718 Cayman and the seller is only free on weekends, so taking it to a shop is a hassle. I've seen some places offer mobile inspections where they come to you, but I'm worried they might not be as thorough as a proper workshop with a lift. A colleague told me to visit this page for expert vehicle assessment services and said they do both, but I want to hear from real people who've tried mobile. Did they catch everything? Or should I just insist on taking the car somewhere? Any advice would help.
