Where do you recommend I get a vehicle inspection from a car located in San Antonio, Texas? I am interested in purchasing the following vehicle.

This posting reminds me of the funny stores Tom and Ray told about moving The Alamo 😉

Ask everyone you know where they get work done. Eventually there will be a couple with more recommendations than others. Try one of them. Call ahead for an appointment, explain what you want, and they will tell you if they can do the job for you. Get a price, too. Texas is inexpensive, you might get it done for about $100.

From the original post it lists a 2004 GMC Envoy the person says is located in San Antonio . I got the impression that the OP was some where else and this may be an Ebay type deal.
