Default Need to get my car inspected

In order to get my insurance to fully approve my car I need to get it inspected by one of their authorized companies. My insurance is going to pay for the inspection so I figured this is a good chance to see if theres anything wrong with the car and get it taken care of with the warranty. I just can't decide who would do a more thorough inspection. So here are my choices Tropical Performance or the local Meineke. What do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure, as I've done this a few times, the inspection is just a photo of the car to make sure you don't have pre-existing damage and claim anything after you sign with that insurance company.

That said, just take it anywhere..

wow if its like that then I guess it doesn't really matter who I take it too, I thought maybe they would do a full inspection of the drivetrain and everything.

It's worth asking your insurance company about though, not all are the same, but I've switched to 3 different companies in the past 2 yrs and all were just a few photos.

Nice MY & Color choice

I had to do this when I purchased mine, too. It was basically just drive up to the location, their representative snaps a few photos of the car and you drive away.

I always figured it was just to verify that the car is in the stated condition - not some pile of scrap you bought on ebay to get a VIN number and file an insurance claim.

exactly or the insurance agent just needs to take a walk around of the vehicle to make sure there are no existing damages
