    Does anyone know of a good Diesel mechanic that might be able to do a pre-purchase
    inspection in Virginia. This could be from Virginia Beach all the way to Richmond VA.

    Appreciate any recommndations.

    What engines. I used to keep my boat on the lower bay and may have some recommendations if they are Cats, Detroit’s, or MAN

    They are CAT 3208TA's , I should have listed that. Any recommendations you have on a mechanic for
    pre-purchase would be great.

    Carter Cat has a large presence in the lower bay and in years past was known for good work but of course they won’t be cheap.I don’t have any independents to recommend. Good luck

    I think Carter is more sales and parts focused than sending out diesel machanics for inspections. Cannt find anything mentioning that on their website.

    Things may have changed but it would be worth calling them. Do you know where you are getting hauled for the survey? The yard may have some recommendations specific to their area.
