About Josh – Owner of PDXinspections

I started modifying late model cars often before there was a large aftermarket for them: turbos, supercharging, heads/cams, nitrous, I’ve done it all. I enjoy driving, modifying and racing anything that moves. My hobbies include: building/tuning, driving modern day sports cars as well as motorcycles (dirt & street). I’ve been involved in practically every form of racing in one point or time and enjoy anything that has to do with cars, computers, electricity/technology, boating and of course working!

When I’m not out inspecting vehicles for PDXinspections I spend my time as a full time Firefighter Paramedic (Advanced Life Support – Emergency Medical Technician). Emergency medical care is a huge passion of mine and just as I’ve done in the automotive field, I’m certified/licensed to the highest level of medical care provider available in EMS. EMS and my role in the automotive world performing inspections actually share more in common than most would think. They both include building trust and rapport, providing excellent customer service, diagnosis, continued training/education, building reports to document findings, and most importantly thoroughness which includes not missing important pieces of the puzzle or making mistakes.

When I’m not working I remain very active and enjoy everything that the great NW offers. We split our time between Portland and Bend. In the summers you’ll find me marathon training, stair climbing, Efoil’ing, SUP’ing, and wake boarding. Winters are usually spent learning, training, and snowboarding. I’ve always prided myself on continuing education, training, certifications, quality workmanship and always providing excellent customer service. I’ve worked throughout the automotive world since 1996 and always remained the car guy with the highest integrity. PDXinspections is my pride and joy. This business that is truly about you and protecting todays car buyers from making poorer purchasing decisions. We always put our customers first. We want to ensure our clients don’t buy lemons, something they’ll regret down the road, and most importantly making sure our clients don’t fall for many of the automotive scams out there. The satisfaction of doing the right thing is so much more important to us than the money. I personally always strive to under promise and over deliver and will promise to continually innovate and build the most advanced, innovative, and thorough independent onsite used vehicle inspection company anywhere.

• I have the ability and experience to tune/program late model fuel injected vehicles & motorcycles via computers meaning I have a very good sense of what’s going on in the computers of the vehicles I inspect.

I take pride in PDXinspections and am always working on how to get an edge ensuring our clients get the best possible experience when using our service. We’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years continually updating our existing high tech tool arsenal to ensure we continue to have the best equipment available for our inspections. Our diagnostic tooling is continually updated and often much newer and more advanced than you’ll see in most shops. We consider PDXinspections to be a used vehicle inspection innovator as we have seen the industry change not only here in the Portland area but nationally as we’ve witnessed others take up our unique practices. We take pride in helping others purchase reliable vehicles and it’s always rewarding knowing that we are helping people avoid serious headaches and huge expenses after buying their vehicles.

I’m a new car guy surprising to most not an old or classic car guy… Modern computerized complex cars are my forte. I’m a unique new breed of technician who actually enjoys staying up on current technology and would much rather work with a complex electrical issue than a mechanical issue, in this day in age a very hard quality to find. Over the recent years I’ve become very passionate about EV’s, Tesla specifically and the technologies replacing the internal combustion engine.

I’ve earned ASE Master Certified Technician status meaning all 8 Certifications plus the L1 Advanced Engine Performance Certification

• A1 Engine Repair
• A2 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle
• A3 Manual Drive Train and Axles
