I feel so fortunate to have discovered Drew. He’s the perfect combination of knowledgeable, personable, professional, trustworthy. I was feeling a bit lost looking for classic car service. While Drew certainly has an impressive resume of working on very valuable and exotic cars, he made me feel just as important and valued customer even though I don’t have “Jay Leno” money to spend.

Drew is serious about his pre-purchase inspections. With his attention to detail and expertise you could save thousands in not making an unwise purchase not to mention the long-term regret. You may pay more for his superior scrutiny but....it's worth it in the long run as others may overlook important things Drew catches. Give Drew that oh so important pre-inspection job for your peace of mind. I did and I'm very happy I did.

I was not expecting the level of care and attention I received. Truly amazing experience. The attention to detail is unmatched. Searching for the right person to care for your vehicle is a pain. None of my previous concerns like overpricing, or not fixing the issues did I ever worry about. Amazing experience!! Thank you so much Drew!!Services: Auto brake repair

While I didn't end up hiring Drew to perform an inspection on an 82' Toyota FJ40 (I had already committed to making the purchase beforehand), I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for having had the opportunity to speak with Drew before arranging for the vehicle to be picked up and transported from TX to CA. Even after regular business hours, Drew was kind enough to take my call and speak to me for 20 minutes about the things I should look for and questions I should ask of the seller before finalizing the purchase. I was so impressed with Drew's knowledge and even more so with his professionalism.If you're in the market to purchase a classic car, I highly recommend making the small investment to have the vehicle thoroughly inspected. Thankfully, my experience was a good one as the private seller was very honest about any/all issues with the vehicle I purchased, but this is not always the case.Thanks again, Drew!

Drew is thorough, detail oriented, and extremely knowledgeable. Incredibly responsive and very accommodating with his schedule. He was an absolute asset while purchasing a luxury vehicle from out of state. If I could give more than five stars I would! I made the mistake of using a different provider for the initial pre purchase inspection and the difference between their report and Drewmotive was similar to a 5th graders, “What I Did This Summer” to a doctoral dissertation. He spent 90 minutes with me on the phone reviewing every scratch, code, and potential issue he uncovered during his expert analysis. Drew is the definition of professional, and his services are worth every penny and then some! I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Drewmotive.

This is going to be a very lengthy review, but Drew is a very detailed guy, so I feel it is fully warranted. Being out of state in NY, I needed to have a pre-purchase inspection done on a 68 Pro Street Camaro that was being offered at a dealership in Texas. I asked the sales rep if he could refer some inspectors to me, and he gave me the names of two inspectors, one of them being Drew of Drewmotive. I was told he was a little pricier than the second company, but he would also be much more thorough. That's exactly what I wanted, so I decided to give Drew a call first. We chatted for a while about the car and he explained what he does in great detail. I did mention that the sales rep referred another company to me as well, but I was satisfied with our conversation and I wanted to hire him. He still encouraged me to call the other company to get a comparison, but I told him that was not necessary, because I knew hands-down that he was "the guy" to inspect the vehicle for me. WOW, did he uncover things about the vehicle that I would have never seen in the pictures and video provided by the dealer! After I went over Drew's extremely thorough report, we chatted about the car for several hours, and also for several days! We realized that it's not really the car and we should keep looking for something better. I then had Drew fly out to Georgia to look at a '67 Camaro Restomod. After Drew's extremely detailed report on this vehicle, it turns out it was also mis-represented by the dealer. Although I spent the money on these two inspections, the money it saved me from making the worst mistake was worth it! I found another vehicle out of Michigan and almost flew him out there, but we were not getting good vibes from the dealer (yes, Drew took his own time to speak with them). He never got the chance to inspect that vehicle because they sold it out from under me. That was a blessing in disguise, because thanks to Drew, he told me about another site that I should be looking on, which I had never heard of before. After a couple of weeks of searching, a nicely built 1967 Pro Street Camaro came along out of North Carolina. I had Drew fly out the very next day to inspect this vehicle, and it turned out to be everything we had hoped. The next day, I purchased the car from the private seller and I could not be happier with the purchase, all thanks to Drew and Drewmotive!Now, let me tell you about Drew himself. I have never, and I mean NEVER known anyone that comes anywhere as close to the knowledge Drew has about all types of cars, old, new, and all makes and models. The guy should be crowned the 8th, 9th and 10th wonders of the world! Very detail oriented and extremely thorough. He is TOP NOTCH all around! If he says the car is either good or bad, you can take that to the bank without hesitation! Personality wise, he is super professional, courteous and polite, and seems to have infinite time offering UNLIMITED post-inspection support, which is absolutely PRICELESS!! As busy as he is, he always made the time for me, both through texts and phone calls, often times after hours and even on weekends! Who does that? NO ONE but Drew!!Listen, if you are in need of a pre-purchase inspection, Drewmotive is your guy, so don't even think of looking elsewhere, because you won't find anyone else like Drew on the planet, and I 1000% guarantee that! If you have the pleasure of working with him, you will quickly realize that everything I have said will be instantly validated! If you decide to give Drew a call based on my review, let him know it was Paul's review that made you pick up the phone; he will like that. :)In closing, it is truly an honor to know Drew, and I would never hesitate hiring him again as the need arises. Drew, it was an amazing experience working with you on finding the right vehicle for me, and I sincerely appreciate all of your patience and professionalism, despite my periodic indecisiveness. I am also proud to call you a friend now, and I am so happy that we are staying in touch. T

Drew inspected a 2009 Lotus Elise for me while I was 2,000 miles away. I have never seen a more detailed inspection report, he took hours of his time to explain the report, the pictures / videos and his overall feel of the car. Unfortunately the car did not work out and I have Drew to thank for giving me the knowledge to make the right decision.Service: Vehicle Inspection

Have had chronic starter problems with my ‘74 Jag Etype. Found Drew, in 2 hours he removed the starter, inspected and filed the flywheel teeth and installed the new gear reduction starter I provided. Pictures were provided as work progressed. All at a very fair price. Am so impressed with Drew and now have my go-to shop for work I’m not able to do myself.

Honestly cannot believe it has taken me this long to find a mechanic like Drew! Found him while trying to get a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle that I did not know much about. He is filled with knowledge and will be very honest with you about cars to buy and avoid. Long story short he is now our go to mechanic for all of our vehicles. I just purchased a Lexus SC430 convertible that was due for its timing belt/water pump service (not a small job by any means) Drew went above and beyond, even sent me photo updates which I absolutely LOVE! Cannot tell you how many times I have wished to see the process of what my car is getting. My family and I are set free now that we have found a trustworthy mechanic like Drew!Services: Vehicle Inspection

Drew is a wonderful person and an amazing human being. He helped me in a situation with a car that I needed assessed and sold during a difficult and emotional time. He was honest with the evaluation and assessment of the car, gave me a few options that I could take, and didn’t try to pressure me into any of those options. I’d highly recommend using this place for your automotive needs.

Drew was fantastic and more professional than I ever would’ve expected. Not only did he spend hours on site explaining to me what he was looking for and why. He went above and beyond my expectations doing background checking after hours and talking with the owner of the vehicle to get as much information as possible. He did exactly what I hired him to do which is give me the facts about the 1969 Dodge Daytona as it sits, no bias either way. He put up with more than I would’ve expected from the owner and stayed professional the entire time with the vehicle. I HIGHLY recommend his service if you’re hesitant about a purchase, and will surely use him in the future.Service: Vehicle Inspection
