# PPI Scheduler > **Caveat**: this skill is one author's playbook + 5-scenario stress test. Verify state fees / CPO terms / EV credits / dealer practices against current sources before quoting numbers to a dealer or making financial decisions. Not tax, legal, or financial advice. > **last_verified**: 2026-05-18 (Phase 3C sub-skill split from orchestrator) Narrow helper: book a mobile PPI on one or more final candidates before signing. Defers the full inspector directory + form-field gotchas to `../orchestrator/references/ppi_booking.md`. ## When To Use - Buyer has 1-4 used-car final candidates and wants mechanical sign-off - Buyer asks for a mobile inspector recommendation by region - Need PARALLEL booking strategy across 2-4 dealers same day - Need brand-specific PPI scope (Subaru CVT, Toyota hybrid, etc.) - Post-PPI walk vs proceed decision ## When NOT To Use - New car off the truck under factory bumper-to-bumper - PPI is rarely cost-justified; skip - CARFAX history review only (no mechanical) - delegate to `carfax-pdf-review` - General CPO benefits eligibility - delegate to `cpo-eligibility` ## Mobile PPI Services by Region | Region | Service | Price | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | NY / NJ / CT | Lemon Protector | $139+ | lemonprotector.com, dispatched tri-state | | CA / Bay Area | YourMechanic | $150-200 | App-based, ASE-certified | | CA / SoCal | Lemon Squad | $175 | Mobile, fast scheduling | | Multi-state | Pep Boys Mobile | $150 | Variable quality by region | |
