About Josh - Owner of PDXinspections

I started modifying late model cars often before there was an available aftermarket for them. I enjoy driving, modifying and racing basically anything that moves. My hobbies include, building, tuning and driving modern day sports cars, motorcycles (dirt & street), drag racing, road racing, autocrossing, 4 wheeling, basically anything that has to do with electricity and/or computers, cars and of course, working. I am currently going to school to become an Oregon EMT and actively pursuing my dream of becoming a Firefighter-Paramedic. I’ve always been the gung-ho type and strive to be that guy who can do anything. I pride myself on education, certifications and quality workmanship.

I take pride in PDXinspections and am always working on how to get an edge ensuring my clients get the best possible experience when using my service.  I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars in the last few years updating my existing high tech tool arsenal to ensure I had the best equipment for my inspections.  I consider myself a used vehicle inspection innovator and have seen the industry change not only here in the Portland area but nationally as I've seen others take up my unique practices.  I take pride in helping others purchase reliable vehicles and it's always rewarding knowing I'm helping people avoid serious headaches and huge expenses in the future.

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 on a complex electrical issue than a mechanical issue, in this day in age a very hard quality to find.
