INTAKE: FOLLOW THE PHOTO CHECKLIST FOR YOUR CATEGORY ON THE FORM. SLOT MACHINES: YOUR U.S. STATE IS REQUIRED. OWNERSHIP IS RESTRICTED IN SOME STATES AND YOUR REPORT INCLUDES THE CURRENT STATUS FOR YOURS.
Full refund if I cannot identify your unit to at least medium confidence. Every report is an informed estimate, not a formal appraisal and not a safety inspection. Five reports a week is the cap. If I am booked, your slot is next week and I will say so. Some part links may be affiliate links. That never changes what I recommend.
