AI-Powered Vehicle Inspection Company iNeedaPPi Expands Across Canada, Offering Fast, Affordable, and Transparent Used Car Evaluations
TORONTO, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ -- iNeedaPPi Mobile Car Inspectors, a Canada-based company known for its technology-driven approach to used vehicle inspections, has expanded across the Canadian market with operations available in and around Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. The service addresses long-standing concerns among used car buyers—namely, how to confidently evaluate a vehicle's condition without relying on the seller or traditional, often inconsistent inspection processes. The company leverages AI technology, machine learning, and proprietary tools to ensure every inspection is thorough, consistent, and unbiased, regardless of who performs it or where. This data-centric model aims to improve trust and transparency in an area of the automotive industry where both are often lacking. Mobile, Same-Day Car Inspections for Only $169.99 iNeedaPPi offers on-location pre-purchase inspections that are typically completed within the same day, priced at $169.99. Once a buyer places an order through the website, iNeedaPPi coordinates directly with the seller to schedule the inspection. The buyer then receives a comprehensive report via email—no coordination or in-person meetings required. Visual, Evidence-Based Reporting Inspection reports are built for clarity and visual understanding. Each includes: Over 50 high-resolution photos Video documentation showing the vehicle in action A detailed condition score out of 100 Objective summaries and visual evidence of any issues These features are designed to reduce ambiguity and give buyers the ability to make fully informed decisions without relying solely on trust or vague descriptions. Added Tools for Buyer Confidence Customers can add a $25 Market Price Appraisal at checkout to learn what a vehicle is really worth in today's market. For additional peace of mind, iNeedaPPi now also offers optional post-purchase warranty coverage, with plans starting at just $49 for 90 days. A Smarter Way to Buy Used By combining speed, affordability, and technological innovation, iNeedaPPi aims to transform how Canadians shop for used vehicles. With fast service, unbiased results, and no pressure to buy, it offers a modern alternative to the traditional, often stressful, car-buying experience. As more buyers turn to private sellers and online marketplaces, iNeedaPPi arrives at a critical time—making it easier than ever to buy used with clarity, protection, and confidence.

Hamilton's Aberdeen Avenue named CAA's Worst Road in Ontario for a second year in a row
THORNHILL, ON, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Ontarians have spoken, and the results are in. For a second consecutive year, the 2025 CAA Worst Road in Ontario is Aberdeen Avenue in Hamilton. Frustrations with potholes and poor road maintenance have kept this road in the number one spot. It first debuted on the top regional list for Hamilton in 2021 and moved onto the provincial list in 2023. In second and third place are Barton Street East in Hamilton and County Road 49 in Prince Edward County, two roads that have previously appeared on the CAA Worst Roads top 10 list six and seven times, respectively. Both roads are expected to receive significant upgrades and are in the planning stages. "Timely repairs, better communication, quick fixes, pothole funds, and using recycled aggregates are just some solutions to fix unsafe roads," says Teresa Di Felice, assistant vice president of government and community relations, CAA South Central Ontario. "CAA continues to urge all levels of government to prioritize road safety with stable funding to do so." This year, participants nominated over 2,400 different roads from 208 municipalities, up respectively from 2,000 roads from 145 municipalities in 2024 – a 20 per cent increase in roads nominated and a 42 per cent increase in the number of municipalities with roads nominated. Municipalities are responsible for approximately 140,000 kilometres of roads across the province. "For over two decades, the CAA Worst Roads campaign has given Ontarians a voice to spotlight unsafe roads in their communities and push for much-needed repairs," says Di Felice. "This list provides a powerful snapshot to governments on where to prioritize budgets and move up road repairs, and we know that the public supports these efforts." CAA research shows that 26 per cent of survey respondents expressed dissatisfaction with road work projects, stating that they take multiple seasons to complete. However, 85 per cent are willing to put up with the inconvenience of construction in exchange for long-term improvements. Ontarians shared their primary reasons for selecting a road, with 84 per cent citing potholes, followed by poor road maintenance (77 per cent) and traffic congestion (15 per cent).
