Edward was very helpful and always willing to chat. He explained very well issues to look for or potential problems with the van I was looking to purchase. He seemed very experienced and knowledgeable and spotted red flags that the seller could deploy to cover certain issues. He offered a full and concise report and followed up with a nice chat and offered he's professional opinion of the vehicle I sought to buy.

Edd is the upmost professional while being incredibly informative, friendly and helpful.

From the first voice message to introduce himself, informing me of his eta, completion of inspection and finally to text him so he could call me once I'd had time to review the full report, so that he could talk me through through his findings.

Even the seller asked me how much I paid for the inspection, because of his thoroughness and professionalism and see had worked in the motor trade for over 20 years.

5☆ I'd give more if I could
