Ed was incredible. He went above and beyond to give a really detailed report and also to take the time to explain all the details to me. Was so generous and kind and the seller was super impressed too, with his knowledge but also of his way of operating. Highly recommend Ed!

Edd’s report was fabulously helpful for us, really detailed and thorough. What really made the difference to us tho was the follow up phone call in which Edd answered all our questions and clarified the potential implications of the issues he had identified. First class service - thank you!!!

Edd was brilliant from start to finish. Excellent communication, knowledge and tips for someone with little technical knowledge at all. Would 100% recommend Edd and also he would be my first port of call should I use the company again.

I would highly recommend Edward.
He carried out a very comprehensive and thorough check on the vehicle. Edward is a very knowledgeable and experienced mechanic. He very kindly carried out some additional checks at no extra cost and along with his report, he gave up nearly one hour of his time to discuss it and address / advise on the concerns that I had. This enabled me to negotiate with the garage and purchase with the confidence of knowing the minor faults found, would be fixed. Great service, thank you.
