It really doesn’t get better than this! Edd’s professional experience and service provided went above and beyond. With extra checks conducted in my case, I was able to make a well-informed decision following my Pre Inspection. This provided me with the reassurance based on evidence that I needed. I would highly recommend Edd and without doubt, I will be requesting him on my next expensive purchase on a potential camper conversion.
Again, very many thanks Edd.

Andrew was fantastic, I used him to get a pre-inspection report done for a vehicle and he ultimately saved me purchasing a possible death trap of a car. Could not recommend highly enough.

Excellent mechanic, meticulous ore vehicle inspection. Edward found a fault which the garage agreed to repair before collection, exceeded what was expected!

Ed Holt was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I've reviewed him on another pre-purchase inspection and my opinion remains the same - exceptional work.

I'm very happy with the work performed and I'm in the process of buying the car.
