Edward looked over the car over a period of hours and has produced one of the most comprehensive reports I have seen in a long time. The points he has raised would have been largely missed by a non professional and it will give me the opportunity to either negotiate to have all the identified faults rectified or negotiate a competitive price to allow me to correct them myself. All in all a brilliant job.

Edd was above and beyond. Can not recommend him enough! I was in a tight spot, needing a late night home visit pre-purchase inspection on a car, otherwise the deal was going to fall through.
He got in touch and was happy to help, and didn't grumble – even though I asked him to do the job at 8pm at night. He was punctual, super polite, knowledgable, and pro active.
Because of Edd's attitude and willingness to help, I'm now the proud owner of my dream car – and I couldn't be more thankful!
He was also incredibly professional when dealing with the seller, who was less than welcoming – but Edd got on with the job, managed the seller, and sent me a full inspection report in the late hours, as he knew it was time sensitive!
What an absolute gent, thank you again, he's fully recommended.

He was friendly and knowledgeable but for the price paid I don't think it was worth it. Didn't do anything wrong just the bare minimum. Tyres were not roadworthy fair enough but van was in a private land with concrete (farm) so could have at least done a bit more.

Edd was fantastic from star to finish. He communicated well throughout the process. The inspection was thorough and over and above the service paid for. The report was detailed and comprehensive. Edd added a few extra checks and tests which added extra ‘peace of mind’.

Ed was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgeable and friendly. If he worked for the NHS he would be a consultant easily. Ed explained all details in an easily understandable way and gave his advise as expected. I could not recommend him any higher. Definitely would use Ed again.
