Edd was great! Highly Knowledgeable, punctual and even went the extra mile on his day off to re-arrange my appointment so it could be sooner; his inspection lead me to trust in buying the car I was viewing the same day and drove it 2 hours home with no issues at all.

Extremely happy with the service from click-mechanic and especially from Edd.

Thank you very much
