Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Edward kept me informed about everything and went the extra mile to make sure I got everything and more out of the pre-purchase car inspection I had booked with him. He's given me such great advice and there is no doubt I'll be booking with him again for my next inspection.

Ed was friendly, knowledgable and very through. He was on time to the job site and gave a very detailed report that went above and beyond the required works. He found out some electrical and tyre issues that allowed me to request new tyres and reports from the dealer I was buying the car from.

This is the 3rd time I've used Edd, once again he went above and beyond to help me out. His report was comprehensive and he gave expert advice on what to get fixed on a pre purchase check. He is friendly and I trust the work he does and will always use him in the future. I feel confident that if I buy the car he will have found all the gremlins waiting for me.
Thanks again Edd.

Mechanic was great. Half the price of RAC & AA. ClickMechanic didn't realise the van was 7 tonne (iveco daily panel van in fairness), but mechanic still carried out all the work except for the test drive (didn't have a hgv licence). Still great value.

Ed was amazing from start to finish in my pre-purchase inspection for a van. As I live in Scotland and the van is in England, it was proving logistically difficult for me to make sure I was certain on my decision. He totally went above and beyond, his report was thorough and I could tell he genuinely cared and took pride in his work. He continued to be available to check over receipts/reports after the inspection, which was incredibly generous of him. Really can't recommend enough.

Communication was absolutely top notch. I was kept informed the whole time, pre inspection contact to find out requirements and what I'd like to know etc. Kept up to date with visit and expected timings for report and then phone contact post report to give me time to read and get questions which is for me absolutely the best way to do things.
Very personable but also clearly extremely knowledgeable in his field.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs pre purchase inspection.
