Edd was very helpful, very quick to provide after inspection information and talked me through my concerns before I purchased. The report came through within the hour after the inspection and the sellers both said how lovely Edd was and also thorough with his inspection which was great to hear. If I buy from a private seller again I would definitely recommend Edd and I will most probably contact Edd again in the future for any car mechanical needs! Thank you.

I am very happy with the work Edward carried out. I booked a premium car inspection and thanks to that he could spot 2 major problems in a car that I was about to buy and his work saved me a lot of money . Edward was efficient and kept me informed of everything , explaining and answering my questions. Also offered advice on the type of cars that could suit me , suggesting me some brands and models. The inspection was very thorough , i would recommend it and would repeat in the future in my next car inspections.

Edward was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. He explained every aspect of his report and gave evidence to support my own theories.
Prior to this Edd held the title of being ranked the Number 1 mechanic in the UK & Ireland for 3 years according to the LOTM. He won the National contest and was crowned number 1 in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Contests, in each case after competing over the course of 5 months against mechanics from across the UK and Republic of Ireland. Edward is the only person ever to achieve the ‘hat trick’ worldwide (the contest is held in 38 countries globally) as announced live on BBC Radio 2. Having achieved the record Edward retired from the contest undefeated before going on to win his current title European 'Auto Mechanik of the year'. The interview on the BBC can be seen here:
