Edward absolutely exceeded my expectations during the pre-purchase car inspection.
He was very polite and professional in his communications. He thoroughly checked every aspect, highlighted important findings to me and explained their implications, answered all my questions. Edward even went extra mile explaining an identified tricky point to the car dealer representative. The report provided by him was very informative and useful.
The inspection preformed by Edward was definitely worth every penny. I learned a lot about the car, felt much more confident in my negotiations with the car dealer, and had enough inputs to make a fact-based decision.

Excellent level of service!

He was totally brilliant. Much better than I expected. I expected a thorough report but I also got excellent communication which gave me all the confidence I needed to make the right decision. It was money well spent, and unlike him, I didn’t have to go out on a cold dark night to look at the van.
