My mechanic was Edward. Click a mechanic set up contact for me to have an inspection carried out within a day or so, I was impressed.
The inspection appointment was arranged promptly.
Communication was very good, & the feed back well curated. I was patiently informed as to details & points that were recorded by Edward.
All in all I felt more confident as a buyer.

Edd was phenomenal - by a country mile he was the most flexible, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable mechanic that I have ever dealt with. Highly, highly recommend and grateful for the thoroughness of his report and the follow up. Really helped with a car that I am considering buying for my kids to share.
