Request made on Sunday for next day Monday to do pre-purchase inspection and got confirmation a few hours later.
On day of inspection, got the report at the end of the day. Report was clear and concise with photos of issues.
Ed followed up with phone call later that day and went over the issues highlighted.
Made recommendation to get major issues fixed before purchasing.

Edward was excellent, I can not stress this enough! He gave a detailed report and answered all relevant questions & even had answers to things I did not think about. He even took time to explain pictures as well, so we didn’t feel like we couldn’t ask anything. Great attention to detail and very warming in his approach. Would highly recommend or contact your company just to use him again.

Edd was so professional in doing a vehicle-check on my proposed new car. The report was exceedingly thorough and very easy to understand. The communication was exceptional in its own right but also there was an offer of further explanation if needed. - Edd was great..... hopefully, all the other mechanics on ClickMechanics are as good. I will definitely use them again.
