Edward was superb. Not only in his assessment of the vehicle that he inspected but also his advice in navigating the less than helpful click mechanic website.

Edd was outstanding in every respect, and his report and face-to-face discussion helped me to make a decision about the purchase - I decided not to buy and probably saved quite a bit of money and bother down the line. A thoroughly good service.

Edd was brilliant gave a full and thorough report and then followed up with a phone call that explained everything in terms I could understand giving me the confidence to approach the garage I was buying a car from to get them to ensure the car was the best it could be before I committed. Edd went over and above and Iā€™m so pleased I got the pre sale inspection report. Thank you!

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.

Perfect service from Edward. I live in Scotland and wanted a car pre-inspection. Both the seller and myself extremely happy. Thorough, precise, Edward went beyond what i was expecting. Well done.
