Edward was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything on the report to me and I wouldn't hesitate to use the site again. I'd be very happy if the site allocated Edward to my booking should I need to use the service again. Thanks.

Ed was really friendly and helpful. He called me before the pre purchase inspection to explain the process and then again afterwards to discuss the results from his inspection. His gave me his opinion on certain aspects of the car and recommendations on how best to maintain and monitor the things he had flagged. Really impressed and would highly recommend Ed!

Edd's probably the best mechanic I've ever dealt with. Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable.
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:

Other awards include the 2025 Environmental award at the C.A.T. awards, South West of England VW & Audi Apprentice of the year 2005 and Salisbury college Technical Student of the year 2000
Edward is a third generation car mechanic who has always been a car enthusiast from a very young age. He began his professional career in the motor trade as an apprentice technician at Volkswagen. He gained a wealth of experience, mainly at a VW main dealer, but with time spent in the VW commercial workshop as well the Seat & Skoda workshops. He also spent 2 years as a specialist patrol for the AA dealing with breakdowns on all manner of vehicle from mopeds to HGV.
