He did his job and checked the car before I was going to buy it and this maybe saved me a lot of money on future repairs. Thanks

Edd was great, took the time to call me after the inspection and walk through every section of the report. Really impressed with how thorough he was. Discovered a few issues that the dealer hadn't disclosed and I was able to get these fixed, saving me from a big bill.
