This is the second time I work with Edward Hunt. And I'm once again very happy with the outcomes.
Edward was very thorough with checks, clear with the report, polite and professional with the communications. He helped me to understand the condition of the car, the findings, and their potential implications.
Highly recommended!

Edward absolutely exceeded my expectations during the pre-purchase car inspection.
He was very polite and professional in his communications. He thoroughly checked every aspect, highlighted important findings to me and explained their implications, answered all my questions. Edward even went extra mile explaining an identified tricky point to the car dealer representative. The report provided by him was very informative and useful.
The inspection preformed by Edward was definitely worth every penny. I learned a lot about the car, felt much more confident in my negotiations with the car dealer, and had enough inputs to make a fact-based decision.

Excellent level of service!
