Edward did a very thorough inspection on my potential purchase and because of his attention to detail and conclusion, I was able to avoid a costly mistake, so thank you Edward. I also found the whole process with 'ClickMechanic' very easy to use and communication between parties was easy.
I'd have no hesitation in using and/or recommending 'ClickMechanic' for your vehicle inspection.

Ed (edward) ,
Couldn't have asked for anything more from this guy, he was absolutely wonderful complete full report on everything I was concerned about before buying a car without him I would not have bought.
He was a complete expert so polite and honest and spoke in length with my concerns, to have expert knowledge on hand was the best I could have asked for, worth every penny and more, if there was a 10 star rating I'd give a 12 he was that good, I will never buy a car again without an expert like Ed, thankyou so so much.

Edward provided an excellent service, great communication and photos of the work he had done. In the course of a routine repair he spotted a leak which he fixed, saving us from a costly recovery from France where we were heading a few days later.
