Absolutely first class service. I was fortunate enough to have been assigned Edd who just so happens to be a VW specialist which was perfect as I was buying a VW.

I cannot heep enough praise on Edd for his professionalism and his attention to detail.
He took the time to not only supply an exceptionally detailed report, but also took extra time to explain and advise me further. He was very patient with me, and answered all my questions in a way I'd understand. On top of this his communication was great and honest with his opinions, which is exactly what you want when buying a car. I hope I get Edd again when i next need an inspection.
A perfect first experiene of using Clickmechanic, all thanks to Edd. Read more

Simply excellent- I could not have asked for better service.
Edward forwarded the report promptly after the inspection and followed with a phonecall explaining how he'd graded the tested items/categories.

Edd’s report was fabulously helpful for us, really detailed and thorough. What really made the difference to us tho was the follow up phone call in which Edd answered all our questions and clarified the potential implications of the issues he had identified. First class service - thank you!!!
