Ed performed a very thorough vehicle inspection (in fact it’s the second one he’s done for me, was very pleased when I found out it was going to be him) for and was able to highlight keys things for me in the report, and he also took the time to call and talk me through it, so that I could make a fully informed decision regarding the car. I would have no qualms using him again.

Edd did a very thorough pre inspection. There were a few items that needed repairs, and he spoke to the dealer about these and they were fixed without me needing to have a further conversation.
Slight delay in communication, as Edd got stuck in traffic on his way back from the inspection and couldn’t contact me, but not really his fault. So overall, very happy with his service and professional advice.

Edward picked up on a few things I would have never noticed and thanks to him those problems are now being addressed, I would’ve had no idea.
Edward has potentially saved me a lot of money and if I could I’d give him 6 stars, very professional and friendly guy, thanks Edward!
