Ed was really friendly and helpful. He called me before the pre purchase inspection to explain the process and then again afterwards to discuss the results from his inspection. His gave me his opinion on certain aspects of the car and recommendations on how best to maintain and monitor the things he had flagged. Really impressed and would highly recommend Ed!
