Yes, Ed was professional and ultimately saved me a small fortune on the BMW. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him he's worth 5 stars all day long. He didn't just produce the survey he also called me and went through it so I fully understood its content

Edward, carried out a very detailed inspection which flagged up a number of issues that would have been (very) costly to fix, so I’m very happy I was able to avoid the issues. Would happily use again.

The service provided by Edward was very professional and prompt (both in terms of undertaking the job as well as following up on the phone). The report and explanation was detailed and Edward provided detailed, clearly knowledgeable, answers to all my questions leaving me with the information I needed/wanted to make by decision regarding the car. Could not ask for more.
