He was totally brilliant. Much better than I expected. I expected a thorough report but I also got excellent communication which gave me all the confidence I needed to make the right decision. It was money well spent, and unlike him, I didn’t have to go out on a cold dark night to look at the van.

He was very friendly and explained everything to me and gave good advice for following up and keeping an eye on things. I think he did the pre-inspection well and really good at getting back to me and talking issues and questions through with me!
