He spotted a potential costly timing belt issue as the car was started from cold at a distance and electrical issues, which thankfully the dealership investigated and worked to put right. A good investment and a top mechanic.

Edd was great, his communication was spot on, so I knew what was happening and when. The inspection he carried out was full and very comprehensive, which I was very appreciative of. The phone call, later that day, was informative and clarifying, which enabled me to take an informed decision.
