Edward did a very thorough inspection on my potential purchase and because of his attention to detail and conclusion, I was able to avoid a costly mistake, so thank you Edward. I also found the whole process with 'ClickMechanic' very easy to use and communication between parties was easy.
I'd have no hesitation in using and/or recommending 'ClickMechanic' for your vehicle inspection.
