Edd is a very knowledgeable mechanic who is always willing to go the extra mile! (pun intended)

I had booked Edd for a pre-purchase car inspection to be carried out. Unfortunately, the car purchase did not go according to plan due to unforeseen circumstances (the seller decided to sell the car to someone else despite the fact I had placed a deposit). However, this did not affect the service that Edd provides - the aftercare was fantastic and very reassuring!

I highly recommend and hope to deal with Edd for advice on all car purchases!

Edward replaced the discs and brakes, but perhaps, more importantly, took care to fix the fault that had cause the recent wear.
