Checked the car quite thoroughly and went beyond what was required to investigate about the potential issues in the car. Gave me advice about possibilities of fixing the minor/major issues in the vehicle and discuss it with the dealer.
Would definitely recommend Edward for any used car inspections.

Edd went above and beyond for us and spotted issues most wouldn't. I have used him twice now and will use him again. Stopped us buying a money pit which on the surface looked fine. 5 stars.

Edd was very helpful, very quick to provide after inspection information and talked me through my concerns before I purchased. The report came through within the hour after the inspection and the sellers both said how lovely Edd was and also thorough with his inspection which was great to hear. If I buy from a private seller again I would definitely recommend Edd and I will most probably contact Edd again in the future for any car mechanical needs! Thank you.
