Edd was excellent throughout the entire process. His communication was clear, timely, and professional from the start. He kept me updated at every stage of the inspection and explained his findings in a way that was easy to understand. The report was detailed and thorough, giving me confidence in making an informed decision about the vehicle. I really appreciated his honesty and attention to detail — it’s clear he takes pride in his work. I’d highly recommend Edd to anyone needing a reliable pre-purchase inspection.

Edd is the upmost professional while being incredibly informative, friendly and helpful.
From the first voice message to introduce himself, informing me of his eta, completion of inspection and finally to text him so he could call me once I'd had time to review the full report, so that he could talk me through through his findings.
Even the seller asked me how much I paid for the inspection, because of his thoroughness and professionalism and see had worked in the motor trade for over 20 years.
5☆ I'd give more if I could

Ed was extremely knowledgable, and gave me great piece of mind about buying the car. He carried out a full check and found no alarming issues which would potentially put a buyer off. Cant thank him enough for giving me the piece of mind i needed, since I’ve previously had bad experiences with buying cars. Thank you!

Edward did a pre-purchase inspection on a van. He was very professional, friendly and generous with his explanations in layman's terms. His report was clear, easy to understand and called to speak through over the phone and answer my questions. He flagged some important and potentially costly faults, including electronic system diagnostic. I ultimately decided to not purchase the van but learnt a lot through the experience and felt value for money for level of service and the information to make an informed decision regarding large purchase.

Edward was absolutely fantastic - I couldn't recommend him more. He went above and beyond and made me feel very secure I was in good hands with my pre-buying inspection.
I was having a golf looked at - and having a Volkswagen trained European champion mechanic was better than I could have ever imagined!
