Friendly and knowledgeable, he went the extra mile with our pre-purchase check, and gave us a lot of guidance on how to discuss some issues with the seller. Thanks so much for it all!

Edd was absolutely top class, from start to finish. Couldn't have found a better mechanic to do a pre-sale inspection. Very thorough, patient in explaining various faults to me and went above and beyond to do an extremely comprehensive report. All the amazing reviews are warranted, I am very happy with the inspection (the outcome was not buying the vehicle - but have saved thousands). Edd is very down to earth too, and fantastic communication every step of the way.

If you want someone to check over a used Audi, then Edd Hunt is the person you'd want to do it.

The inspection was meticulous and being there in person to see and understand the nuances of weak points was a huge plus.

In fact while prepared to drive the car off the forecourt post review, while no deal breakers came up, the car was in its current condition unfit for the road. As Edd pointed out, anything there which could cause an accident is a no no.

Creds to the CM team too - especially Emily for fixing my booking request behind the scenes.

I came away with an educated viewpoint of the car condition and faults.
And clear next steps. The quality care and skill shown in the assessment of the car went above
and beyond my expectations.

A challenger to the AA and RAC? For sure. I'd book again without hesitation.

10/10

Edd was really great at his job, spotted lots of issues with the car that I totally missed and saved me a lot of money from buying a car potentially riddled with hidden issues by an unscrupulous seller. He even predicted before the inspection how a seller might try to hide issues and advised on an upgraded service, thank goodness he did that as was 100% correct. You can tell his past experience is invaluable he knows all the possible pit falls of problem cars and where to spot them. What really stands out is Edd's attitude of doing the best job possible for you, rather than just following a pre-set tick box list of checks he really goes the extra mile and checks every detail way beyond the minimum requirement. 100% would use again.
