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.

ClickMechanic are a 3rd party company who will do the work of finding you a mechanic if you need a pre purchase inspection. This went smoothly with no issues.
But, the real above and beyond praise goes to, the mechanic and car consultant, Edward Hunt. Edd is very professional and extremely knowledgeable, but it’s his experience in dealing with buyers and sellers, whether trade or private that has been invaluable and has helped us greatly in navigating our potential purchase. Spending money, even on a used car, is lot of money for us, and it has been stressful trying to find a used car that won’t end up being a money pit.
I’m relieved and grateful to have had Edd be the one to inspect our car.

Edward went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a fantastic job on my pre-purchase checks, leaving no stone unturned. For someone who has no idea about cars and purchasing my first car, I’m so grateful to have Edward explain every detail to me. Not only did he identify current issues, but also potential issues, provided solutions as well as the pros and cons of each! I definitely got great value for his expert consultancy which allowed me to ensure that the issues were rectified prior to my purchase. A highly commendable mechanic with strong ethics, I will definitely be recommending him to everyone! Thanks so much for all your help Edd, I truly appreciate it! 🙂.
