As always, Edd went above and beyond to make sure I was armed with as much information as possible before making a decision on the vehicle he inspected.
Sadly like an other vehicle checked, it was barely road worthy, let alone worth buying but that’s not Edd’s fault. The man has saved me once again from throwing money away.

Edd was brilliant and carried out a thorough inspection of the van and provided comprehensive notes and photos. He also provided a follow up phone call to talk through his findings and answer any questions that I had. Nothing was too much trouble and his inspection did throw up some concerning things about the van which I would never have found otherwise. I wouldn't hesitate in contacting Edd again for an inspection.

Edward was worth every penny I spent for an inspection that was over and above expectations, allowing me peace of mind and the confidence to negotiate a fair deal on a vehicle that was a rather large purchase for me.
Thanks Ed, number 1 UK mechanic 👍🏼

Ed was fantastic, plenty of communication prior to address some parts I particularly wanted checked, and plenty of explanation after the check on possible implications of the problems and concerns he found. Booked a next-day premium pre-purchase inspection and glad I did, avoided a potential money sink of a car. He came across as very knowledgeable (and afterwards seeing his profile i see i could not have been in better hands), and went beyond the check list as detialed on clickmechanic too. Ed is determined to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision regarding the vehicle you've called him out to see.
