Edd was fantastic from star to finish. He communicated well throughout the process. The inspection was thorough and over and above the service paid for. The report was detailed and comprehensive. Edd added a few extra checks and tests which added extra ‘peace of mind’.

Ed was absolutely fantastic and so knowledgeable and friendly. If he worked for the NHS he would be a consultant easily. Ed explained all details in an easily understandable way and gave his advise as expected. I could not recommend him any higher. Definitely would use Ed again.

Edd was very helpful. Not only did he do thorough checks on all parts of the car, he explained very clearly what to look out for, what might be an indication of poor maintenance and the rough costs of repairs. He was very open with advice and happy to help out with informing me of common issues to look out for with particular models of cars. Very happy with the service! Thanks Edd!

Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Edward kept me informed about everything and went the extra mile to make sure I got everything and more out of the pre-purchase car inspection I had booked with him. He's given me such great advice and there is no doubt I'll be booking with him again for my next inspection.

Ed was friendly, knowledgable and very through. He was on time to the job site and gave a very detailed report that went above and beyond the required works. He found out some electrical and tyre issues that allowed me to request new tyres and reports from the dealer I was buying the car from.

This is the 3rd time I've used Edd, once again he went above and beyond to help me out. His report was comprehensive and he gave expert advice on what to get fixed on a pre purchase check. He is friendly and I trust the work he does and will always use him in the future. I feel confident that if I buy the car he will have found all the gremlins waiting for me.
Thanks again Edd.
