Very thorough inspection that identified a number of issues in a car that, superficially, looked very clean. Report delivered on the day followed up with a lengthy call even though it was late in the evening. Saved me from purchasing the car in a sub-standard and somewhat dangerous condition.

In short, superb.

He spotted a potential costly timing belt issue as the car was started from cold at a distance and electrical issues, which thankfully the dealership investigated and worked to put right. A good investment and a top mechanic.
