Edward was great, thorough inspection, talked it through with me and answered all my questions, also said not not worry about calling again later if I thought of anything else. Couldn’t have asked for better!

Edd was phenomenal - by a country mile he was the most flexible, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable mechanic that I have ever dealt with. Highly, highly recommend and grateful for the thoroughness of his report and the follow up. Really helped with a car that I am considering buying for my kids to share.

This was my first time purchasing the premium pre-inspection service and Edward was absolutely amazing. He communicated promptly with the seller and went above and beyond inspecting the vehicle. He took his time in answering and addressing all the questions about the inspection. This really gave me a piece of mind as I was purchasing from a private seller! Absolutely worth it and I recommend Edward to anyone looking to book this service! Thanks again Edward!
