Andy was very efficient with booking and communication. He explained the process clearly, answered all of my questions and did a great job. I had the pre-purchase report 1 hour after the survey. Highly recommended. Thanks

I required a vehicle inspection for a specialist classic vehicle and booked clickmechanic. I must confess, at first I was skeptical because it was just so easy to book and competitively priced. and my assigned mechanic was Edward. Well, hands down this company is plain and simply the best service I have experienced for years. They just made everything “clicked” into place sbd work like clockwork and Edward, my mechanic inspecting the vehicle communicated prior, asked what was most important to me about the car, allowed me to send advert and information seller provided, including a Japanese auction report years ago and then carried out inspection and rang me immediately with a verbal synopsis followed by written report within two hours. Put simply, I would recommend this company for anything they do which is car related and would only use them for my next inspection. A big thank you to all involved running this business and a special thank you to Edward, who is the most knowledgeable, service orientated, car engineers, I’ve ever dealt with. Read more

Absolutely first class service. I was fortunate enough to have been assigned Edd who just so happens to be a VW specialist which was perfect as I was buying a VW.

I cannot heep enough praise on Edd for his professionalism and his attention to detail.
He took the time to not only supply an exceptionally detailed report, but also took extra time to explain and advise me further. He was very patient with me, and answered all my questions in a way I'd understand. On top of this his communication was great and honest with his opinions, which is exactly what you want when buying a car. I hope I get Edd again when i next need an inspection.
A perfect first experiene of using Clickmechanic, all thanks to Edd. Read more

Simply excellent- I could not have asked for better service.
Edward forwarded the report promptly after the inspection and followed with a phonecall explaining how he'd graded the tested items/categories.
