Buying a used car is stressful so I’m really glad I booked Edd to carry out the car inspection. It all worked out exactly how he said it would and he sent me a detailed report of his findings afterwards. We then spoke on the phone as I had some questions about issues he’d found with the car. As a result, I raised these with the car dealer and they agreed to rectify them. I felt much more confident buying the car. Thanks Edd.

Edd was brilliant from beginning to end. He was free at short notice for a next day inspection and was happy to rearrange the time to a little earlier to suit the car dealer. He communicated well from beginning to end, informing me of a few small issues straight after the inspection. His report was completed promptly and was very thorough. He even included extra details where he’d investigated things that weren’t on the premium inspection. The car was a Skoda and as well as being an award winning mechanic, Edd informed me he is a Skoda expert. He communicated well with the car dealer and their mechanic to explain an important task that needed completing. And gave me great follow up advice several days later. Absolutely 100% would recommend Edd (Edward Hunt). I struck gold with this one ⭐️ Read more
