Edward was amazing.
Polite and professional.
He sent a introduction message to me telling me who he was and his credentials.
Even picked up on a stiff seat so I knew he was going to pick up on any problems.
He let me know when the report was submitted and had a phone call with me to run through the report.
Will be using him again.

I was most impressed by Edd's professionalism, knowledge, courtesy and communication. I'd be keen to use his services again in future and have no hesitation in recommending him to others. Also full marks to ClickMechanic for providing a quality same day inspection service whilst other providers could only offer distant future dates. Very pleased.
