Honest Ed's , Kent | ClickMechanic

Edward R
I started in the industry at an independent French car specialist completing all tasks such as cam belts, servicing and other mechanical repairs. I worked there for many years until I decided to leave for university to get a degree.

I completed my degree in motorsport technology and I got a job working for a historic Porche racing team. Whilst there I would undertake full vehicle restoration and race preparation. My specialty was engine rebuilds and machining.

Unfortunately whilst driving to work one day I was hit from behind by another road user at speed. I was badly injured and needed time away from physical work to recover.

I got a job working for the government covering a wide range of policy from MOT to heavy goods and public service vehicles, ensuring Britain's roads where kept safe.

After my injuries had healed I longed to pick up the spanners and get my hands dirty again, so with the support of my family I started Honest Ed's. Offering honest and friendly repairs and advice for your vehicle.

Ed was very good, I explained why I wanted a service and he only did work needed to solve the problems, he couldn't so stopped rather than keep going and charging more, would use him again

Poor Ed! What we presumed would be something vaguely straightforward became a proper can of worms...
Went beyond the call of duty - Can't recommend Ed enough!
We will be back - that's if you'll take my jobs on again !!!
