Edd was excellent. From his level of his level of detail to his punctuality. This was the best and most reassuring service I could use. There never once was a moment where I felt he was rushing things, left me waiting or didn’t want to assist me. Really great service through and through and I couldn’t be happier. Incredibly knowledgeable and great and offering solutions for any issues that did arise once the vehicle was inspected.

I can’t recommend Edd highly enough. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. They were incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and went above and beyond to help. What really stood out was how honest and approachable they were — no pressure, just genuine care and professionalism.

The work was done efficiently, to a high standard, and I left feeling confident and reassured. It’s rare to find someone so skilled who also genuinely wants to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and will be recommending them to everyone I know.

Tedd was at the site on time, was very polite and open to answer all questions. During the check, he was professional and knew exactly where to look for and for what reason. He explained to me what the pros and cons of the car were after his inspection and he was extremely helpful for me about choosing to buy or not the car. Top of his job and would recommend without second thought. Thank you Tedd!

I can’t rate Edd highly enough, he was so helpful right from the start and put me at ease that he knows exactly what he’s talking about by providing his credentials and previous experience. He went above and beyond on the inspection and was able to provide some really good insight to help inform my decision prior to purchase. He was on time, thorough and took the time to explain everything to me afterwards with excellent advice, and offered a further follow up call should I think of any more questions afterwards. Would absolutely recommend Edd to anyone in future 😁

I've now collected my Audi TTRS from a dealer several hundred miles from me which was inspected by Edd. Paying £40k for a car that you have never seen in person is obviously worring. I can confidently say that Edd's indept knowledge and thorough report was the defining factor for me completing the purchase. Edd, who has extensive knowledge of Audis, clearly inspected every inch of the car, far beond what even click mechanic set out. He found a number of issues that even the main dealer's inspection missed, allowing me to further negotiate with the price before collection; easily covering the cost of the inspection. Overall I cannot recommend Edd's services enough. Read more

I booked a Premium Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection. Edd was fantastic from start to finish and I can't recommend him enough! He was extremely personable and kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, taking time to communicate everything clearly with me in a way that I understood. He was very thorough in both his work and what he included on the report, and took time to carefully discuss everything with me after the inspection. I was grateful to be able to ask all of my questions in the follow up phone call and feel a lot more confident about my next steps thanks to his service.
