Alfa Romeo Giulietta Premium Pre-purchase Inspection

The level of detail was not up to the standard I would expect from the premium package. He went through the checklist and provided a good but generic report with a few photographs. Utimately I ended up not buying the car, because I test drove the car myself and noticed a persistent trim noise coming from around the steering wheel area. If he had reported that in the report, I would not have made the trip to the dealer at all.
Reply from Darren:
I’m surprised the punctuality’s was marked down as arrived within time booking window
As for trim noise in car it’s an Alfa diesel suggest Lexus may be more refined if that’s what’s required
The inspection was detailed but unfortunately can’t please everyone but we try Our best and report on vehicle as we see at time if inspection sorry you feel this way
Car drove every bit as I would expect from fiat or Alfa group vehicle
We actually arrived at 12.52 on a booking scheduled from 1230 to 1430 window if details on task were read
We can’t help personal preference on refinement we only report faults noted .

Darren was on time and quickly got down to analysing the problem of the car not starting.
He worked through a logical sequence of possible causes, persisting until the car started.
He suggested a few remedies to help prevent the problem recurring.
Overall we were very pleased with Darren’s work & professionalism and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Darren was friendly and arrived on time. He text me shortly before arriving and I met him at the car I was looking to buy. He completed his inspection and took me through the main points that he had come across. I received my report shortly after he has finished his inspection and I was very happy with his service.

Darren was great as I wasn't present at inspection, so his phone call after and his report was of upmost importance, at the end of the call and reading the report felt confident making a decision regarding purchase, I don't like kicking tyres :)
