Excellent mechanic, meticulous ore vehicle inspection. Edward found a fault which the garage agreed to repair before collection, exceeded what was expected!

Ed Holt was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I've reviewed him on another pre-purchase inspection and my opinion remains the same - exceptional work.
I'm very happy with the work performed and I'm in the process of buying the car.

Ed Holt was brilliant. Intelligent and very knowledgeable about the process and pitfalls of buying a used car. He is a superb diagnostic mechanic and is courteous, punctual, very pleasant to speak to, professional to a fault, and kept me up to date at every step of the process.
He saved me from buying a good looking car which I had investigated (full history by Motorcheck - also recommended and inexpensive). Ed's report showed the car to be well dodgy - engine camshaft, inept respray, possible disguised repairs, loose exhaust, corrosion on drivetrain, multiple ECM faults and several faults deleted by previous owner, etc.
). The report was very comprehensive and Ed added his own checks and observations free of charge.
He saved me a fortune. I would recommend him unreservedly.

Extremely prompt, went above and beyond. Contacted the seller himself and brought the booking forward which was excellent for us as the situation was time sensitive. Had the report to us within the hour, spent time explaining things to us in detail and answering any questions we had. Very easy to talk to. Overall, stoked with the whole process.
