This is the 3rd time I've used Edd, once again he went above and beyond to help me out. His report was comprehensive and he gave expert advice on what to get fixed on a pre purchase check. He is friendly and I trust the work he does and will always use him in the future. I feel confident that if I buy the car he will have found all the gremlins waiting for me.
Thanks again Edd.

Mechanic was great. Half the price of RAC & AA. ClickMechanic didn't realise the van was 7 tonne (iveco daily panel van in fairness), but mechanic still carried out all the work except for the test drive (didn't have a hgv licence). Still great value.

Ed was amazing from start to finish in my pre-purchase inspection for a van. As I live in Scotland and the van is in England, it was proving logistically difficult for me to make sure I was certain on my decision. He totally went above and beyond, his report was thorough and I could tell he genuinely cared and took pride in his work. He continued to be available to check over receipts/reports after the inspection, which was incredibly generous of him. Really can't recommend enough.

Communication was absolutely top notch. I was kept informed the whole time, pre inspection contact to find out requirements and what I'd like to know etc. Kept up to date with visit and expected timings for report and then phone contact post report to give me time to read and get questions which is for me absolutely the best way to do things.
Very personable but also clearly extremely knowledgeable in his field.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs pre purchase inspection.

Edward was a highly professional and very thorough motor engineer who provided me with a full and detailed appraisal of my recently purchased Jaguar XJ8. His explanation of his findings and recommendations were clearly communicated both verbally and in his subsequent report - I would judge his service as excellent. His detailed report came to me but a few hours after the inspection.
I would have no difficulty in recommending him to anyone else requiring a comprehensive evaluation of a motor vehicle.

Edd's very prompt pre purchase inspection report was very detailed and thorough. The follow up conversation was then great to discuss through the issues found, their relative severity and expected cost to fix.
