Edd was so professional in doing a vehicle-check on my proposed new car. The report was exceedingly thorough and very easy to understand. The communication was exceptional in its own right but also there was an offer of further explanation if needed. - Edd was great..... hopefully, all the other mechanics on ClickMechanics are as good. I will definitely use them again.

Edd surpassed my expectations, going above and beyond in both his detailed report, and in rearranging TIME AND LOCATION of the vehicle inspection. He kept me updated throughout and found time outside of regular “office hours” to talk me through his report and to give advice on next steps.
I feel genuinely lucky to have found him and he really gave me confidence going into a big car purchase. I wish Edd all the best and I would definitely recommend Edd and this service to anyone looking for professional advice from a quality mechanic.

Checked the car quite thoroughly and went beyond what was required to investigate about the potential issues in the car. Gave me advice about possibilities of fixing the minor/major issues in the vehicle and discuss it with the dealer.
Would definitely recommend Edward for any used car inspections.
