Honest Ed's , Kent | ClickMechanic

Edward R
I started in the industry at an independent French car specialist completing all tasks such as cam belts, servicing and other mechanical repairs. I worked there for many years until I decided to leave for university to get a degree.

I completed my degree in motorsport technology and I got a job working for a historic Porche racing team. Whilst there I would undertake full vehicle restoration and race preparation. My specialty was engine rebuilds and machining.

Unfortunately whilst driving to work one day I was hit from behind by another road user at speed. I was badly injured and needed time away from physical work to recover.

I got a job working for the government covering a wide range of policy from MOT to heavy goods and public service vehicles, ensuring Britain's roads where kept safe.

After my injuries had healed I longed to pick up the spanners and get my hands dirty again, so with the support of my family I started Honest Ed's. Offering honest and friendly repairs and advice for your vehicle.

Ed was great and very knowledgeable with my diagnosis. He told me I didn’t need the work doing that I first requested and charged me accordingly. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ed was very good, I explained why I wanted a service and he only did work needed to solve the problems, he couldn't so stopped rather than keep going and charging more, would use him again
