As soon as we have completed the Inspection and Road Test, we will report to you on-site or via a mobile phone within minutes of departing the inspection site.
A written report is prepared the same day as the inspection and will either be emailed, faxed or mailed first class the following day, depending on your requirements.
We can provide - without obligation - a free initial consultation. We will "shadow" or follow you over a mobile phone around your chosen car and you can ask questions over your own findings on the car for our consideration, guidance and advice before any commitment to purchase. In fact, we have even put buyers off cars with some of their findings and questions!
Our charges depend on the size of engine, weight and complexity of the vehicle plus the distance we travel to carry out the inspection.
We provide an exceptional, high class service yet provide a competitive price - contact us for details.
We carry fully comprehensive trade insurance for testing the vendors' vehicles.
