This is the second time Klavs has inspected a vehicle for me, and he’s been outstanding on both occasions. He saved me from making a mistake with the first car, and with the second he gave me reassurance while pointing out a few small issues to discuss with the dealer. The dealer even remarked on how detailed and professional his approach was. I’d happily recommend Klavs to anyone needing a trustworthy independent inspection.

Klavs, very simply was brilliant. He help me avoid making a terrible decision to buy a vehicle that was misrepresented and which he was not able to fully inspect as having identified some issues the dealer halted the inspection. Klavs dealt with it correctly and professionally and has gone out of his way to assist in raising issues with the dealer.
