The technical inspection by Klavs Simkus was very good. His attitude after that was appalling. He was rude, unreliable, arrogant and could not be bothered to speak to his paying client for hours after the inspection - unlike the AA who were very reliable immediately after the inspection they did.

Great experience! I can't recommend this service enough and Klavs made it very easy for us. He was very helpful on the phone to give us a full report of the car we had inspected. The report was very thorough and in conclusion we would have bought a car that had a lot wrong with it. He was very knowledgeable and used his experience to detect an issue, which lead him to other issues. Very nice to work with as well!

MERCEDES-BENZ E350 SPT CDI BLUECY 265 A

Standard inspection

Klavs did a a comprehensive inspection of the Mercedes E350 CDI and point out that the power steering fluid was rather low. This turned out to be a leaking damaged hose and was replaces when the car was MOT last week. He also pointed out that the small battery in the boot was not keeping charge this has been fixed, and could have been an additional expensive item
