Klav’s was absolutely methodical in his inspection. The garage actually commentated to me that they had never seen anything like it. He inspected my car with a fine tooth comb. He found some faults and things to fix and to be fair to the garage they did the things and I bought the car. All thanks to Klavs. We had a chat on the phone and I was expecting a 5 minute call…we was on the phone for an hour discussing the car and my options. Really top guy. Pleasure to deal with. The fixes the garage did to the car paid for the inspection and I feel more confident with the car. 5 stars.

Klavs is a real credit to his profession. Even for a rural area I had the report ~48hrs after booking. This enabled me to make a decision regarding a car 100’s of miles away from me, saving me time and money. A few words to describe this service would be punctual, comprehensive, thorough, detailed, knowledgeable, and extremely comprehensive. It is clear that Klavs carries out his work diligently and more impressively Klavs called me to discuss the report in detail, not simply in technical terms but to provide context to his findings and asked me questions to clarify and provide further professional insight, to help me reach a conclusion. I think this service is money well invested for peace of mind, insight into likely future costs, potential purchase negotiations and to avoid money pits. I would undoubtedly use Carexamer and particularly Klavs again in future.

Klavs was at all times patient with my questions, thorough and very knowledgeable with his inspection. He also respected the car and demonstrated an appreciation of the age of the car and the low mileage.
