VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI PERFORMANCE

Premium inspection

Klavs has provided a great service throughout since first contacted four days ago, totally reliable from start to finish. We cannot thank him enough for his expert assessment, report, photographs and video, which found too many problems for us to take the risk of purchasing the car from a main dealership. I would fully recommend his service with a brilliant web site and on-line reporting tool. Very professional. Thanks again Pete & Ed

ROVER 75 CONTEMPORARY SE V6 A

Standard inspection

Klavs was friendly,and gave a thorough report, which did influence my decision NOT to buy the car seen on line. If you cant 'see' for yourself, the actual car,and make at least make a cosmetic judgement,- less important really than a functional ,mechanical one anyway,using the carexamer format is ideal. Klavs is very knowledgeable,and was helpful, clarifying things more ,in our post inspection telephone conversation. Overall,very impressed with Klavs,and carexamer.Am certainly using again!
