Highly recommend, Brent. Excellent to work with very reliable and trustworthy. I got a pre- purchase inspection completed for a car that I was interested in.I had not seen the car in person because of Covid restrictions. Brent was very deligent in completing the inspection and did a through job with clear details on what needs to fixed and an approximation on additional cost to fix things up. Clearly called out the general issues with similar cars and what I can expect. Very happy with the job and would gladly recommend his service.
