Pre purchase mechanical car inspection. 2023 VW Troc

Adam was great to deal with. He arranged everything with the dealership and, when the first car was unfortunately sold just ten mins before he was due to arrive, he quickly reorganised to inspect a second option further away. Although the car wasn’t recommended, his honest and thorough inspection saved me money in the long run. Highly recommend.
