To save me more headache, he even organised a time with the dealer to look at the car the first chance he got and inspected it sooner from what he initially told me. The report was very clear and detailed. Even though my car came back near perfect he didn't the time on the phone explaining some potential issues with that make & model and how to prevent them in the long run.
