Has anyone heard of or used them? I'm taking my car there for an inspection for a potential buyer.
Just wanted to make sure there are no horror stories behind them?
Any advice in letting someone inspect your car (removing kit etc)

Best thing to do is to be present when the inspection is taking place and if they need anything removed that can be viewed from the outside of the car, do it yourself.
If you get to see any faults or problems at least you and the potential buyer are sufficiently informed to agree the solution (discount, replacement part or remove, clean/repair and refit).
Good luck.

Il be there from about 10.30am on Thursday, with a guy who is paying them to inspect the car. I'm hoping there's no gremlins or crust lurking anywhere.

There's bound to be something, I just hope I dont drive home Fred flintstone style!
I'm quite interested to see just what is lurking, seems a very solid car all round but I've never seen under the kit and I know how much they can hide.
Just another overpriced turd I suppose.

Well the guy had a good poke around underneath and only found very minor issues, and some early signs of surface rust. (happy days) having said that, he never removed the kit in the end, no signs that it would have been hiding anything though.
