Shiek had a bad attitude and I didn't have a good feeling about the Pre-Purchase inspection being done on my vehicle. Regardless I saw it as prudent so I went forward with it. They came up with a list, so I guess I trusted it based on the number of items present. Things they missed and omitted from the inspection report included low indicated engine oil pressure on the gauge in the dash and nonfunctional ABS (the warning lamp has never come on and the ABS doesn't work. Never has under my ownership. It should come on when the car is started.) They also missed several key signs of obviously failed hydraulic accumulators. I feel like these issues are key and worth much more in repairs than the issues they did come up with (such as tire condition, which I knew about, old hoses and belts, which I knew about because I could see them, a few obviously broken electrical functions, and a few leaks that might be concerns but so far nearly 3 months in haven't been evidently leaking)
On top of that the person I bought the car from encouraged me to use this particular inspection service, so that combined with the bad attitude and careless handling of the inspection have made my experience with Bacchus British Service feel like dealing with bad tempered crooks in retrospect, but hey, you win some you lose some. I learned from it, and what I learned was to always insist on your own independent mechanic, and never go to one that the shop selling the car suggests.
