How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I needed a car expert following a dispute with a garage over engine damage. The expert responded quickly to my request and guided me through the process. I highly recommend them.

I contacted Mr. Bruey regarding a dispute in March 2023. I highly recommend him. He is very professional, attentive to my needs, and offers sound advice. An effective expert. Thank you again.

AVOID THIS EXPERT AT ALL COSTS!!! In a case that has dragged on for several months, this expert is not responding to summonses from the opposing party, nor to my calls, let alone my emails, even though I have already paid the bill.
Perceived Incompetence and High Fees
Dissatisfied clients report paying hundreds of euros for ineffective assessments, incorrect technical diagnoses, or work that yielded zero results.

Hello, €427 down the drain for absolutely nothing, plus €200 wasted paying the garage, also for nothing... No disassembly whatsoever. Bad luck. This expert sides with the opposing party, using the informal "tu" form, which I found very in...

WARNING: NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE DELETED BY THE PERSON INVOLVED. Very quick to take €415, always agrees with you until you pay, no feedback. Says he'll contact the parties since I still don't have brakes on my vehicle, but does nothing. In s...

Incompetent, outrageously expensive.
Good for
- Disputing vehicle valuations with insurance companies
- Inspecting used vehicles and uncovering hidden defects
- Navigating joint expert appraisals
Avoid if
- You require guaranteed continuous communication throughout your case
- You are on a strict budget and cannot risk losing upfront fees
- You need immediate, hands-on support for complex mechanical faults

Bruey Expertises, Avoid them! They're cheap, sure, but they didn't say a word on the day of the assessment and completely accepted the statements of the opposing firm.

A reliable and readily available expert who helped me get a hidden defect recognized on a car I bought from a private seller. The case was resolved quickly; Mr. Bruey is attentive and easy to contact if you have any questions about the necessary steps.

Recommended by Simon Ulrich, attorney at law, Mr. Bruey is a serious and readily available expert whom I could rely on throughout the amicable settlement process, which resulted in a memorandum of understanding between the parties. I highly recommend him!
