I asked Maurice to look at a car for me, as I am in Canada and was not able to travel at this time. I do my own restorations and wanted a good car to work with. I needed to know if the car was a good car to start with for my restoration. Maurice quickly went  to the location and sent me numerous  photographs providing many pieces of detailed information, some of which I’m sure I would NOT have picked up if I saw the car in person. He saved me time, money and probably years of headaches. He will be my go-to guy for all my future pre-purchase inspections!

Just a quick note to say what a professional ,accurate and helpful service Maurice has provided. I have received the car here in the UK. I’m extremely happy with it. Thanks to the thorough inspection carried out by Maurice I was familiar with the car as soon as it arrived. He didn’t miss a thing. A much more detailed inspection than if I’d viewed the car myself. Thanks Maurice and thanks to Ricky for his technical input..

December 2014 Hi, My name is Ed and I am from Belgium, I am a classic car fanatic and I buy 3 to 5 cars from the US yearly and have been doing so for the last 15 years. I have had good experiences and also very very bad ones were a car was sold to me based on photo's dating back 10 years. Since that experience I have decided to never ever buy a car that I could not see myself and if not possible to have an inspection done on the car. Now you have inspections and inspections. There a lot of companies out there doing so called Inspections. Recently I decided to buy an Austin Healey MKIII of 1967 which appeared in reasonable condition, but how can you judge when you are in Florida and the car is in California. also the car would be shipped from La directly to Europe and I would only see it for the first time when I collect it from the port. We all know these cars can be big problem cars, they were made in England. After a lot of research, I decided to use a company called Memory Lane run by Maurice Mentens. He is not the cheapest out there but I can assure you he is the very best and worth every penny they charge. The amount of photos you receive is quite unbelievable; every inch of the car is put on photo and you can study it at ease and ask all the questions you want. Maurice having restored many cars himself knows where to look and what to show you to enable you to make a perfect opinion on the car. He works on a schedule established in advance and keeps his promises on the dates agreed also I think the guy never sleeps because he answers all your E-mails within hours. The written report is crystal clear and the defects are very clearly mentioned. If I was to rate his services it would be a 10 out of 10 and I will most definitely use him again without any hesitation, he is the best I have ever used, believe me. I know.

Dear Maurice, I want to say an enormous thank you for your extraordinary support. As we told each other in our first contact, the car we were interested in was quite difficult to be inspected. It's an old rare car and it would have been difficult for us to come there. We have had an incredibly detailed report with really high-quality pictures and clever report. Thanks to you, you are an incredibly precious support.

Dear Maurice,

Hi Maurice: It is truly my pleasure to send you this enthusiastic endorsement of your appraisal services, which I found to be comprehensive and rendered very timely.  The catchphrase that streams across your website reads: "Contact me today if you want fast and reliable service."  You certainly live up to that tag-line. It was the day after I sent you the retainer that you inspected the 1940 Ford Coupe Deluxe in which I was interested, as you recognized the car was widely advertised and felt it might sell quickly.  And it was that same day that you sent to me a photo album of detailed pictures, which were much more revealing than the few the seller had posted.  And, incredibly and unexpectedly, it was the following morning that you emailed your 12-page report. Because of all that information and after a conversation with you, I was able to arrive at a fair price for the car.  As events turned out the seller and I were not successful in reaching an agreement.  Although I am disappointed in that outcome, I am pleased to know that I did not overpay, as that model is not the only one on the road.  And the seller may yet come back to me since the car has not sold, although he is now offering the it at a little lower price.  We'll see. Before I close I want to thank Ricky, your devoted and super handsome Chihuahua, for his attention to this engagement.  I could tell that he was giving the car a critical review from the pictures in your photo album.  When the opportunity arises, I will certainly engage both of your services again. (P.S. I was able to purchase the car for the amount we agreed upon!)

Dear Maurice, I still owe you my testimonial for your help rendered on the 1958 Pontiac Chieftain. The reason I send it now is that I just recommended your services to a friend of mine, which I guess says it all. Your professional assistance and expertise has helped me a great deal in making the final decision to purchase the Pontiac. Upon its arrival in Rotterdam the car turned out to be exactly as you described in your very extensive report, to the greatest detail. It has been on the road here for a year now to my full satisfaction. That's why I had no doubt when asked to recommend a good, reliable and professional appraiser. By the way, I'm looking for a pristine 1953 Chevy 3100. If you know one let me know.
