As far ahead as you like. Pick any date and time that works for you.
How long does it take before my booking is confirmed?
Almost immediately. Your booking is assigned to a mechanic in your area and you’ll get a confirmation on WhatsApp and by email straight away.
I don’t know what job to book?
Use our smart AI search describe what your car is doing in your own words (a noise, a warning light, a smell, a leak) and it will match you to the right service. Still not sure? Book a diagnostic inspection and the mechanic will find the fault for you.
I have not received a confirmation of my booking, has my booking been placed?
You should receive a confirmation on WhatsApp and an email titled “Booking Secured”. If the email hasn’t arrived, check your spam folder. Still nothing? WhatsApp us and we’ll confirm it for you.
Is my booking placed with a mechanic instantly upon booking through the site?
No, not instantly. Upon placing a booking it will be sent to mechanics in your area, once one of the mechanics confirms they are available for your booking will be placed and scheduled as requested. In most cases you will receive a confirmation within 24 hours, and often your booking will be confirmed within an hour of you placing it!
I started a booking, but did not pay yet, can I complete that previous booking or do I need to start again from the beginning?
No. Return to the booking page and the system will offer to continue where you left off. Click OK and you’ll be taken straight back to your last step.
What happens after a booking has been confirmed?
You’ll receive your mechanic’s details, and they’ll arrive at the address and time you booked. We’ll keep you updated along the way.

Fix it yourself in Manage Booking, up to 12 hours before your appointment. Inside 12 hours, WhatsApp us and we’ll update it.
When I booked I put in the wrong telephone number, how can I change this?
