How Mychanic works

Three steps from “something needs doing” to a garage booked in — and you never have to ring around.

  1. 1

    Tell us about the job

    Start with your registration. We look the car up against DVLA and MOT records so garages know exactly what they’re quoting on — make, model, colour and year — without you typing any of it.

    Then pick what you need from a list: servicing, brakes, a battery, a diagnostic, a pre-purchase inspection, or describe something else in your own words. Add your postcode so garages near you can find it. No account needed to get this far; you create one at the end so we can show you your quotes.

  2. 2

    Garages send you quotes

    Your job appears to garages on Mychanic. Each garage decides for itself whether to quote, and what to charge, based on the car and the work you described.

    Every quote is a real figure from a named garage. You can open the garage’s profile — their photo, specialties, qualifications and reviews from other Mychanic customers — before deciding anything.

  3. 3

    Choose one and book it in

    Compare the quotes side by side on your My jobs page and accept the one that suits you. The other quotes are closed off, and the garage you chose is told.

    The garage then arranges a date with you and you’ll see it on your My jobs page. Payment is between you and the garage — Mychanic doesn’t take card details or process payments. Afterwards, you can leave a star rating and a short review for the next customer.
