Garage Gaffer
Garage GafferHow it works

Simple. Fast. No fuss.

Tell us what's wrong with your car and get an instant, upfront labour price. Book online and drop your car at a trusted partner garage. No ringing round, no waiting on a callback.

The process

Three simple steps, start to finish.

Select your job

Enter your reg or car details, plus your postcode. We'll give you an instant labour price for the job.

Your price is worked out from your exact vehicle and the job you pick, there and then. No waiting on a call back, no vague estimate over the phone.

Pick a date and time

Choose a slot that suits you. No card details needed to book.

You're not charged anything at this stage. Payment only happens once the work's been carried out.

Drop your car

Bring your car to our partner garage at your chosen time. We'll take it from there and keep you posted.

Your car goes to one of our trusted partner garages, not a random workshop. We'll keep you updated and let you know the moment it's ready to collect.

How we check our mechanics

Every mechanic is checked before they take a job.

Not at sign-up. Before their first job on the platform, here's what that actually involves.

DBS checked

Every mechanic passes a Disclosure and Barring Service check before they can take jobs on the platform.

Qualifications verified

We check proof of City & Guilds, IMI, or equivalent qualifications before anyone appears on the platform.

Insurance confirmed

Every mechanic holds their own public liability insurance, confirmed before they take a job.

We're not a directory. Anyone can pay to appear in a directory. We check every mechanic individually, and we take responsibility for who's on the platform.

Common questions

Still got questions?

Can't find what you're looking for? Drop us a line, we're usually back within a few hours.

No, most drivers don't. Just give us your registration (or make and model) and choose the job from our list: servicing, brakes, engine work, diagnostics, and more. Not sure which one you need? Get in touch and our team will help you work it out before you book.

Straight away. Enter your car and the job you need, and your labour price is calculated on the spot, no waiting for a callback. If your job needs spare parts, we'll send you a separate quotation for those within one working day.

Yes. Seeing your price and booking costs you nothing upfront, and no card details are needed to book. You're only charged once the work is complete.

Of course, get in touch if you want to check anything about the price or the job first. Once you've booked, we'll also be in touch ahead of your appointment.

They'll stop and tell you before doing anything extra. You decide whether to go ahead. Nothing gets added to your bill without your say-so.

Get in touch and we'll sort it out with the garage. Every mechanic on the platform is vetted before they ever take a job, so problems like this should be rare, but we won't leave you to deal with it alone.
