Frequently Asked Questions
Customers
What details do I need in order to request a quote?
The quickest way to get your request underway is with your car’s registration number. If you don’t have that at hand, you can use our car look-up system to find your car make and model. You’ll also need to input a few basic personal details – phone number and email – so we can send quotes to you. If you know what work your car needs, simply select the relevant option from the categories. If you need help working out what work your car needs, take a look at our common symptoms section.
How long will it take for quotes to come through?
You’ll receive up-to 3 quotes directly to your inbox within 24 hours, but usually much sooner than that.
What if I’m not happy with any of the quotes?
If you receive your 3 quotes and aren’t satisfied with them, you can reject this round and request a second round of quotes.
What happens after I’ve accepted a quote?
Once you’ve accepted a quote, we’ll confirm details and exchange contact information. You’ll receive the contact details of the Service Provider you’ve selected and they’ll receive your phone number and email address. From here, the Service Provider will get in touch with you directly to finalise your booking. Payment is made directly with the Service Provider, NOT through CarConex. At completion of the job, you’ll both have the opportunity to review your experience.
How much does CarConex cost to use?
CarConex is a free service for customers - we don’t charge you a thing at any point in the process!
Are there reviews on Service Providers?
Absolutely! We know this is an important element to your decision making process. At the completion of each job, both customers and Service Providers have the opportunity to review their experience. You’ll have the opportunity to check these ratings when you receive your quotes.
How do I pay for the work on my car?
You’ll pay the Service Provider directly, NOT through CarConex.
