Before you do that here's a quick introduction to WhoCanFixMyCar and how the system works. Having registered on the site you fill in your registration plate, the database pulls up basic information on your car and you then use the menus to describe the nature of the work you want doing. It could be a basic MoT, tidying up a scuff or dent before putting the car on sale in the PH classifieds or something more involved. WhoCanFixMyCar then pitches your job to the 4,500-odd garages and repair shops currently on its books based on your location. These include independents, mobile operators, franchised dealers and 'fast-fits' such as Halfords Autocentres. From Sheds to supercars, it doesn't matter what you drive - if you're minded to shop around, the site can do the legwork for you with 33,000-plus drivers currently registered and offering feedback on the service they've received.
The approved operators get an email from WhoCanFixMyCar with the details of your job and respond with estimates based on the information you provided - this can include photos for things like bodywork repairs to help the workshop offer an accurate quote. Initially, garages are able to respond to you via the site's secure internal messaging system, they can follow up with a call to explain more about their business and the job that needs doing.
Having browsed the estimates you simply pick the one that you like the look of - ratings by previous users are all clearly visible - and book the job. WhoCanFixMyCar takes a small commission from the garage, you get to choose the repair that best suits your needs and budget. Easy! You can see a walkthrough of the process here.
