How long does it take to receive bids?

This unfortunately depends on several factors; the amount of Service Providers in your area, the make and model of your car, the work required, etc. The more accurately you let us know what you require the more likely you will receive a larger number of Service Providers responding. New Service Providers are signing up all the time, so we would expect that the response times for the bids to become faster.

When you initially enter your vehicle's registration and postcode the details will then be searched on the national database and automatically filled in. If there are any problems with the look up then there is the option for you to manually fill these details in. Once the vehicle's information is complete we recommend that you describe the issue in as much detail as possible, so that the Service Providers can accurate bid on the work.
