Privacy policy

Mechanic Compare (mechaniccompare.co.uk) sets out in this notice how we treat data linked to your use of the site. Get in touch at [email protected] with any questions.

Technical data collected automatically This site has no registration process, so we don't ask you to hand over personal details directly. Nevertheless, when you browse the pages your browser automatically sends our server routine technical information — your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested — which is stored in standard server logs.

Cookies used for analytics and ads Cookies may be used on this site to understand traffic patterns and to support advertising. Some advertising partners, which may include Google, use cookies to serve adverts tailored to your browsing interests. To control or opt out of that kind of advertising, visit myadcenter.google.com.

How garages and mechanics are listed Garages & MOT centres, mobile mechanics and body shops & accident repair specialists appear on this site with details, star ratings and reviews taken from publicly available Google Maps listings. We do not verify or create this content ourselves. A garage that wants its entry corrected or removed should contact us by email and we will act on the request.

Your rights Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access personal data we may hold about you, request its correction or erasure, and object to how it's processed. If you feel a request hasn't been handled properly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

External links Links on this site lead to the individual websites of listed garages and mechanics, as well as to Google Maps. We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the privacy practices found on those external sites.
