Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the website garageadvisoruk.com (the "Site") operated by Garage Advisor UK ("we", "us", or "our").
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. What This Site Is — and What It Isn't
Garage Advisor UK provides general automotive guidance based on real-world workshop experience. The content on this Site is published for informational and educational purposes only.
It is not a substitute for professional vehicle inspection, diagnosis, or repair. Every car is different. Every fault has context that cannot be fully assessed through a website article. If you are in doubt about a vehicle fault or safety concern, consult a qualified garage or technician without delay.
We do not claim that any specific diagnosis, cost estimate, or repair recommendation on this Site will apply exactly to your vehicle or your situation.
2. No Professional-Client Relationship
Your use of this Site does not create any form of professional-client relationship between you and Garage Advisor UK, its authors, or contributors. Nothing on this Site constitutes formal technical advice, legal advice, or financial advice.
3. Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information published on the Site is accurate and up to date. However, automotive advice can age. Service intervals, part prices, garage labour rates, and common fault patterns change over time.
We do not guarantee that all information on the Site is complete, accurate, or current at the time you read it. Use it as informed guidance, not as your sole decision-making reference.
4. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for any decisions you make about your vehicle based on information obtained from this Site. We are not liable for any loss, damage, injury, or expense arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content — whether direct or indirect.
If your car is showing a warning light, making an unusual noise, or behaving in a way that concerns you, the only safe default is to have it checked by a qualified professional. Do not delay.
5. External Links
The Site includes links to external websites and resources. These links are provided for convenience and context. We have no control over the content, accuracy, or availability of external sites and cannot accept responsibility for them. A link does not imply endorsement.
6. Intellectual Property
The written content, site structure, and branding of Garage Advisor UK are our intellectual property. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content for commercial purposes without prior written permission.
You are welcome to share links to our articles and quote short excerpts with appropriate attribution and a link back to the original page.
7. User Conduct
If you interact with the Site — for example, through comments, contact forms, or any future community features — you agree not to post anything unlawful, abusive, spammy, or misleading. We reserve the right to remove any such content at our sole discretion.
8. Advertising and Affiliate Links
The Site may, now or in the future, display advertising or include affiliate links. Where affiliate links are used, this will be disclosed clearly on the relevant pages or posts. Clicking an affiliate link does not affect the price you pay.
Our editorial content is not influenced by advertising or affiliate relationships. We recommend products and services only where we believe they are relevant and useful to our readers.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, Garage Advisor UK and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content.
This includes, without limitation, loss or damage arising from:
Decisions made about vehicle repair or maintenance
Delays in seeking professional vehicle inspection
Inaccuracies or omissions in published content
Third-party products or services linked from the Site
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under UK law.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We recommend checking this page occasionally.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
