Can I request a demo of AutoChain before signing up?

Yes. If you are a garage owner or automotive service provider interested in AutoChain, you can book a personalised demo through our website. The demo is conducted by a member of our onboarding team and typically lasts 20–30 minutes. During the demo we walk through the garage management software, digital job booking, invoicing tools, and customer communication features. We tailor the session to your specific type of business — whether you run a traditional independent garage, a mobile mechanic service, an MOT centre, or a specialist repair business. To book a demo, visit our book-demo page or email business@autochain.co.uk with your business name, location, and preferred times.

How do I submit a data subject access request (DSAR)?

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request a copy of all personal data AutoChain holds about you. To submit a Data Subject Access Request, email privacy@autochain.co.uk with the subject line “Data Subject Access Request” and include your full name, email address associated with your AutoChain account, and any additional details that may help us identify your records. We will respond within one calendar month as required by law. In some cases where requests are complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further two months, but we will notify you if that is necessary. There is no charge for a standard DSAR. Requests from verified account holders are processed free of charge.

How do I cancel my AutoChain subscription?

AutoChain subscriptions for service providers operate on a monthly rolling basis with no minimum contract period. To cancel, you can do so directly from the billing section of your AutoChain account dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain full access until then. If you have difficulty cancelling through the dashboard, email support@autochain.co.uk with your account email and your cancellation request and we will process it manually. After cancellation, your data is retained for 90 days in case you wish to reactivate. After that period, account data is permanently deleted in accordance with our privacy policy, unless you request earlier deletion.

Does AutoChain have a complaints procedure?

Yes. AutoChain takes complaints seriously. If you are unhappy with any aspect of our service — whether relating to a platform issue, a billing dispute, or the conduct of a listed service provider — you can raise a formal complaint by emailing complaints@autochain.co.uk. Please include a full description of your complaint, the outcome you are seeking, and any relevant order or account references. We will acknowledge your complaint within two working days and provide a full response within 14 days. If you remain unsatisfied after our internal process, you may be able to refer your complaint to the relevant regulatory body or seek independent resolution. AutoChain is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for data protection purposes.

Platform Logic

Why Clearer Infrastructure Matters to Both Drivers and Garages

Most problems in vehicle ownership are not caused by a lack of effort. They come from fragmented information. AutoChain is designed to close those gaps by giving both sides a clearer way to keep the history of the vehicle usable after the job is finished.

What better infrastructure fixes

A driver can care about the car and still lose track of service dates if reminders, invoices, MOT history, and approvals all live in different places. A garage can carry out good work and still struggle to retain customers if the record of that work is hard to retrieve later.

Better infrastructure matters because it makes the history usable again. It gives the owner and the workshop a stronger basis for the next decision instead of forcing both sides to reconstruct what happened from memory.

Why it matters in practice

Trust is built when the customer can see what happened, the garage can prove what was done, and the next decision starts with better context than the last one.

Trust improves

Customers can see what happened, garages can prove what was done, and the next decision starts with better context.

Economics improve

On-time reminders protect repeat business, cleaner records support price, and better visibility reduces wasted diagnosis.

Handovers improve

Approvals, complaints, resale discussions, and ownership transfers become easier to manage with a stronger evidence trail.

The market improves

Independent garages and informed drivers both benefit when the ownership story becomes easier to follow.

AutoChain combines driver tools, provider workflows, reminder systems, digital service history, and educational content because each part becomes more useful when it strengthens the same central outcome: a clearer, more credible, and more transferable record of what has happened to the vehicle and why it matters.
