Privacy and service records
Effective 13 September 2026
Contact data
The appointment form asks for your name, contact details, vehicle and symptoms only so the service desk can reply and prepare for your visit.
Subscription data
The subscribe form asks for an email address to send shop news and seasonal maintenance reminders, and nothing else.
Purpose and recipients
Details are used to answer your request and, once your car is booked in, to keep its service history and inspection photo links. They are shared only with the providers that run our forms, hosting and email.
Retention
Enquiry details are kept only as long as needed to answer them. Vehicle service records are kept so your maintenance and warranty history stays available to you.
Security
Forms are sent over encrypted connections and access to records is limited to shop staff, although no website can promise absolute security.
Your choices
You may ask to see, correct or delete your information by contacting the shop, subject to any legal record-keeping obligations.
