For garages
We use real car noises with a known cause to test and improve Mechd. Independent garages hear more of those than anyone, so we’re asking you to help, in return for a free partner listing.
Mechd sends drivers to garages
Mechd doesn’t replace a mechanic. Every result tells the driver how soon to get the car looked at, and gives them a summary to share with their garage.
So drivers arrive with a better idea of what’s wrong and how urgent it is, and every real recording helps us test and improve those suggestions.
How it works
Register below
Tell us about your garage. It takes a minute.
We show you how
We’ll get in touch from info@mechd.co.uk and show you how to record and send noises to us.
Record before you fix
When a car comes in making a noise, record it on your phone before you start work.
Tell us what it was
Let us know what the fault turned out to be, what you did to fix it, and the car’s make, model and year.
What you get
A free listing on this page for at least 12 months from launch, with your garage’s name, town, phone number and website. We’ll check the details with you before anything goes live.
Who we’re looking for
Independent garages in the UK that see cars coming in with knocks, squeals, rattles, grinds and whines.
Your recordings
We use them only to test, train and improve Mechd. We never publish or sell them, and we won’t name your garage without asking. Please leave out number plates, customer names and talking.
Our partner garages
These independent garages help us test Mechd by recording real car noises. Mechd doesn’t inspect or recommend garages: contact them directly.
Register your garage
No commitment. We’ll reply to talk it through, and a separate recording permission sets out exactly what you’re agreeing to before you send anything.
