One place for your car

Help that starts on your driveway

Fobbed is for the maintenance and repairs you want to tackle yourself, with a considered route to a garage when a job is beyond your tools, experience or comfort.

  1. Your vehicle profile

    Add a vehicle by registration, check the details Fobbed can find, and correct anything that does not match. Keep more than one vehicle in your account and choose which one each question is about.

  2. Written and spoken DIY help

    Ask how to change a bulb or tackle another basic job in your own words. Get instructions in writing and by voice, with tools, preparation, checkpoints and clear stop conditions.

  3. Noise and warning-light triage

    You can describe a symptom, share a recording or connect a supported reader. Fobbed can explain possible causes and uncertainty; a sound or a code is evidence to investigate, not a guaranteed diagnosis.

  4. A garage loop when the job is bigger

    You choose whether to share the vehicle and job details for local quotes. Compare real responses, select a garage and confirm the offered booking before anything is arranged.

  5. MOT reminders for every account

    Keep the next due date visible, get reminders before it expires and choose whether to ask Fobbed to help arrange a test.

Useful help is honest about its limits

Vehicle records do not contain every repair detail, so you should check the car information before relying on it. A model, sound recording or reader cannot inspect your car in person. Fobbed should ask when it lacks the right information, avoid unsafe instructions and make your next sensible step clear.
