Launching in Surrey

Car repair quotes in Surrey

Matchanic is launching in Surrey, in south-east England. Post what your car needs with the postcode where it is, and garages on Matchanic can see the job and choose whether to quote. It’s free to post.

How garages see your job

Add your registration and postcode, then pick the job from our list or describe it. It’s free to post, and you create a free account as you post. Garages on Matchanic can see your job: each garage’s Dashboard lists open jobs within its chosen distance of its own postcode, and garages whose distance covers yours may be emailed about it. Each garage decides whether to quote and what to charge, so we can’t promise how many quotes you’ll get, or how soon. You can message a garage about its quote, and nothing is agreed until you accept one. You pay the garage directly.

Each garage sets how far from its postcode it looks for jobs, and until it changes that, it’s 10 miles. So a garage in a neighbouring town may see your job too. Garages can also search for jobs around any postcode, on a list or a map. That’s why the postcode matters: use the one where the car actually is, which may not be your home.

Step by step: How Matchanic works

Where in Surrey we’re starting

Surrey postcodes don’t stop at the county line

Most of Surrey has GU, KT, RH, TW, CR or SM postcodes, but those areas also reach into Hampshire, Berkshire, West Sussex and London. So a postcode can look like Surrey’s when the place isn’t, and the other way round. For example:

  • GU10, a Farnham postcode, also covers Bentley and Crondall, which are in Hampshire.
  • GU17 addresses say Camberley, but the district covers Blackwater and Hawley, which are in Hampshire.
  • GU26, for Hindhead, includes Grayshott in Hampshire.
  • GU27, for Haslemere, includes Fernhurst in West Sussex.
  • RH6, for Horley, also covers Gatwick Airport, which is in West Sussex.
  • TW19, a Staines-upon-Thames postcode, includes Wraysbury in Berkshire.
  • Ash and Ash Vale are in Surrey, but their GU12 addresses have Aldershot, in Hampshire, as the post town.
  • Along the London edge, districts such as KT4, SM2, CR3 and CR6 are shared with London boroughs.
  • Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford, Sunbury-on-Thames and Shepperton were in Middlesex until 1965, when they moved to Surrey. Middlesex stayed on as their postal county, so you may still see it in addresses there.

None of this changes who can see your job. Garages on Matchanic measure the distance to your postcode, not the county it’s in, so give your full postcode when you post, not just the town.

Driving into London: the ULEZ

Several parts of Surrey border London, among them Epsom and Ewell, Banstead, Staines-upon-Thames and Sunbury, Esher and Molesey, and Caterham and Warlingham. If you drive into London, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) applies. According to Transport for London, the zone:

  • covers all London boroughs, but not the M25;
  • runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year except Christmas Day;
  • charges £12.50 a day to drive in it if your car doesn’t meet its emissions standards.

Whether your car meets the standards depends on the car itself, so check its registration on TfL’s vehicle checker rather than going by its age. For exhaust, DPF or other emissions work, see Exhaust and emissions.

Checked against TfL’s ULEZ page in September 2026.

Questions

  • Is it free?

    Yes. Posting a job and reading quotes costs nothing, and you don’t have to accept a quote. If you do accept one, you pay the garage for the work, not Matchanic.

  • Will I definitely get a quote?

    No. Each garage on Matchanic decides for itself whether to quote and what to charge. Matchanic is just starting, in Surrey first, so there may be few or no garages on Matchanic near the car yet, and we can’t promise how many quotes you’ll get, or how soon.

  • Can I post if I’m outside Surrey?

    Yes. You can post with any full UK postcode our map can place, and garages on Matchanic go by distance from the car, not by county. We’re just starting, though, so there may be few or no garages on Matchanic near the car yet, in Surrey or anywhere else.

  • Which garages are on Matchanic in my town?

    We don’t list garages by town. When a garage quotes for your job, its quote links to its profile. There you’ll find what it says about itself, its address if it has added one, and any reviews from other Matchanic customers.

  • Do garages see my address?

    No. We never ask for your address: garages see your name, your car and your postcode. Only garages that quote on your job can see your phone number, so they can call you about the work.

Posting a job is free, and you don’t have to accept a quote.

Request quotes

Run a garage in Surrey?

Matchanic is starting with garages in Surrey too, and workshops and mobile mechanics can both apply. Applying, having a profile, seeing jobs and quoting cost nothing. When a driver accepts your quote, a set commission for that type of job, plus VAT where it applies, comes out of your prepaid credit.
