Website Terms of Use
These terms cover your use of the Auto Empire website at www.autoempire.co.uk. By using the website, you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use the website.
These terms cover the website only. Work we carry out on your vehicle is covered by the terms we agree with you when you book it in.

2. Using our website
You can use our website free of charge to find out about our services and contact us. You must not:
- use it for anything unlawful or fraudulent;
- try to hack, damage or overload it, or get unauthorised access to it or the systems it runs on;
- introduce viruses or other harmful code;
- send spam or abusive messages through our contact form;
- copy large parts of it, or use automated tools to scrape its content.
We try to keep the website available, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may change, suspend or remove any part of it at any time.
3. Prices and information on our website
We work hard to keep our website accurate and up to date. But the information on it is general guidance only, not advice about your particular vehicle.
- Prices are a guide. Prices shown are "from" prices or typical costs. The final price depends on your vehicle and the work it needs, and we will confirm it with you before we start.
- Nothing on the website is an offer. A price shown on the website is not a binding quote. Your quote is the price we agree with you directly.
- Mistakes. If we spot an error in a price or service description, we will correct it and tell you before any work goes ahead.
4. Booking through BookMyGarage
Our online booking is provided by BookMyGarage, a separate company. When you book through it, you leave our website, and BookMyGarage's own terms and privacy policy apply to your booking. We are not responsible for how the BookMyGarage website works.
5. Reviews
The customer reviews on our website are real reviews, copied from our public Google and Facebook pages. We don't edit what customers say, and we don't write, buy or invent reviews.
6. Links to other websites
Our website links to other sites, such as BookMyGarage, Google, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and the DVSA. We provide these links for your convenience only. We don't control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or how they use your information.
7. Our content
The text, photos, logo and design of this website belong to Auto Empire Garages Limited or the people who license them to us. You may view and print pages for your own use. You must not copy, republish or use them commercially without our written permission. Customer reviews remain the words of the customers who wrote them.
8. Our liability to you
- What we don't exclude. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.
- What we're not responsible for. We are not liable for loss or damage caused by relying on general information on the website, by the website being unavailable, or by viruses or other harmful material, as long as we have taken reasonable care.
- Business use. If you use the website for business purposes, we are not liable for any loss of profit, business, revenue or opportunity.
9. Your privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we use any personal information you give us through the website.
