Help & support
Answers to common questions. Still stuck? We're happy to help.
How does Carpals work?
Post your car trouble once. Nearby shops send you price and timeframe quotes. Compare, message, pick one, and pay the shop directly — Carpals never handles the payment.
Is it free for car owners?
Yes. Posting requests, comparing quotes, and messaging shops is free. Shops pay a monthly subscription after a free trial.
When do I pay the shop?
You arrange payment directly with the shop when you drop off or pick up. Carpals doesn't process repair payments.
How are shops verified?
Shops can verify their phone number and submit their business license for review — you'll see dated verification badges on their profile. Check those badges and reviews before you accept.
Can I cancel a request or booking?
Yes — open the request and choose Cancel. If it was booked, the shop is notified automatically.
