The process

How it works

GetYourRepairRight is deliberately structured. Every case follows the same documented path, so consumers know what to expect and companies know what is being asked of them.

Step by step

Every case follows the same documented path

  1. 1. Initial assessment

    You answer a set of deterministic questions about the product, the company and what happened. A rule engine — not a language model — produces an initial assessment. The result is an orientation, not a legal conclusion, and it never states that a violation has occurred.

  2. 2. Evidence collection

    You upload the documents that support your account: proof of purchase, repair quotes, correspondence, photos of the defect, invoices. Files are stored privately and are only accessible to people who need them for your case.

  3. 3. Internal review

    A member of our team reads the case, checks the classification, confirms which company is responsible, and identifies missing evidence. Nothing is sent anywhere before this step is complete.

  4. 4. Company notification

    With your consent, we send the responsible company a structured case summary: what was bought, what happened, what is documented, and what resolution you are asking for.

  5. 5. Company response period

    The company is given a response deadline, by default 14 calendar days. Reminders are sent after 7 and 12 days. If no response arrives, the case is marked overdue and reviewed for escalation.

  6. 6. Resolution

    The company may approve a repair, correct a price, supply a part or information, or offer reimbursement. You review the offer and accept or reject it with an explanation. The timeline records every step.

  7. 7. Escalation

    Where a case is not resolved and the facts support it, we may propose referral to a legal partner, a consumer organisation or an authority. This only happens with your separate, explicit consent.

  8. 8. Data aggregation

    Verified, reviewed cases feed anonymised statistics on which issues recur, in which categories, and how quickly companies respond. Nothing personally identifying is ever published.

Before you start

What to have ready

You can submit a report without all of it — but the more of this you attach, the stronger the case summary the company receives.

Check my case
  • Proof of purchase

    Receipt, invoice or order confirmation showing when and where you bought the product.

  • Repair quote or refusal

    The written quote, refusal or service report you received from the company.

  • Correspondence

    Emails, chat transcripts or letters — dates matter more than tone.

  • Photos of the defect

    Clear photos or a short description of what stopped working and when.

What we do with your information

Private by default

Evidence files are stored in encrypted EU storage and are only visible to people working on your case.

Nothing sent without consent

No company is contacted, and no legal partner sees your case, until you explicitly allow it.

Never published as you

Public statistics are aggregated. Your name, address and files never appear in them.

Compensation is not guaranteed. The available remedy depends on the facts and applicable national law.
