When I search for a shop in my area nothing shows up.
diyshopfinder.com is new and we are constantly looking for new hosts to build the DIY community. If you know of anyone who would like to earn passive income while contributing to the DIY automotive community please refer us to them.
Are my payments and payment information secure?
Yes! At diyshopfinder we use Stripe for all of our payments. Stripe is a secure payment system that is one of the largest in the world for online payments.
What forms of payments are accepted?
diyshopfinder.com accepts most major credit cards.
I would like to talk with the shop Host prior to making a booking, is that available?
Yes, use our secure messaging to ask the Host questions. We want to make sure that you and the Host are comfortable with the arraignment prior to the booking confirmation.
I requested a booking, how long do I have to wait for the Host to respond?
Once you make the booking request we notify the Host immediately.
The Host has 3 days to accept your request, during this time the host may reach out to you through our messaging tool to understand more about your requirements for the booking.
If the Host fails to accept the booking within 3 days of the request, the booking will expire and be canceled, no money charged or changing hands.
When do I pay for my booking and how does the payment process work?
When you submit your booking you authorize payment for the booking and pending charges may be applied to your credit card. Nothing will be charged to your credit card until the Host approves your request, if the request is rejected then nothing will be charged. If the request expires the authorization hold on your card will disappear and nothing will be charged.
The cancellation policy for the reservation will be found in the About information for the shop. You should see the refund into your account within 5-10 business days minus any cancellation fees.
What if I need to cancel my booking?
If you need to cancel your booking and it is within the cancellation policy, flexible (24 hours before the booking), semi-flex (48 hours before the booking), or fixed (72 hours before the booking), nothing will be charged to your credit card. You may have a pending charge show on your credit card but nothing is charged until the booking is complete. If cancel outside of the cancellation policy for the booking there may be an administration fee of 10% of the booking cost. You only need to cancel a booking if the host has accepted your booking request. To cancel a booking:
From your booking request in your inbox, message the host letting them know you will be canceling your booking.
Select “Dispute”, do not select “Mark complete” as this will complete the transaction as if you completed the booking.
An admin will cancel the booking for you and you will receive an email confirmation of the booking cancellation.
After canceling the booking you should see funds returned to your account in 5-10 business days. If you have additional questions please contact support@diyshopfinder.com.
