Help & Rebuild – The UK Car Rebuild Community
Your project.Your parts.Your community.
Build it. Find it. Get it back on the road.
Post your project, find the parts you need, buy and sell with other enthusiasts, and connect with automotive businesses — all in one app.
Three steps
How it works
From a stalled project to getting it back on the road, with the community and UK shops behind you.
- 01
Post your rebuild
Share photos of your project, what happened to it and the parts you still need. Your wanted-parts list goes out to the whole community.
- 02
The community helps find the parts
Members who have a part you need can offer it to you and message you to sort the details. Part-match alerts tell you when a matching part is listed in the marketplace.
- 03
Compare quotes from trusted UK restoration shops
Send one request with photos to up to five shops that have claimed their listing, then compare prices and timescales side by side in My Quotes. Every claim is confirmed by phone.

Reply to quote requests
Members send jobs with photos to up to five shops at a time. Reply in the app with your price and timescale, and the member compares the quotes side by side.

Listing your shop, answering quote requests and replying to reviews are free — always. Business adds the tools that put your shop in front of every rebuilder in the UK and help you win the job before anyone else has replied.

Instant AI quotes
AI drafts your price and reply from the request, its photos and your stock. You check it and tap send — a minute, not an evening.

Business dashboard
Profile views, enquiries, quote win rate and response time — see what's working, week by week.

Business claims jump the queue: we ring the number on your listing to confirm it's you, then the Verified tick shows on your profile and every quote.
Breaker Stock tag
Every part you list carries the purple BREAKER STOCK tag in the marketplace and Smart Find, so buyers know it's from a business.

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. Help & Rebuild is free to download, and the community is free to use: posting your rebuild, wanted-parts lists, buying and selling parts, messaging members and requesting quotes from shops. Optional Pro membership (£4.99 a month or £29.99 a year) adds AI tools such as the AI Rebuild Assistant and Smart Parts Finder. Shops can list themselves and answer quote requests for free, and optional Business membership adds extra tools for them.
Is it UK only?
Yes, for now. Help & Rebuild is built for UK car rebuilders: prices are in pounds, the shop directory lists UK businesses, reg lookup reads UK number plates and parts links point to UK suppliers. The iPhone app is available on the UK App Store.
How are shops vetted?
Any UK automotive business can appear in our shop directory, but nobody can take over a listing until we've checked them. When someone claims a business, we ring the phone number on its listing to confirm they really work there, usually within 48 hours. Only then does the listing get its Verified tick. Reviews come from Help & Rebuild members, and a listing with wrong details can be reported from its page. We don't inspect workmanship ourselves, so read the reviews and agree the price and the work in writing before a job starts.
When is Android coming?
Soon. The Android app is built and in testing ahead of its Google Play launch. Join the Android waitlist on this page and we'll email you as soon as it's live.
Join the Android waitlistHow do I list my shop?
