24,650 real UK enquiries analysed from 2025 [EM-VERIFIED]
96% quote response rate within 24 hours (based on our tracking)
4.7/5 average satisfaction from post-job surveys [EM-SURVEY]

Full methodology, metrics, and how we use this data to improve, below.

What We Track

We track every enquiry from the moment it is submitted to the moment the job is completed — and beyond.

Our tracking covers five key stages:

Enquiry submission — how many enquiries we receive, by engine and model.
Quote response — how quickly specialists respond, and how many responses are received.
Quote acceptance — how many owners proceed with a repair or replacement.
Job completion — whether the work was completed, and any issues reported.
Post-job satisfaction — owner feedback collected via surveys 3–6 months after completion.

This data is used to improve our specialist selection, update our cost guides, and inform our editorial content. It also feeds into our specialist vetting and data verification processes.

Methodology

Our outcomes data is drawn from three proprietary sources, all tagged and verifiable.

Source	Data Collected	Sample Size	Tag
CRM Enquiry Data	Enquiry volumes, models, engine codes, condition requested	24,650 unique quote requests, full year 2025	`[EM-VERIFIED]`
Supplier Quote Notes	Response times, quote details, warranty offered	All routed enquiries (sample representative)	`[EM-QUOTE]`
Post-Job Surveys	Owner satisfaction, cost accuracy, willingness to recommend	100+ surveys 3–6 months after replacement	`[EM-SURVEY]`

We also cross-reference with third-party data (e.g., manufacturer TSBs) where relevant, tagged [THIRD-PARTY]. Our published methodology sets out the full process.

Key Metrics

Here are our headline verified outcomes, based on the data described above.

📨 Quote Response Rate

96% of enquiries receive at least one quote within 24 hours [EM-QUOTE]. We track this continuously and remove specialists who consistently fail to respond promptly.

✅ Completion Rate

Of owners who accept a quote, 92% complete the repair or replacement with the specialist they selected [EM-SURVEY]. The remaining 8% typically choose to scrap the vehicle or delay the work.

⭐ Post-Job Satisfaction

Average satisfaction score of 4.7/5 based on 100+ post-job surveys [EM-SURVEY]. 89% of respondents said they would recommend our service to a fellow BMW owner.

Full breakdowns by engine, model, and specialist are available in our case studies and data reports.

How We Use This Data

Outcomes data drives everything we do — from vetting to content to recommendations.

Specialist vetting. We use completion rates and satisfaction scores to review specialists continuously. Those who fall below our thresholds are routed fewer enquiries or removed entirely. See our vetting criteria.
Cost guidance. Our economics pages are updated with real quote and final cost data, ensuring our cost ranges reflect actual market prices, not estimates.
Failure patterns. Enquiry descriptions and mechanic notes feed into our failure guides, ensuring they reflect real-world conditions.
Editorial independence. We never let outcomes data influence our editorial verdicts — if an engine has a high enquiry volume but low satisfaction, we state both facts plainly.

We also publish our corrections log and data verification process to maintain accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you collect post-job satisfaction data?

We send a survey to every owner who uses our service, 3–6 months after the job is completed. The survey covers cost accuracy, workmanship, communication, and willingness to recommend. Responses are anonymous and aggregated.

Is the 96% response rate for all specialists?

Yes, it is averaged across all active specialists. Specialists who fail to respond within 24 hours consistently are removed from routing, which keeps the average high.

Can I see outcomes for a specific engine or model?

Yes. Our data pages and case studies provide breakdowns by engine and model. We also publish annual failure indexes that include outcome data.

Do you track whether repairs are done correctly?

We track post-job satisfaction and any reported issues. We also follow up with specialists to understand any failures or disputes. This informs our ongoing review process.

How do you ensure outcomes data is accurate?

Every number is tagged and traceable to its source — CRM data, specialist notes, or survey responses. We also cross-check against third-party data and publish our methodology. Our corrections log records any data corrections.
