Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about booking an appointment and about the professional workspace.
General questions
What is RendezVousAuto?
RendezVousAuto is a marketplace connecting drivers with automotive professionals. You look for a garage near you, compare businesses, and book an appointment online at a time that suits you.
Is the service free for drivers?
Yes. Search, the professionals map and booking are free. Only the deposit required by some businesses is paid online, and it is deducted from the final price of the service.
Which languages is the site available in?
French, English, Spanish and Portuguese. The language switcher sits in the header and in the footer; your choice is kept from one visit to the next.
Are my card details stored?
No. Payments go through our payment provider, which alone handles card numbers. RendezVousAuto stores no banking data.
Car owners
How do I book an appointment?
In a few steps:
- search for a business by city or on the map;
- open its page and pick a service, or none if you simply want an appointment;
- choose a date and a free slot;
- enter your vehicle and contact details;
- pay the deposit if the business asks for one.
The appointment is confirmed as soon as that last step is done.
What is the deposit for, and is it lost?
The deposit holds the slot and commits both sides. It is not lost: it is deducted from the final price of the service, which you pay directly to the professional. If you cancel, the refundable share depends on the rules shown when you booked.
Can I reschedule or cancel an appointment?
Yes, from your customer account, “Appointments” tab. Rescheduling and cancelling stay open until the deadline set by the platform; after that, contact the business directly. Rescheduling checks the garage’s availability again.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a customer account is required to confirm a booking: it holds your appointments, your vehicles and your receipts. Creating it takes a minute and happens during booking.
Can I leave a review about a garage?
Yes, after an appointment you attended. Your rating and comment then appear on the business’s public page: reviews therefore come from real customers, never from a passing visitor.
Professionals
How do I register my business?
From the “I am a professional” button, then “Become a partner”. You describe your business, pick your services and your plan; your page goes live on the marketplace once the subscription is active.
How much does the professional subscription cost?
The price depends on the plan; the full grid is on the “Professionals” page. The yearly subscription is discounted compared with monthly billing, and the plan can be changed at any time from the dashboard.
How are collected deposits paid out?
Deposits paid by your customers are collected by the platform, less the commission, then transferred to your account through a withdrawal requested from the “Payments” tab of your dashboard. The balance of the service is paid to you directly at the workshop.
Can I give my staff access?
Yes. From “Users”, invite your staff and pick their role: business administrator, operations manager, or read-only. Each of them only sees your business’s data.
