Help & FAQs

Getting started

What is AutoBook?

AutoBook is a global community for car people: share posts, rev your favourite cars, join Clubs and Hubs, find Meets and buy or sell in the Showroom.

Is AutoBook free?

Yes. Joining, posting and listing in the Showroom are free. AutoBook Pro (€4.99/month or €49/year) adds unlimited AutoBook AI answers.

How do I create an account?

Tap Join AutoBook, sign up with your email and confirm it from the email we send you. You'll need to enter your date of birth.

How do I report a problem or contact AutoBook?

Email us at info@autobook.live and we'll get back to you.

Your profile & privacy

Who can see my birthday?

Other members only see the day and month. Your birth year is never shown to anyone but you. Signed-out visitors can't see it at all.

How do I edit my profile or add a profile picture?

Open My garage and tap Edit profile. You can add a photo, your city and country, job, website, Instagram and the year you became a car enthusiast.

How do I add my cars to My garage?

In Edit profile, type your car's name, add a photo and save. Your cars appear on your profile for everyone to see.

Can people see my photos without an account?

Yes, photos on public posts, Showroom listings and public Hubs can be seen by anyone. Photos in private Hubs are only shown to members.

Posts & feed

What is REV?

REV is our like. Press and hold the REV button to rev a post up to 9,000 rpm — the longer you hold, the bigger the rev.

What is Spotted?

Snap a street car and let others guess what it is. Tap 'I spotted one' at the top of the feed.

How do I make a post?

Use the post box at the top of the feed. Add text, photos or a video, and tag one of your cars if you like.

What's the difference between Everyone and Following?

Everyone shows posts from all drivers. Following shows only posts from drivers and Pages you follow.

What are Props, Tips and Questions?

They're types of comments. Props praise the car, Tips share a mod or fix, and Questions ask the owner something.

What are Reels?

Short videos of launches, exhausts and drifts. Open Reels from the menu to watch or post one.

How do I save a post or listing?

Tap the bookmark icon. Find everything you saved under Saved in the menu.

How do I delete a post?

Tap the bin icon at the top right of your own post.

Community

What's the difference between Clubs and Hubs?

Clubs are for owners of a make or model. Hubs are public or private discussion spaces — buying, selling, asking, local groups.

What are Mates?

Mates are your friends on AutoBook. Send a mate request from someone's profile; once they accept, you'll see each other's birthdays.

How do I join a Hub?

Open Hubs, find one and tap Join. Public Hubs let you in straight away; private Hubs need an admin to approve you.

How do I create a Club, Hub or Page?

Open Clubs, Hubs or Pages from the menu and tap the + or Create button. You become its admin.

What are Pages?

Pages are for businesses: garages, dealers, tuners and detailers. A Page can post, run Turbos and have followers.

How do I find or add a car meet?

Open Meets to see upcoming car meets, track days and cruises. Tap Going to RSVP, or create your own meet.

What games are there?

Launch Control tests your reaction time, and Guess the Car tests how well you know cars. Open Games from the menu.

Showroom

Why do I only see listings from my country in the Showroom?

The Showroom shows cars and parts for sale in the country set on your profile. Update your country in Edit profile to change it.

How do I sell something in the Showroom?

Open the Showroom and tap Sell. Pick a category — cars, trucks, trailers, parts, tools, tyres and more — then add photos, price and details. Listings are free.

How do I buy something safely?

Message the seller through AutoBook, see the item in person, and never send money before you've checked it. AutoBook doesn't handle payments between members.

Turbo & Pro

What is Turbo?

Turbo puts your post or listing at the top of the feed, in Showroom Featured and in search, marked 'Sponsored'. You choose a daily budget and number of days. Any member can Turbo their own posts.

How does AutoBook AI work?

Ask the AI Mechanic about problems with your car, or look up and compare cars with AI Car Specs. Free members get 5 answers a day.

How much does Turbo cost?

You choose from €2 to €200 a day, for 1 to 30 days. Your post stays boosted for the whole period you paid for.

Where can I see how my posts are doing?

Open Dashboard for your revs, followers and reach, and Ads Manager for your Turbos.

How do I cancel AutoBook Pro?

Open AutoBook Pro from the menu and manage your subscription. Perks end as soon as you cancel.
