Accuracy & corrections
How we fix and log our mistakes
We’d rather be accurate than look perfect. If something in one of our guides is wrong or out of date, here’s exactly how to tell us, what we’ll do about it, and where we record the fix so you can see it.
Last updated : July 6, 2026
Report an error
Every guide on Car One is written by qualified motor mechanics and automotive specialists, then fact-checked by our Approved Inspection Station team against current Queensland rules, Australian Design Rules and manufacturer standards before it’s published — and reviewed again whenever the rules change.
Tell us what & where
Send the article title or link and the part that looks wrong.
We review it
Our editorial team checks it against current rules and sources.
We fix & log it
If it’s wrong, we correct it and record the change on the article.
What we do when you report something
Every report reaches our editorial team — the same people who fact-check our guides. We assess it against current Queensland rules, Australian Design Rules or manufacturer information, and decide what kind of change (if any) is needed. We aim to acknowledge reports within two business days and to correct confirmed errors promptly.
How we classify corrections
Typos & clarity
Spelling, grammar, broken links or wording that could be clearer. Fixed quietly, and the article's last-updated date is refreshed.
Facts, figures & rules
A wrong fact, an out-of-date regulation or anything that could affect a reader's decision. Corrected and noted in the article's revision history.
Our commitment to you
- We correct confirmed errors as quickly as we reasonably can.
- Significant corrections are recorded openly in the article's revision history — we don't quietly rewrite history.
- We update the last-reviewed date whenever a guide is meaningfully changed.
- We thank the people who help us get it right, and we never penalise honest feedback.
