Terms of Use

Last updated: May 2026. By using HandyCarTools you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Estimates only — no professional advice

All calculations, figures, and results provided by HandyCarTools are estimates for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute professional automotive, financial, mechanical, tax, or legal advice. HandyCarTools is not a financial advisor, lender, mechanic, or dealer. Always confirm important decisions with a qualified professional and with the official figures from your lender, insurer, or vehicle manufacturer.

Vehicle and maintenance data

Fuel-economy specifications come from public-domain government datasets (the U.S. EPA / DOE and Natural Resources Canada). Real-world results vary with driving conditions, vehicle condition, and many other factors. Maintenance intervals shown in the tools are general guidelines, not manufacturer-specific recommendations — always follow your owner’s manual. The data is provided “as is,” without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose.

Your data

HandyCarTools stores your saved vehicles and logs locally in your browser; we do not host them. You are responsible for backing up your own data using the export feature in My Garage. Clearing your browser data will remove it. See our Privacy & Cookies notice for details.

Affiliate and external links

Some links lead to third-party retailers and may be affiliate links that earn us a commission at no extra cost to you — see our Affiliate Disclosure. We are not responsible for the content, products, prices, or policies of any external site.

Limitation of liability

HandyCarTools is provided free of charge and “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its calculations. You use the tools at your own discretion and risk.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; continued use means you accept the current version. For questions, contact [email protected].
