What is Autodata
Overview
Autodata is a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) product providing technical information, diagnostics and repair data for automotive professionals.
It is commonly used by workshops and technicians to access wiring diagrams, repair procedures and vehicle-specific data via a web platform.
Who uses it
The service targets independent garages, dealer workshops and automotive technicians who require up-to-date repair information and diagnostic guidance.
Access is typically delivered by user accounts under paid subscription plans rather than one-off purchases.
How to cancel Autodata
Primary official route
Autodata’s corporate FAQ directs users to contact the company via the website contact channels to manage subscriptions and cancellations.
Start by using the contact or support form on the Autodata corporate site to submit your cancellation request.
Alternative routes commonly reported
- Cancel via your Autodata account online if an account self-service cancel option is available.
- Request cancellation by phone with customer service if phone support is offered; keep the agent name and time of call.
- Send a written cancellation letter or email to the company address (registered office) and request written confirmation.
- If you subscribed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), follow the respective platform’s subscription cancellation steps.
Step-by-step cancellation checklist
- Gather account details: username/email, subscription ID, recent invoices and payment method.
- Use the Autodata contact form to submit a clear cancellation request and request written confirmation.
- Save confirmation screenshots, reference numbers or emails; follow up if you do not receive confirmation within a few days.
- Monitor your bank/card statements after cancellation to confirm no further charges.
What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
Typically, canceling a paid subscription will stop renewal at the next billing date unless Autodata’s terms state otherwise.
Your access may remain until the end of the paid term; confirm the exact access end-date in the cancellation confirmation.
Data, exports and account closure
Before cancelling, export or save any data you need from the service since access to stored data can be lost after termination.
Ask Autodata how long they retain account records and whether you can request permanent deletion if required.
Will I get a refund?
What is known from published information
Autodata does not prominently publish a clear, general refund policy on its corporate pages; users are directed to the Product Terms and Conditions for specifics.
Independent third-party terms referenced by others indicate certain Autodata-related sellers state a 'No Right of Withdrawal' once an order is accepted.
Exceptions and practical steps
- If you believe a charge was incorrect (billing error, duplicate charge, trial charged in error), contact support immediately and request written confirmation.
- Document service faults or missing functionality if seeking a refund for breach or defective service.
- If payments were taken after you cancelled, consider raising the case with your card issuer for a dispute/chargeback while you continue to pursue written confirmation from Autodata.
Autodata plans and pricing
Public pricing availability
No clear, itemised pricing is published on Autodata’s public corporate FAQ pages for all markets.

Your consumer rights in India
General legal protections
Indian consumer protection law provides remedies for deficiency of service, unfair trade practices and misleading representations.
These protections apply to online subscriptions where the service is deficient or the contractual terms are unfair or violated.
Practical actions for Indian consumers
- First, present a written complaint to the service provider and keep copies of all correspondence.
- If unresolved, you may approach the local Consumer Forum or file a complaint with the appropriate consumer protection authority in India.
- Consider contacting your bank/card provider to dispute unauthorized or recurring charges while pursuing the provider for a refund.
Customer experiences
Summary of reported issues
Public reviews include multiple reports of customers having difficulty cancelling subscriptions and of recurring charges despite cancellation attempts.
Other common complaints reported publicly are slow or unhelpful customer service and dissatisfaction with some content coverage or pricing changes.
Positive or neutral reports
There are fewer widely-cited positive reviews in the public sources used for this guide; some users do report satisfactory access to technical data when service functions as expected.
Always seek written confirmation of cancellation and keep records to avoid disputes.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents to keep
- Account email/username and subscription ID.
- Invoices and payment receipts for the subscription period.
- Copies/screenshots of cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and contact-form submissions.
- Bank or card transaction IDs showing charges and dates.
Supporting evidence for disputes
- Phone call details: date, time, and agent name if you cancelled by phone.
- Evidence of service faults (screenshots, error messages) if claiming a refund for defective service.
- Record of any price-change notices or contract terms that you believe were breached.
Common mistakes
Assuming platform cancellation is automatic
Many users assume deleting the app or closing an account removes the subscription; this does not always stop billing if the subscription is billed via the website or a third-party platform.
Not getting written confirmation
Failing to obtain and keep written confirmation of cancellation is a frequent error that complicates disputes.
Also, not checking billing cycles can lead to unexpected charges if cancellation is submitted too close to the renewal date.
