The regulations only apply to a “small garage” with less than 250 employees IF you are processing “personal data” ie your processing information such as your customers religion. If your just raising an invoice with your VAT number on and their car details and address you are not processing personal data, merely carrying out your legal duties for tax collection and warranty validation that the car is being maintained to manufactures specification by using the correct oils and not the cheapest oils for instance. If they ask you to send a mot reminder that is fine as it is not processing personal data.
If your over 250 employees you really should have a full time data protection officer which will be minimum £85k plus.
