Have / Get Something Done

Use have before the thing. After the object, use the done form, not the base verb.

Get uses the same structure and meaning here. After the object, keep the done form.

Personal services

Use it for haircuts, dental checks, eye tests, and similar services. Lisa had her hair cut on Friday.

Repairs

Use it when a repair person fixes something for you. Tom got his phone repaired after work.

Arranged jobs

Use it for jobs you arrange at home or at work. Anna had her windows cleaned before the party.

No. It means another person repaired the car, and you arranged the service or caused it to happen.

In this pattern, both show that another person does the job for you. Get is often more everyday in style.

Use have or get something done for services by another person

Use this pattern when someone else does the action for you, often as a service or arranged job. The focus is on the result, not on the worker.

Put have before the thing and use the done form after it: have my hair cut, have the car repaired. The object receives the action.

Use get in the same pattern: get the car repaired, get my teeth checked. It often sounds a little more informal and everyday than have.

Choose have or get in the same meaning

Both forms show that another person does the action. Choose either one without changing the core meaning of the sentence.
