Hello,

In the following two examples I understand that there is no difference between do you have and have you got:
Do you have a pen? / Have you got a pen?

However I came across the following exercise:
_____________ your house repainted every year?
a) do you have
b) have you got

The right answer was option A. I didn`t understand why option B would be incorrect.

I think the same applies for these examples I came up with:
I had my hair cut in that posh salon.:tick:
I have got my hair cut in that posh salon.:cross:

Where do you have your car washed?:tick:
Where have you got your car washed?:cross:

Is my line of reasoning correct?
 
Yes, the same applies for your other examples.
