A mechanic hands you a $1,400 estimate and waits. Paste it here. In a few seconds you get what that job usually costs, which lines deserve a question, what can safely wait, and the words to say — before you hand over the keys.
Free check
The itemised lines if you have them, or just what the shop told you. Year, make and model help.
Why this exists
Most people can't tell a fair brake job from a padded one, and shops know it. Thirty seconds of reading before you approve the work changes the conversation.
How it works
Lines and prices if you have them. If not, what they said and the total.
A fair range for each job on your car, which lines look padded or unnecessary, and what can wait.
The questions to ask, and a short script to get the price down or decline the extras — without a fight.
Plans
Buy it once for the bill in front of you, or keep it on for a family with more than one car.
This estimate, line by line, with the exact script to use at the counter.
Every car in the house, every estimate, all year.
Branded Repair Check for your members or drivers.
All prices in USD, handled by Stripe. The free check never goes behind a paywall.
Common questions
You paste a mechanic's estimate or describe what they told you, and it gives you the typical price range for that job, flags lines that look padded, notes what might be safe to decline, and suggests exact questions to ask the shop. It works in plain English or Spanish. It is an informational tool, not a mechanic, and it cannot inspect your vehicle.
The tool offers a free first check. The material provided doesn't say anything about whether what you paste is stored, so we can't confirm that one way or the other — if that matters to you, avoid pasting personal details you're not comfortable sharing.
No — Repair Check gives typical national or regional price ranges, not a quote, and actual cost can vary by your region, the parts used, and the shop. It's always fair to ask the shop for a second written estimate to compare.
No. Safety-related repairs like brakes, steering, tires, and airbags should not be deferred based on this tool. Repair Check is informational only and cannot inspect your vehicle, so anything safety-related needs a real mechanic's judgment.
Use the flagged lines and suggested questions to talk to your mechanic, and ask for a second written estimate if anything looks off — that's always a fair request. Remember the ranges are typical figures, not a guarantee for your specific car or shop, and Repair Check isn't affiliated with any repair shop or manufacturer.
Usted pega el presupuesto del mecánico o describe lo que le dijeron, y la herramienta le da el rango de precio típico para ese trabajo, señala qué líneas parecen infladas, indica qué podría ser seguro rechazar y sugiere preguntas exactas para hacerle al taller. Funciona en inglés o español sencillo. Es una herramienta informativa, no un mecánico, y no puede inspeccionar su vehículo.
La herramienta ofrece una primera revisión gratuita. El material proporcionado no indica si lo que usted pega se guarda o no, así que no podemos confirmarlo con certeza; si eso le preocupa, evite pegar detalles personales que no quiera compartir.
No — Repair Check da rangos de precio típicos, nacionales o regionales, no una cotización, y el costo real puede variar según su región, las piezas usadas y el taller. Siempre es razonable pedirle al taller un segundo presupuesto por escrito para comparar.
No. Las reparaciones relacionadas con la seguridad, como frenos, dirección, llantas y bolsas de aire, no deben posponerse basándose en esta herramienta. Repair Check es solo informativo y no puede inspeccionar su vehículo, así que cualquier tema de seguridad necesita el criterio de un mecánico real.
Use las líneas señaladas y las preguntas sugeridas para hablar con su mecánico, y pida un segundo presupuesto por escrito si algo le parece raro; eso siempre es una solicitud justa. Recuerde que los rangos son cifras típicas, no una garantía para su carro o taller específico, y Repair Check no está afiliado a ningún taller ni fabricante.
