Worth questioning
Our take: labor hours ran above typical. One question to ask: “Book time for this job runs about 1.4–2.2 hours — is something extra included?”

§1 How it works

01

Snap your quote

Photo or PDF, straight from the service counter or your inbox. Nothing else to fill in.

02

We check every line

Each repair is compared against fair price ranges for your exact vehicle — parts, labor, and how urgent it really is. Every number on the report is one printed on your quote or one from our price data; nothing is estimated.

03

You get the report

Line by line: where each job sits against the typical range, and which lines are worth a question at the counter — in plain words, in a couple of minutes. Leave your email if you want a link back to it.

§2 What your report looks like

Quote check · $1,218.50 total4 lines
Front brakes — $824.50Worth questioning

Typical range: $340–650. Labor hours above book time. Ask: “What brand of pads is this for — and would you re-quote with Akebono?”

Coolant flush — $213.00Looks fair

Top of the typical range. Ask when it was last done — it's an interval service.

Cabin air filter — $138.50Worth questioning

Part is $89 vs. ~$32 retail. This one installs behind the glovebox in 5 minutes — fine to decline and DIY.

Shop fees — $42.50Standard

3.5% of the total — within common shop-supply policies.

§3 The fine print, up front

🔒 Private by defaultNames and personal details are removed after your audit. Anonymized pricing data improves future checks — never shared with shops, never sold.
🔒 Nothing inventedEvery figure comes from your quote or from published price ranges; the report never guesses.
🧾 Ranges, not accusationsWe show where your numbers sit and what to ask. You decide what to do — it's your call and your car.

§4 Fair questions

Is it actually free?

Yes. The line-by-line check and report are free. If a repair looks worth a second opinion, we may point you to nearby options — that's it.

How fast do I get the report?

A couple of minutes. You watch each step finish on the page, and the whole report appears right there — no email needed. If you want to come back to it later, leave your email and we send you a link that works for 30 days.

What happens to my quote after?

The photo is deleted within two days. Your name and personal details are stripped out; the anonymized repair prices join our dataset — that's how every check gets more accurate. Nothing is shared with shops, sold, or used for spam. No account required.

Will this tell me if my mechanic is ripping me off?

It tells you where every line sits against typical ranges and which questions will get you straight answers. Most quotes have a mix — some fair lines, some worth pushing on. You'll know which is which.
