How it works
- 1
Tell us what's happening
Your ZIP code, your vehicle, and what's wrong in your own words. Already have an estimate? Add it. A VIN is optional.
- 2
Get written offers
We invite three to five screened shops near you that handle your vehicle and repair. Your phone number and address stay private until you choose to share them.
- 3
Compare and choose
See parts (brand and part number), labor, fees, tax, installed total, warranty, earliest appointment, and when each quote expires. You pick the shop.
- 4
Approve in writing
We keep a record of the estimate you approved. If the shop finds more work, it sends a revised estimate and waits for your written OK.
See the difference in writing
Example only: “The dealer says my 2024 Chevrolet Equinox needs front pads and rotors.” Here’s how written offers line up for the same defined job.
| Shop | Parts | Labor | Installed total | Warranty | Earliest appointment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screened Shop A | OEM pads + 2 rotors | $180 | $468 | 24 mo / 24k mi | Tomorrow |
| Screened Shop B | Aftermarket ceramic pads + 2 rotors | $165 | $389 | 12 mo / 12k mi | Thursday |
| Screened Shop C | OEM pads + 2 rotors | $195 | $512 | 36 mo / 36k mi | Today |
Sample figures for illustration, not real quotes.
Screened shop by shop
Every location needs 4.5+ stars from at least 30 Google reviews and a BBB grade of B or better with no unresolved complaints. Shops also sign a written pledge on fees, itemized estimates, warranties, and approval before extra work. Rechecked monthly.
Not sure what’s wrong?
“My car won’t start” gets diagnostic offers: the fee, what it covers, whether it’s credited toward the repair, and any towing charge. Car Help explains the basics.
Honest about how we’re paid
Free for drivers. Screened shops pay a flat monthly membership, with no per-lead fees or commissions. Paying doesn’t buy a better spot.
