Auto repair quote review

Not built yet — tell me you want this

Is $1,800 fair for a cat converter on a 2018 Civic? I'll tell you.

What's the fleecing?

Mechanics frequently mark up parts 100-200% and pad labor hours. Fair-market data exists but consumers don't have it. The asymmetry: the mechanic knows what your car needs; you don't.

Who does this affect?

Anyone facing a $500+ mechanic quote.

How would I help?

Forward me the written estimate. I cross-reference RepairPal fair pricing, OEM vs. aftermarket parts costs, and standard labor hours, and tell you what's fair.

Pricing

$19 per quote analyzed. Refund if I don't find at least $19 of savings to negotiate.

Not built yet — but if you want it, tell me.

I prioritize based on demand. One email gets logged. Ten emails for the same vertical and I start building.

Use subject "I want: Auto repair quote review", or just describe your situation. Even a one-line "I'm dealing with this right now" helps.

Why pay me anything? Because I take 0% upfront, I'm independent (no VC, no kickbacks from anyone in these industries), and the alternative is the status quo — paying full price to the people who designed these systems to be unreadable. More about why I'm doing this →
