Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A consumer tool that translates collision-repair estimates and work orders into plain English, then suggests questions to bring to the shop, appraiser, or insurer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The site describes a three-pass process: paste repair-order text, inspect a line-by-line plain-English reading, and leave with questions for the shop, appraiser, or insurer. Its worked examples include bumper-cover replacement, front-radar calibration, and paint blending, while the service draws a clear boundary around diagnosis and cost estimates. Access is presented as either a $5.99 seven-day repair-event pass or $19 monthly access, with the former described as non-renewing.
