A vehicle-repair second-opinion service that examines an estimate, symptoms, photos, proposed work, and local price context.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The homepage breaks a repair decision into diagnosis support, local price context, and follow-up questions rather than presenting a simple fair-or-unfair verdict. Its illustrative Case 0041 concerns front brakes on a 2019 compact SUV with 82,410 miles: a $1,184 shop estimate is compared with a stated $720–$980 local range. The example also flags missing labor or parts detail, unsupported urgency, and unexplained hardware replacement as questions for the shop.
