Sample estimate · 2016 Honda CR-V
You're handed a $1,200 estimate and 20 minutes to decide.
You don't know if 2.5 hours of labor is normal, if the part really costs $340, or whether the "fuel system service" does anything. So you say yes — and wonder about it for weeks. FairWrench is the car-savvy friend you text the photo to, except it answers instantly.

Questions
Do you tell me not to do the repair?
No. We tell you whether the price is fair and which items are commonly optional. Safety-critical work is never marked as skippable.
Where do the prices come from?
Published labor-time guides, typical parts pricing, and regional labor rates. We always show ranges, not a single 'correct' number.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Uploads are stored privately and deleted after 30 days unless you save them.
Do you name and shame shops?
Never. Shared results show the repair and the numbers — not the shop.
