About our auto repair estimates: RepairTrust models established fair pricing practices (as outlined in its eBook Trilogy), and uses state-of-the-art auto repair estimating software and 20 years of auto repair pricing expertise to obtain the most accurate and fair car repair estimates.

Aftermarket part price quotes are based off premium parts, unless otherwise noted.

The labor rate defaults to $100.00 per hour, unless otherwise noted.

Tax rate defaults to 5%, parts only, unless otherwise stated.

Estimates are dependent on customer-supplied information, and can not account for unforeseen circumstances.

High mileage vehicles often require additional parts and/or labor to complete repairs properly, thus estimates may need to be adjusted.

All estimates are subject to change without notice.
