Notes: this estimate is based on dealer supplied information. The diagnoses of a water pump as causing the "no heat" is questionable, as generally a no heat concern is fixed with just a thermostat (outside of any HVAC concerns). Thus, all the car "probably" needs is a thermostat for a touch over $400.00.

Glossary of Terms:

Aftermarket: parts not made by the manufacturer such as Ford, Toyota, BMW ...etc.

MSRP: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price

OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer

Flat Fees: services such as alignments that don't get broken down into parts, tax, labor

Miscellaneous Charges: these can include, but are not limited to shop supplies--rags, chemicals, hazardous waste disposal fees, waste oil ...etc.

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 to obtain the most accurate 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.

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 repair, thus estimates may need to be adjusted.

All estimates are subject to change without notice.
