(Ahem)…before I begin this review, allow me to shamelessly plug MY website www.sceneexchange.com.  Go take a look at it, I’ll wait.

 

 

 

So now you know why I chose to review RepairPal, a nice little, totally free application that will not only give you a ballpark range on what your auto repair will cost, based on what’s wrong, but show you a list of shops in close proximity that can do the repair.  It will even find you the closest tow truck or dealership if you’re broke down on the side of the road somewhere.

This, my friends, is what the iPhone application is meant to be – useful in a jam, totally free, and pretty darn comprehensive.  If I could improve upon it, I’d have it refer you to www.sceneexchange.com for collision repair(shameless plug #2), and I’d have it give possible diagnoses for car trouble based on symptoms, but other than that, I’d swear this app was made by AAA.  

Can't get any easier than that.

    Repairpal is awesome. I recommend their services on my website to help people keep from getting ripped off. I’m a mechanic and I see people all the time who have paid too much for their auto repair and this website helps people to be informed.

    I agree – a very useful app – and free!
