Exclamation "RepairPal" - Repair Cost Estimates

Looks like an interesting site - it will at least give you a (free) ballpark figure on various maintenance costs for a variety of car makes/models. Can't comment on the accuracy, quotes being in US $$$ while I'm north of the 49th.

I don't think so.

I did an estimate from the site for a recent repair (front disks and pads). The estimate on this site came between $350 - $2400 (disks only).

The bill was ~$600 at the dealer so the estimate range is way off.

Maybe they ripped you? *L*...no doubt it's hard to pin down an exact figure what with various hourly rates etc from region to region. I've see MB prices for various standard service visits all over the map pricewise posted on here. But hey, it's free - you get what you pay for!
