Pricing

How distributor replacement is priced

We are an online mechanic shop with no building and no rent, so the savings go to you. Each mechanic works out parts and labor at their own rate plus a travel fee, which is why bids vary. The lowest bid is offered.

Every quote is a best estimate

If the job needs more parts or time, or a part is out of stock, you hear about it before paying more and can cancel for a full refund.

Pay when it is done

A payment method is held up front to reserve the visit and charged when the mechanic finishes.

Not sure what is wrong?

Book an inspection. What you paid is credited toward the fix if you fix with us. If you decide not to fix it with us, the fee goes to the mechanic's time and travel. If the mechanic can't diagnose exactly what's wrong, you get a full refund.
