Repair cost estimator

Every figure below is the same data as our cost pages, recombined for your situation. Enter your shop's actual hourly rate and the estimate stops being a guess.

Which version of the job the shop is quoting.

Used only where we have a measured rate. Otherwise the national placeholder applies.

Optional, and by far the most accurate input. Leave at 0 to use our band.

Rate source: provisional national placeholder — TODO(verify), not yet from our collected dataset.

Provisional. We have not yet published a measured rate for this selection, so this uses a national placeholder band. Enter your shop's rate above for a real number.

The parts and hours for this scenario are provisional too — flagged TODO(verify) until receipts back them.

TODO(verify): reman compressor pricing and standard repair time by engine.

What this assumes

  • Parts ranges are aftermarket-to-OEM spreads, not a single supplier quote.
  • Labour hours are book-time ranges, not a specific shop’s flat rate.
  • Shop supplies, hazmat disposal, diagnostic fees, and tax are excluded — expect them on the invoice.
  • A rate we have not measured is a national placeholder and is labelled as such next to the answer. It is not a measurement.
  • Every scenario currently carries a TODO(verify) flag. This tool becomes accurate as the receipt dataset fills, not before.

Estimates, not quotes. How we build our numbers.
