DIY or Pay the Shop? Know Before You Wrench

Price: $47

What's included?

Instant DIY or Shop verdict — tells you whether to wrench it yourself or pay the shop, weighted to your actual experience level.

Real cost estimates, both ways — parts, tools, labor, and total DIY cost vs. what a shop charges, so you see the savings, cost, and everything needed before you jack the car up.

Recommended parts and tools you'll need — three budget levels of recommendations with fitment warnings, so you order right the first time.

Difficulty rating + safety warnings — input your experience level and find out how hard the job really is and what to watch out for before you jack the car up.

Savings dashboard — keeps track of all DIY and Shop jobs and updates total savings when you log each job as DIY or SHOP.

Works on any car, 1981 or newer — input vehicle year, make, model etc. and the tool will customize the results to your specific car model.

LIFETIME ACCESS - no subscriptions, no ads, only a one time payment. I created this to help car guys save money, a subscription would defeat that purpose.
