Is your car under a recall?
Enter your VIN to see your exact vehicle and any safety recalls issued for it. Recall repairs are free at a dealer for your brand. Data comes straight from NHTSA.
What would the part cost at retail?
Every written offer on ShopCheck lists each part’s brand and part number. Tap Retail reference to open that exact part at RockAuto, AutoZone, NAPA, or Amazon and see what it sells for.
Example only. A shop’s parts price often includes sourcing and a parts-and-labor warranty, so retail is a reference, not what a shop should charge.
Get itemized written offersSee it before you say yes
Every offer, itemized and side by side.

Example for illustration. Not real shops or quotes.
No surprise charges.
When you choose a shop, you approve the exact scope and price in writing. If they find more work once your car is apart, they send a revised estimate, and nothing proceeds until you say yes. Your approvals are saved, so you can check that your final bill matches.
And you can always say no. You never have to accept an offer or approve a repair, and you only owe for work you authorized.
Written approval (example)
I choose Shop B and approve this written estimate for $389.00. No work beyond this scope may proceed without my further written approval.

Honest about how we’re paid
ShopCheck is free for drivers. Screened shops pay a flat monthly membership to receive requests, with no per-lead fees and no commissions on your repair. Paying never buys a better spot, and we never push you toward a particular shop. You choose.
Not sure what’s wrong yet? Ask for diagnostic offers instead: the fee, what it covers, whether it’s credited toward the repair, and any towing charge.
