Why it matters
A shop may charge different prices depending on parts quality, local labor rates, diagnostic work and vehicle configuration.
Price estimates are educational calculations, not professional diagnoses or guarantees.
Repair cost calculator
Start with your Wrangler brake repair or enter any parts-and-labor quote.
⚡ Smart setup & automatic calculations
Select a repair to load its item list, then edit prices using a parts listing or mechanic estimate. Calculations update while you type and your draft is saved on this device.
Example values are illustrative, not verified parts prices or standard labor times. Tax is modeled on parts only; your local rules may differ.

Questions to ask your mechanic
Get a ready-to-use checklist tailored to your repair. Helps you verify why a part was changed and exactly what the price covers.
📷 Smart Receipt Scanner
Take a photo or choose a receipt image. The scanner reads text, checks itemized math, and helps compare the total with your own researched price range.
Important: A receipt adding up correctly does not mean the shop price is fair. Compare against a credible market estimate before making a deal judgment.
Image recognition runs in your browser after the OCR library loads. The photo is not sent to AutoRepair IQ's server. Recognition can make mistakes: verify the text, line items, taxes and total before using results. No live fair-market pricing is provided.
What the scanner can verify
It can check extracted totals and classify readable line items, but it cannot prove a price is fair without verified local parts and labor data. Always compare the same parts, work, warranty, fees, and taxes before deciding.
⚡ Paste & analyze a mechanic quote
Copy line items from an estimate or invoice. AutoRepair IQ can identify amounts, check the arithmetic, and populate Shop A after you review them. Runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.
📄 Upload a mechanic quote or receipt
Choose a PDF estimate, invoice, or receipt, including a scanned PDF. You can also choose a saved text file. Review the extracted amounts before comparing prices.
Important: On long invoices, only the first five pages are analyzed and transferring a partial invoice is blocked. Supports text PDFs and up to 5 pages of scanned PDFs (OCR on image-only pages). 12 MB maximum. Extracted figures may be inaccurate, especially in tables or faint scans. Check the original quote before approving costs.
Import a PDF above, scan a photo, or paste text. Unsupported lines stay visible for manual review. Arithmetic checks do not verify fair-market prices.
Itemized quote checker
Check that the parts, labor, fees, and tax add up to the price your mechanic quoted.
Repair price range builder
Build a transparent low-to-high cost range from parts listings and labor estimates you research. This is not a live market-price feed or an automatic fair-price verdict.
Formula: parts + (hours × hourly rate) + fees + modeled tax on parts. Confirm estimates, warranties, fitment and any additional charges before approving a repair. Values are saved in this browser.
