How it works
A guided comparison that helps you organize what you know, see what remains uncertain, and identify the next useful action.
01
Describe your current situation
Add the vehicle, loan, safety, and household context you know. For current value, enter a ballpark, choose a broad range, or say you do not know.
02
Add the repair evidence
Enter the estimate you received and note whether it is itemized, supported by testing, or confirmed by another qualified shop.
03
Build realistic replacement paths
Enter used and new purchase prices, financing, fees, and monthly ownership changes. The result keeps all three paths visible.
04
Review, compare, and choose a next step
Check the high-impact assumptions, then see estimated cash paid, result stability, what could change the comparison, and what to verify next.
What you’ll need before starting
- Your written repair quote or best estimate.
- A ballpark current value if you have one; you can continue without leaving the product to look it up.
- Your loan payoff, monthly payment, and payments remaining when applicable.
- Realistic used and new replacement prices, financing, taxes, fees, insurance, and maintenance assumptions.
