RepairPal: Your friendly guide to car Repairs and Maintenance


Through an e-mail, a friend living in Texas was bugging me about his car needing tire replacements and an air-conditioning check-up. He's been getting referrals from his co-workers on trying the service of a small-time maintenance shop within his county but I suggested he take the time to rethink about his decision of having his car checked by unauthorized dealers. Cars are an investment and the repairs and maintenance is another concern. And if you want to maintain the best driving experience, you need to be careful in choosing a legitimate repair shop to care for your car. 

I convinced him to search online for Houston auto repair shops and sent him a website link for www.repairpal.com. He drives a 1999 Acura TL and the website provided him with useful information about his car and user feedback and an encyclopedia on cars and its maintenance - from oil change, to brake job to engine and electrical details. Plus, he didn’t have to make a phone call to ask for the repair cost. There's Repair Price Estimator tool that gave him an idea of how much he would pay for the repair.

My friend asked for a favor, and I gave him the favorable option. All the things he need is there. It’s just a matter of searching, clicking, choosing and making the right decisions.
