FAQ
Car repair estimate FAQ
Is CarRepairQuoteHQ free?+
Yes. Getting your preliminary repair estimate is free. Parts, repairs and third-party history reports are purchased separately.
How accurate is the estimate?+
It is a preliminary range, not a shop quote. An inspection, hidden damage and parts availability can change the final cost.
Why used OEM parts?+
Recycled original-equipment parts can reduce costs. Fitment, condition and availability must be confirmed with the seller.
Can photos detect mechanical problems?+
No. Photos only show visible exterior damage. Mechanical symptoms are collected separately and always need diagnosis.
Is this an insurance appraisal?+
No. This is not an insurance appraisal, repair authorization or diagnosis. CarRepairQuoteHQ is not a repair facility.
What happens to my photos?+
Damage photos are private and used for the estimate you request. They are not published in our gallery.
