Happy Tuesday !


Do you have some potentially pricey repairs that need to be done on your car? When you take your car to the mechanic, you're paying for the parts and the mechanic by the hour. How much is it all going to cost?


Don't worry, we're here to help! We recently created a tool that can help you figure out how much it will cost to fix something at the mechanic vs at home! Here's how it works:


  1. Select a repair.
  2. Select the vehicle region, OR...
  3. Enter the custom labor rate based on how much your mechanic charges hourly.
  4. Calculate those savings!

⚠️Note: Our Repair Savings Calculator only provides an estimate for the cost of repairs and might not accurately reflect the total cost, which depends on where replacement parts are sourced and what the repair shop charges per hour.


Until next time, ! Don't forget to post your repair story to encourage other car owners to take on their own repairs! Just send us a few pictures and write a couple paragraphs about the problem you were experiencing and what you did to fix it! (You might even have a chance to win a YOUCANIC battery tester if you do!)


Best regards,
