$9 buys the Repair Approval Report
The free checker gives you a quick repair-risk pass. After checkout, paste your sanitized estimate and get a browser-only one-page approval script: what to ask, what to approve now, what can wait, and what to text the shop before work starts.
The paid upgrade is the Repair Approval Report: one browser-only report workflow plus a bundled approval checklist. It includes drive-home safety questions, required-versus-recommended repair wording, parts/labor proof prompts, warranty questions, diagnostic-credit language, and a short text you can adapt before authorizing work.
7-day usefulness promise: if this section does not help you decide what to ask before approving, email support with the approximate purchase time. Do not send vendor names, emails, contracts, addresses, or confidential quote details.
