Not affiliated with the businesses we cover
The site has pages about named repair chains, mobile mechanic services and parts makers. None of them is connected to us. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, Bridgestone Retail Operations, Midas, Meineke, Pep Boys, Goodyear, Christian Brothers Automotive, AAMCO, YourMechanic, Wrench, AutoNation Mobile Service, Bosch, Denso, or any vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
Brand names are used only to say which business a page is about. A page about a chain does not mean the chain recommends us or that we recommend the chain.
How the numbers work
The site shows two kinds of figure, and labels which is which. Published figures come from a named business's own page (for example YourMechanic's per-vehicle starter estimates, or Firestone's written warranty) and carry the date we read them. Ranges not credited to a source are this site's own parts-and-labor model. The methodology page explains both, and where the model and the published prices disagree.
