Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about QuoteCheck
🏁
General
What is QuoteCheck?
A web app that analyzes mechanic quotes and service invoices to help you avoid overpaying. Upload a quote, answer a few questions about your car, and get an instant price validation report.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to make sure they're not getting ripped off at the mechanic. Whether you're getting your first quote or comparing multiple shops, QuoteCheck helps you understand if the price is fair.
What cars do you support?
We support all major car brands. Our pricing data covers everything from Toyota to BMW, with regional adjustments for your local market.
🔍
Smart Analyzer
What does Smart Analyzer do?
Upload photos or PDFs of mechanic quotes or service invoices. Our AI extracts line items, analyzes pricing against regional data, and flags potential overcharges or red flags.
How accurate is the pricing analysis?
We adjust for your region, car make/model, and shop type (dealer, specialist, independent). Each line item shows a confidence percentage. If something's borderline, we flag it as 'Question' rather than making a definitive call.
Can I just use ChatGPT instead?
ChatGPT doesn't have access to real pricing data for your region and car. QuoteCheck uses curated benchmark data and regional multipliers to give you actually useful price comparisons.
Does it catch unnecessary work?
Yes. If a mechanic quotes you for services that seem unusual for your car's age or mileage, QuoteCheck will flag it for you to question.

Quick Check
What is Quick Check?
Got a verbal quote over the phone? Use Quick Check to validate it without uploading any documents. Just select your car, the services quoted, and enter the price — we'll tell you if it's fair.
When should I use Quick Check vs Smart Analyzer?
Use Quick Check for verbal quotes or when you just want a quick sanity check. Use Smart Analyzer when you have a written quote or invoice and want a detailed line-by-line breakdown.

Pricing & Plans
How much does it cost?
QuoteCheck uses a pay-per-report model. Each detailed analysis costs A$3-5 depending on complexity. No subscriptions required — just pay for what you use.
Is it worth it for a single quote?
Absolutely. One caught overpriced quote can save you $300-1000+. A few dollars for peace of mind is a no-brainer.
What if I'm not satisfied?
If you feel the analysis wasn't helpful, email us and we'll sort it out. We want you to feel like you got value.
🔒
