FixKnow what's wrong — and what it really costs — before you pay.
FixDozer turns real paid repair records into straight answers: the likely causes of your car's problem, how often each one is the fix, the price owners actually paid — and a one-page report you can take to the shop.
Get my estimate1Real repairs, not surveys
Our numbers come from real paid invoices — what was actually diagnosed, fixed, and charged at independent shops across the US. Not directory averages, not a labor guide, not guesswork.
2Odds, not opinions
The same symptom can mean five different fixes. We show how often each fix actually turned out to be the answer — and what it cost when it was the only thing replaced.
3Costs you can hold a shop to
Every repair page carries the typical total, the fair range where the middle half of owners landed, and the parts / labor / fees split — with a confidence rating for the data behind it.
Take your report with you
Every FixDozer page comes with a free one-page document. Download it, print it or keep it on your phone, and put it on the counter when the shop hands you the estimate. No sign-up, no email, no catch.
- The typical total owners paid for that exact job on your make and model, and the fair range a quote should land in
- Parts, labor and shop fees as separate lines — low, typical and high — so you can compare each line of the estimate, not just the bottom
- Typical labor time, what legitimately moves the price, and the questions to ask when a number sits outside the band
- What visits for your complaint usually turn out to be — each likely fix and how often it was the answer
- What each fix typically cost when it was the only repair, so you know whether the diagnosis and the number fit together
- How to tell the causes apart from what you hear and feel, and what a proper diagnosis at the shop should include
Reports describe what other owners paid for the same repair. They are not a quote and not a diagnosis — your year, engine, region and the parts chosen shift the number. FixDozer does not perform repairs and receives nothing from shops.
How it works
Pick the symptom, or the repair and your vehicle. FixDozer matches it against real paid repair records for the same complaint or the same make and model, ranks the likely fixes by how often each one solved that problem, and shows what owners actually paid.
| 83% | Brake pads | $223 – $554 |
| 54% | Brake rotors | $194 – $447 |
| 18% | Brake caliper | $125 – $359 |
| 6% | Brake shoes | $145 – $332 |
Three ways in:
- Get my estimate — a couple of questions about the symptom, then the likely fixes, their costs and the Diagnosis Brief.
- Start from the symptom — what a noise, a light or a leak usually is, and what it costs to fix.
- Start from the repair — what a specific job really costs on your make and model, with the Fair Price Report.
