Your comparison is ready
Know what to check before you decide.
Review the figures you provided and the checks for your selected concern. If a price is missing, you can still use the shop checklist.
Your decision report
Your repair estimate, in context.
01 / Put it in proportion

How we reached this
02 / The replacement side
What would changing cars ask of your budget?
03 / Time horizon
What if you keep the car?
Choose how long you hope to keep it after the repair. This spreads one expense over time; it is not a payment or lifespan prediction.
