Unbolt the caliper and hang it with wire — don't let it dangle.
The Problem

Repair info is scattered, generic, and out of date.

Forums disagree, YouTube tutorials are for the wrong year and trim, and the dealer wants $150/hr just to look at it. Most drivers give up before they even start.

"The forum says five different things"

Generic advice for "most cars" doesn't account for your exact year, trim, or engine.

📺

"This video isn't even my model"

Tutorials built for a different generation can send you down the wrong path entirely.

💸

"$150 just for the diagnosis"

Shop labor adds up fast — even for jobs that take an hour with the right steps.

How it works

From "what's that noise" to fixed.

repAIr: Garage walks you through the whole job — diagnosis, parts, and the actual wrench work — without a trip to the shop.

1

Add your vehicle

Enter it manually, look it up by VIN, or snap a photo of the VIN and let repAIr read it.

2

Search any part

Describe the issue or name the part. repAIr identifies the right component for your exact vehicle.

3

Get a repair guide

A step-by-step guide generated for your vehicle and part — with safety warnings and timing built in.

Why DIY

No hidden labor charges.

Labor is where it adds up. AAA's 2026 survey puts shop labor at $75–$125 an hour at independent shops and $125–$175 at dealerships, and mobile services stack a convenience markup on top. repAIr: Garage hands you the knowledge to do the same job yourself — for the cost of the parts alone. You paid for the car. Stop paying strangers to maintain it.

Who it's for

Built for people who turn their own wrenches.

Whether you're saving for a project car or just don't trust the quote you got — repAIr meets you where you are.

  • Tool list generated before you start — no mid-job parts runs
  • Maintenance log so you remember what you did and when
