I used repairpal to estimate and locate a mechanic to replace my spark plugs. When I got the price it seemed fair si I booked an appointment. I dropped off my vehicle the next day and they told me the price was going to be $300 more!

I told and showed the auto shop the repairpal price. They laughed and said "repairpal gets a commission for sending you to us. They always quote around 50% lower than you'll really oay".

I left. Very poor business model. Quoted price and referral shop below in oics.
