Your Weight
If you’ve ever been to a carnival or amusement park, you’ve probably seen the people who estimate your weight. They give you a prize if they don’t get it right. But we’re not going to estimate how much you weigh or tell you how many pounds you should lose. That’s just not our thing.

Your Marriage
We can’t estimate how long your marriage is going to last or if your spouse even likes you. You’re the only one who can determine that. But if you use our service, you can save money on your car repairs and spend what’s left over on your spouse instead. That’s a great way to ensure a long and happy relationship.

Your IQ
The only thing we can tell about your IQ is that it must be higher than average if you use our service before getting your car repaired. We can save you money and prevent you from getting scammed at your local service garage. What smart person doesn’t enjoy that? What we can tell you is that your IQ is probably higher than most politicians’ IQs just because you’re here visiting our website.

We’d like to help you out by estimating all of these things for you, but we’d rather focus on auto repair estimates and keeping mechanics honest. Visit us before getting your car repaired for an accurate estimate. As for the other estimates, those are up to you.

1. Understand how a service repair station works. Mechanics are in business to make money. That doesn’t mean that they are out to rip you off, but some of them may “pad the bill” or find other ways to make money from you. If you go in knowing this, you can be more skeptical about what they tell you if it seems a little “off.”

2. Take someone with you. If you know somebody that knows something about cars, they can help you decide what’s necessary and what’s not.

3. Make your budget known. If the mechanic knows exactly how much they have to work with, they can provide less expensive options for you. When you make it clear that you’ll be paying for the repairs instead of your parents, they might go easier on you. Only after you get your estimate for repairs.

4. Visit www.honestautoestimates.com before going to the mechanic. For a small fee, you can get an idea about how much your repairs should cost before you even visit the mechanic. That way, you’ll at least have a reference point from which to base your decision before shelling out a bunch of money.

Remember, not all mechanics are out to scam you. But the ones that are give the honest ones a bad name. Just be careful and patient and you won’t get ripped off.
