The bill, explained

The Repair Report covers two things almost every household pays for and almost nobody understands:auto repair and home services. We report the news that changes your repair bill — recalls, insurance rules, parts and refrigerant prices — and we publish cost guides with real, sourced numbers instead of "request a quote to find out."

Who we are

The Repair Report is produced by a Miami-based web and SEO team that works every day with auto body shops and home service businesses in South Florida. That work is where our ground truth comes from: we see real estimates, real insurance claims, and real jobs — so when a national headline says repair costs are up, we know what that looks like on an actual invoice.

How we work

• Every news story is put together from multiple sources, which are cited at the bottom of the article.
• Cost figures are researched ranges, not made-up point prices. Your local number will vary — that's why our estimate tables say so.
• When a business appears in our coverage, it's a real business. If we have a working relationship with one, we say so in the article.
• Mistakes get fixed and stamped with an updated date. See our editorial & corrections policy.

How the site makes money

The Repair Report is free to read and supported by advertising and, in some cost guides, affiliate links (marked pages may earn us a commission if you buy through them). Advertisers never see our articles before publication and never influence a number we print.
