How it works
Three steps to the right mechanic
No phone tag. No vague estimates. Just clear answers from local shops that want your business.
Tell us what your car needs
Describe the problem in plain words, or enter your OBD2 code if you have one. It takes about a minute, and you can add your availability.
We broadcast your service request
Your request goes out to local autoshops that handle that kind of work. They reply with real quotes, including pricing and how soon they can take you.
Pick the right mechanic and book
Compare the quotes side by side, choose the shop that fits your budget and schedule, and book online. Your service history stays in one place.
Why AutoShops.com
Car repair that finally makes sense
We take the uncertainty and the guesswork out of getting your car fixed — whether you know engines or you have never opened the hood.
Verified local shops
Every autoshop on the platform is checked before it can respond to your request, so you are choosing from real local businesses.
Real quotes, not estimates
Shops respond with actual pricing and timing for your specific job, so you can compare like for like before you commit to anything.
OBD2-accurate requests
Enter the code from your check engine light and shops can quote against the real fault instead of guessing over the phone.
Shops close to home
See the autoshops nearest you on a map, so you are never driving across town for a repair you could get around the corner.

Getting quotes costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If none of them work for you, walk away and no one chases you.

Common questions
Everything you were about to ask
How much does it cost to use AutoShops.com?
It is free for car owners. You describe what your car needs, we broadcast your service request to local autoshops, and you compare the quotes that come back. You only pay the shop you choose, for the work you approve.
How do I find autoshops near me?
Use Shops Near Me to see local autoshops around you, with their location and details in one view. You can browse shops first, or send a service request and let nearby shops come to you.
Do I need to know what is wrong with my car?
Not at all. Describe the symptom the way you would to a friend — a squeal when braking, a light on the dash, a smell after driving. If you happen to have an OBD2 code, you can add it for a more precise quote, but it is never required.
What is an OBD2 code and where do I find it?
An OBD2 code is a standardized code your car's computer stores when it detects a problem, on any vehicle made in 1996 or later. A scanner plugs into a port under the dashboard to read it, and many auto parts stores will do it for free. Learn more on our diagnostic codes page.
How do autoshops join AutoShops.com?
Shops create a free account and start receiving local service requests that match the work they do. Each shop chooses which requests to respond to and sends a quote with pricing and timing — no commitment to jobs that do not fit.
