Everybody Needs a Repair Pal

This is a VERY VERY cool website! It’s “Repair Pal.” It’s a type of yellow pages for vehicle repairs for your area. My husband uses our vehicle for work, so the van is in the shop quite a bit. Plus, I use the vehicle for our travels… and needless to say, the van gets a lot of use. When it comes time for fixing, what happens is I am always thumbing through the yellow pages, looking for this or that repair shop, trying to find hours, make appointments, etc etc. It’s pretty laborious and takes me a long time. Having a veritable “yellow” pages online is terrific! You can search by repair shop, city and state, zip code, everything! And if you are traveling in a city and need a repair shop, you can go to Repair Pal and find a shop easily, anywhere.

So let’s say you own a Honda Accord (blessed are you!). And let’s say you live in San Francisco, CA. You can type in your city and state or zip, and choose your car’s make. Voila! You get a list of San Francisco auto repair shops, maps of all the shops, reviews where given, and more information. I checked out a few zip codes and cities– Repair Pal even had repair shop listings for Juneau, Alaska, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Bouckville, New York! Very impressive.

Moreover, Repair Pal has an Auto Repair Encyclopedia. So now you can do a little research about your vehicle before you take it to the shop, or, if you are curious and like to learn how the timing belt works and etc, peruse at your own pleasure. Repair Pal also has a “RepairPrice Estimator” where you can get a general idea of the cost of a repair for your car’s make/model.

It’s a good site– I give it a thumbs up and I will be using this site for our future repair shop research.
