Five quick questions

About two minutes. Skip anything you'd rather not answer. We read these first and tell you whether this is something MED can actually help with. If not, we say so, and it costs you nothing.

What are the year, make, model and mileage of the car?

What did the shop say is wrong?

3. Who found it

Did you notice a problem yourself, or did the shop find it while the car was in for something else?

4. How long you will keep it

Roughly how long do you plan to keep the car?

5. The estimate

Do you have the whole estimate, every page, in front of you?

If the shop's hourly rate is printed on it, that page matters most.

Email (so we can send back the second opinion).
