auto-repair-estimate-decoder

Featured

Decode an auto repair estimate — what each line actually is, which items are urgent vs upsell, and the questions that separate a fair shop from a fishing expedition. Use when someone asks 'is this repair quote fair', 'decode my mechanic's estimate', 'do I really need all this', or 'is the shop ripping me off'. Produces a line-by-line decode with urgency triage, parts/labor sanity checks, ranked red flags, and the exact questions to ask the shop before authorizing.

# Auto Repair Estimate Decoder Skill Repair estimates mix three different things on one page: what your car needs now, what it will need eventually, and what the shop would like to sell you this week. This skill separates them — decoding each line into plain language, triaging by "what happens if I don't," and flagging the patterns (fluid-flush bundles, replace-instead-of-repair, labor-hour padding) that distinguish an estimate from an invoice-in-waiting. It works from the estimate text; it never diagnoses the car. ## What This Skill Produces - A line-by-line decode: what each item is, what it does, what happens if deferred - Urgency triage: safety-now / soon-with-timeframe / eventually / optional-upsell - Sanity checks: labor hours vs. the job's typical shape, parts pricing patterns, diagnostic-fee handling - Ranked red flags and the authorize/decline/second-opinion recommendation per line, plus the questions to ask ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **The estimate text** — every line with prices; photos of the writeup work. Partial estimates get decoded with the missing pieces named. - **The car and the symptom** — year/make/model/mileage, and what brought it in (the estimate should connect to the symptom; lines that don't are the interesting ones). - **Context** — how long they plan to keep the car, and whether this shop has history with them. ## Framework: Severity Scale - 🔴 **Challenge before authorizing** — repairs unrelate...
