7 tools

• get_repair_cost_estimate

  Estimate the cost of a car repair job (parts + labor, USD, US national averages 2026) by make and repair type. Returns low/high ranges for parts, labor, and total. Use list_makes_models and list_repair_types to discover valid slugs.

• list_repair_types

  List the repair job types available for cost estimates (slugs, typical parts cost, labor hours). Pass a make_slug to get only the jobs applicable to that make (EVs skip ICE-only jobs).

• list_makes_models

  List all supported car makes and their models (slugs, EV flag, price multiplier). Use the make_slug values with get_repair_cost_estimate and list_repair_types.

• get_repair_cost_guide

  Get the full editorial cost guide for a repair type: direct answer, price range, cost breakdown table, price factors, failure symptoms, and FAQs (US market, 2026). Use list_repair_guides to discover slugs.

• list_repair_guides

  List all editorial repair cost guides (slug, title, category, price range). Optionally filter by category: body, mechanical, glass-wheels, or electrical.

• decode_vin

  Decode a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into year, make, model, trim, body style, and manufacturer. Use before estimate_vehicle_value to get exact vehicle details.

• estimate_vehicle_value

  Estimate the current US market value (USD) of a vehicle from year, make, model, and optional trim. Deterministic model: base price by make, trim multiplier, age-based depreciation. Useful to judge whether a repair is worth the cost.
