RepairPal Auto Repair Expert is a free iPhone app that will give you an accurate estimate of how much a car repair job should cost, for comparison with what you're actually quoted at the dealership or at an independent shop. With internet access, it will even give you a list of nearby repair shops complete with address, contact details and service ratings. Designed as an iPhone equivalent of the free online service at RepairPal.com, accuracy is reportedly quite good, although users should note that it is US-oriented, so repair shop listings are US only, figures are in US dollars, and costs may be different in Canada, UK, and elsewhere. But still worth it as a ballpark figure.
