Does it tell me the exact price I should pay?
No. It judges with ranges, because the price changes with the area, the garage and the parts (original or equivalent). It helps you spot unusual items and ask the right questions.
Check your garage's quote before accepting it
Upload a photo of the quote: DATAIAO reviews the parts, the labour hours and what is missing or extra, and tells you what to ask the garage.
What it checks and what it is for
A garage quote mixes parts, labour hours and items such as fluids, small materials or waste disposal. Reading it calmly before saying yes is the best way to avoid surprises: knowing what will be replaced and why, whether something that usually goes with it is missing —for example, the water pump with the timing belt— or whether something nobody asked for has been added.
The review takes your car into account if you pick it from your Garage, with its model and engine. It only reads what is in the photo: it does not invent lines or amounts, and if something is illegible it says so. Prices change with the area, the garage and the type of part, so it judges with ranges rather than an exact figure.
The result is kept in your history and you can share it with a read-only link, or log the job in the car's history when it is done.
It is guidance, not an expert appraisal: it does not replace a professional who has seen the car. If the repair affects safety —brakes, steering or tyres—, do not delay it to compare prices.
Frequently asked questions
What if the photo is hard to read?
It says so: it only judges what is actually in the image. Retake the photo in good light with the paper flat.
What do I do if I disagree with the quote?
Ask the garage about the items you do not understand and get a second opinion if you need one. To make a complaint, your local consumer office can tell you your rights: DATAIAO does not give legal advice.
Can I use it for free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 tool uses a month, no card needed, so you can try them. Paid plans raise the limits.
Is the result saved?
Yes. Every result is kept in your history and you can share it with a read-only link, for example to show it to your garage.
