Auto repair tips available at online car portal

For used car buyers concerned about common problems with their potential purchase, a new online partnership may help them figure out what’s wrong with their vehicle.

RepairPal is a website that allows car owners to gauge what certain repairs should cost based on the problem and the make and model of the car they own, and it and other resources are now available at Cars.com thanks to an agreement between the two sites.

Other resources available to car owners include being able to ask certified mechanics for advice about conditions, updated recall information, and common problems organized by model for used car buyers.

“Through our new relationship with RepairPal, we are able to offer consumers innovative auto repair content, making Cars.com a comprehensive destination for all of their automotive needs,” said Cars.com CEO Mitch Golub.

For those who are truly on the go, the new partnership will enable those with certain cellular phones to access estimates of repair prices no matter the location, and a database of user reviews may enable used car owners to pick the best local service shop for their next repair.
