DRIVERS / LOCAL AUTO REPAIR
Describe a symptom or add a photo. AutoRoca’s AI-assisted advisor helps you explain the issue, compare quotes from nearby repair shops and book a visit.
01 / COMPARE ESTIMATES
Two price estimates can cover different work. Before choosing the lower number, check whether each estimate covers inspection, parts and labor for the same issue.
FRONT BRAKE CONCERN
EXAMPLE / 01
Shop A
Brake inspection and pad replacement
Next step
Ask Shop B to confirm the inspection and parts included.
02 / SHOW THE SHOP WHAT CHANGED
A driver notices new vibration near the wheel. A photo and a short description give a repair shop context before the vehicle arrives.
WHEEL-AREA DAMAGE
EXAMPLE / 02
What to share
Add a photo and describe when the vibration appears.
Next step
The shop can review the concern before the visit.
03 / REVIEW THE WORK
The shop finds more work during inspection. Review the revised scope and total before deciding whether to approve the additional repair.
REVISED SHOP QUOTE
EXAMPLE / 03
What changed
Additional work proposed after inspection.
Next step
Confirm the updated total before authorizing work.
HOW AUTOROCA WORKS
Use vehicle details or the plate lookup shown in AutoRoca to identify the right car.
Say when the sound, warning or vibration appears and what the car is doing at the time.
Use the initial AI assessment as a starting point for a conversation with a repair shop.
THE EVERYDAY DRIVE
Compare the quoted work, price and appointment. If the shop finds something new, review the change before additional work goes ahead.
See the quote estimate demoDESCRIBING A SYMPTOM
These details help a mechanic understand your concern before seeing the car.
01 / WHEN
“On the first cold start of the morning” gives the shop a clearer starting point than “sometimes.”
02 / WHERE
Say whether you hear the sound near a wheel, under the hood or inside the cabin. It’s fine to say you’re unsure.
03 / WHAT
Describe the noise, vibration or warning in your own words. Include what you were doing when you first noticed it.
YOUR NOTES / WHAT I FIRST NOTICED
REVIEW QUOTE / REPAIR APPROVAL
Original estimate and appointment details are ready to review.
Review the additional work and updated price before it begins.
Discuss the revised estimate with the shop and decide how to proceed.
03 / CHOOSING A SHOP
Read the included work before comparing totals. Ask about anything that is unclear.
Check where you will drop off and collect the car before selecting a shop.
Check the proposed service time against your schedule before booking.
DRIVERS / BEFORE THE VISIT
What should you have ready?
Save your symptom notes, photos and estimate comparisons in one place. Share them with the shop so the conversation starts with what you already noticed.
