Never overpay for car repairs again

Everyday Auto Solutions provides independent, virtual consulting backed by an ASE-certified technician. We protect car owners from unfair repair bills and provide DIY mechanics with professional diagnostic blueprints.

Our Consulting Solutions

We bridge the gap between complex automotive technology and everyday drivers by putting master-level industry insight directly in your corner through two specialized branches:

  • Auto Advocate: Serves as your personal shield against predatory repair practices. We audit shop estimates against official factory labor matrices, verify wholesale parts pricing, and manage service communication so you never overpay or authorize unnecessary work.

  • Pocket Tech: Empowers hands-on DIYers to fix issues right the first time. We replace hours of generic forum searches and YouTube guesswork with vehicle-specific virtual diagnostics, factory wiring schematics, and step-by-step technical blueprints calibrated to your exact make and model.

Estimate reviews

Auto Advocate: Repair Estimate Review

Before authorizing an expensive repair bill, we audit every quoted part, labor hour, and shop supply fee against factory repair matrices and wholesale component pricing. The unfortunate reality of the trade is that even good mechanics can be tempted to pad book times or stack overlapping labor when they know a customer won't notice. Forcing a service advisor to justify their recommendations to an ASE Master Certified technician instantly removes fabricated charges and keeps everyone accountable. Catching a single inflated markup or redundant upsell easily pays for the service and keeps hundreds of dollars in your pocket.

Virtual diagnostics

Pocket Tech: Virtual Diagnostic Consultation 

This remote consultation helps DIYers and vehicle owners decode warning lights, erratic drivability symptoms, and trouble codes without expensive trial-and-error. Instead of replacing random sensors based on internet forum guesses, we walk you through targeted testing to isolate the actual failed component. If you decide to let a shop handle the physical labor, knowing the root failure beforehand stops technicians from billing you for open-ended diagnostic fishing trips. It keeps repair shops transparent from the start and ensures you only pay for the exact fix your car truly needs.

Repair Blueprints

Pocket Tech Pro

 When tackling a major driveway repair like a timing belt, suspension rebuild, or complex electrical harness, Pocket Tech Pro provides a custom vehicle-specific blueprint. You receive step-by-step OEM disassembly instructions, factory torque specifications, wiring schematics, and a precise tool list tailored to your exact VIN. Using professional technical data prevents costly mistakes, stripped fasteners, and misaligned components that often lead to tow trucks and shop visits. It gives you the knowledge and confidence to execute professional-grade repairs on your own terms.

Concierge Shop Vetting

Auto Advocate: Concierge

Routine maintenance shouldn't turn into an aggressive sales pitch for premature fluid flushes and unneeded filter replacements. With our Concierge tier, we independently vet local facilities, confirm fair baseline pricing, and book your service so you bypass the stress entirely. Even well-meaning mechanics can be tempted to bump ticket totals when they realize a customer doesn't know the maintenance schedule, but our involvement establishes strict parameters upfront. You simply drop off your keys knowing an ASE Master Tech pre-screened the shop, keeping the honest honest and saving you money.

Common questions about our consulting

Learn how our remote automotive advocacy and DIY consulting services work to safeguard your wallet and vehicle.

How can you accurately advise me without physically seeing my car?

Modern automotive diagnostics and billing follow strict factory data, OEM technical service bulletins (TSBs), and standardized labor matrices (like AllData and Mitchell). By analyzing your vehicle's exact diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), symptoms, and itemized repair quotes, an ASE-certified technician can spot improper diagnostic logic, duplicate labor, and unreasonable parts markups just as easily from a digital file as from a service counter.

How does the Concierge service work if you aren't local to my town?

We analyze certified independent facilities and dealerships in your specific zip code using industry credentialing databases (ASE, AAA Approved Auto Repair), verified review aggregators, and labor rate benchmarks. Once vetted, we communicate the exact requested services to the shop and schedule the drop-off time on your behalf.

What if the repair shop refuses to lower their quote after your Estimate Review?

 

  • While we cannot legally force an independent shop to change their prices, our review arms you with exact factory labor hours, fair wholesale parts pricing, and mechanical leverage. If a facility refuses to remove duplicate labor or justify an unnecessary repair, you have the facts needed to decline the work and take your vehicle to an honest shop before getting overcharged.

Why should I pay for Pocket Tech when YouTube and online forums are free?

Free online videos often feature a slightly different trim package, an older model year, or incorrect torque specs, and bad forum advice frequently leads to throwing expensive "guesswork parts" at a problem. Pocket Tech provides OEM-level repair data and diagnostic steps specifically calibrated to your exact VIN, engine code, and symptoms.

What tools do I need for a Virtual Diagnostic Consultation?

A standard smartphone to take clear photos or video of the engine bay, and ideally a basic OBD-II code reader (or the trouble codes printed out for free from any local auto parts retailer). We tell you exactly what tests to run from there.

How fast will I receive my Estimate Review or Pocket Tech Blueprint?

Standard turnaround is within 24 to 48 business hours after you submit your intake form and upload legible documentation. If an urgent shop decision is required, priority rush options are available.
