Measured tools (7)

• get_repair_cost_estimate read-only

  Estimate the cost of a car repair job (parts + labor, USD, US national averages 2026) by make and repair type. Returns low/high ranges for parts, labor, and total. Use list_makes_models and list_repair_types to discover valid slugs.

  Parameters:

  • make_slug (required) — string — Car make slug, e.g. "ford", "bmw", "tesla"
  • part_slug (required) — string — Repair type slug, e.g. "brake-pads", "head-gasket", "windshield"

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_repair_types read-only

  List the repair job types available for cost estimates (slugs, typical parts cost, labor hours). Pass a make_slug to get only the jobs applicable to that make (EVs skip ICE-only jobs).

  Parameters:

  • make_slug — string — Optional car make slug to filter jobs applicable to that make

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_makes_models read-only

  List all supported car makes and their models (slugs, EV flag, price multiplier). Use the make_slug values with get_repair_cost_estimate and list_repair_types.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_repair_cost_guide read-only

  Get the full editorial cost guide for a repair type: direct answer, price range, cost breakdown table, price factors, failure symptoms, and FAQs (US market, 2026). Use list_repair_guides to discover slugs.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Guide slug, e.g. "head-gasket", "transmission", "windshield"

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_repair_guides read-only

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• estimate_vehicle_value read-only

  Estimate the current US market value (USD) of a vehicle from year, make, model, and optional trim. Deterministic model: base price by make, trim multiplier, age-based depreciation. Useful to judge whether a repair is worth the cost.
