A mechanic's incorrect timing belt installation caused $6,000 in damage, highlighting the need for an independent third-party quote checker.
NoDog offers a $10, one-time report that checks every line item of a quote against real prices and evidence, providing specific questions to ask before approving.
The service covers various trades (cars, furnaces, teeth, pets, pipes) and works in the US, UK, and Europe, with quotes kept private and deleted after 90 days.
Users can upload a photo, PDF, or paste text of the quote, describe what happened, and receive a per-line verdict with useful questions for the provider.
A sample report for a 2019 Toyota Corolla shows how NoDog evaluates each line, flagging high prices and asking for proof of measurements.
