Repair quotes can balloon with unnecessary work or double-counted fees. Use this guide and free template to push back with a clear written dispute.
When to use this
- The shop’s quote includes parts you didn’t authorize or don’t need.
- Labor hours or diagnostic fees seem inflated compared to other estimates.
- You want a written record before escalating to the manager, insurer, or a complaint body.
How to do it (fast)
- Request the line-item estimate from the shop if you don’t already have it.
- Highlight the parts, labor, or fees you disagree with and note why.
- State the correction you want—a revised estimate, warranty review, or refund of deposits.
- Paste the details into the CourtPDF dispute letter tool and download the PDF.
- Send it by email or certified mail and keep a copy for your records.
Why this helps
- Creates a paper trail before you escalate to a regulator or insurer.
- Shows the exact charges you dispute and what resolution you expect.
- Keeps all names, dates, and dollar amounts in one clean document.
