What this tool helps you decide
Enter what the repair would cost versus a replacement, plus the age and repair history, and get a clear lean — repair, borderline, or replace — with the reasoning and questions to ask a pro.
Output
Fill in the form and select Calculate to create your output.
Partial input is fine — you can refine and regenerate.
How to use this result
- Treat the output as a starting point, not a final answer — it only reflects what you entered.
- Bring it to your next conversation with a pro so you are both working from the same facts.
- If your situation changes, update the inputs and regenerate — it takes seconds.
How this works
Outputs are generated instantly in your browser from the inputs you provide — no account needed.
This is planning guidance only — not financial, legal, warranty, or professional repair advice. A qualified technician should confirm the diagnosis and the real cost to repair.
