As we head into a big holiday weekend many families are traveling. Traveling with kids is stressful enough. Add to that car trouble and it can become a nightmare.

I remember when I was little we did a lot of traveling in an older van. One year it broke down on a highway in the middle of nowhere. There were no cell phones or GPS back then so we had to just sit on the side of the road while my dad tried to contact someone on his CB radio.

After awhile a tow truck came and brought us to the nearest garage. It was a broke down old garage but we were stuck. We sat and waited as the man drove to the nearest town to get parts. Finally hours later we were back on the road with no idea if we got ripped off or not.

Times have changed and now we have cell phones with internet and GPS systems to help out but we still do not know if a mechanic is ripping us off.

That is until now... RepairPal is an incredible website that allows you to find out what you should be paying for vehicle repairs. Are you traveling and need to find a Dallas auto repair place? RepairPal will show what places are near you and what prices should be in that area. Do you want to look up what a repair on a Chevrolet Silverado should cost? You could even look up what parts are really needed for your brake job.

You no longer have to wonder if they charged you for parts that are not needed or if they over charged you.
