About HowMuchToFix

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves transparent pricing before committing to a repair. HowMuchToFix empowers you with instant, data-driven repair cost estimates using our proprietary AI technology—helping you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected bills.

How It Works

1. Upload a Photo: Simply take or upload a clear photo of anything that needs fixing. Our system accepts images from any angle and lighting condition—whether it's your phone, car, TV, appliance, or any other item.

2. HowMuchToFix AI Analysis: Our advanced AI engine instantly identifies what you're fixing, analyzes damage type and severity, and cross-references with our comprehensive repair database of 30,000+ repair guides covering everything from smartphones to cars to home appliances.

3. Get Detailed Results: Within 10-15 seconds, receive a complete repair breakdown including cost ranges, difficulty level, required parts, time estimates, and personalized recommendations—plus the environmental impact of repairing vs. replacing.

Powered by HowMuchToFix AI

Our proprietary HowMuchToFix AI technology combines advanced computer vision with extensive repair knowledge databases. Trained on thousands of repairs across 13+ categories—from smartphones and laptops to cars, TVs, appliances, and medical devices—our AI delivers intelligent cost estimates you can trust.

Unlike simple lookup tools, HowMuchToFix AI understands context: the specific damage pattern, device age, repair complexity, and current market pricing. This nuanced analysis means you get estimates tailored to your exact situation, not generic averages.

Accuracy You Can Trust

Our estimates are designed to give you realistic cost expectations. While we strive for precision, actual repair costs can vary by ±15-25% depending on several factors:

  • Geographic location and local labor rates
  • Specific repair shop pricing policies
  • Parts availability and quality (OEM vs. aftermarket)
  • Additional hidden damage discovered during repair
  • Warranty coverage and device age

We continuously refine our AI models with new data to improve accuracy. Our goal is to give you a reliable ballpark figure so you can budget appropriately and avoid being caught off guard.
