pugyrob · 12-05-2008, 12:41 PM

Hi,
me and a partner are just launching a new site that is designed to tell people how much they should pay for car repairs. it uses data taken from around the country for repair jobs and tells you what you should pay for each job in your area.

Please take a look and let me know what you think. the url is www.shouldpay.co.uk

If you like it, be gratefull if you would digg it here

Thanks for the feedback

Works well. I tried a few different examples of work I have had done on a few cars and the prices were pretty much spot on.

I think that the page needs a bit more information on the actual white part as I was sitting there for a bit expecting more to load and then having to work out what im actualy ment to be doing.

Just something simple like "To start finding the repair prices in your local area first select the car model from the drop down list below"

It would help if you could explain where the data is coming from i.e. why people should trust it. Also, too many pulldowns to see anything - I don't think new users will necessarily understand what they're supposed to do without very clear, step-by-step instructions.

Yes, could do with some text/explanation, also my model of vehicle isn't on the list X5 4.6is, nor is my last car a 7 series.

Thanksvery much for the feedback so far Edwin,Scott and Mat, will make the adjustments. Please keep them coming its all good to hear.

PS. Scott, cars like those arent supposed to go wrong so we didnt feel it necessary to add them

Seriously though, it needs updating a bit car wise so will get on that also.

More opinions appreciated

Cheers

Rob

when it shows the price say for a merc c180 brake pads in devon you should try and find a local garage in devon to sponsor the result and give you a cut of the takings or at least google ads most main dealers are online now,as said above there is a lot of white space when looking for cars,you have the space not to use dropdown lists

how you making it pay rob?

my 6 series bmw isnt on the list either

aquanuke · 13-05-2008, 10:20 PM

None of my cars where listed, interesting idea although the prices seemed very cheap.. maybe I used to stealership prices

You should try to add some garage affiliate links (if such a thing exists) at the end, relevant to the location, if I like the price of something I get a quote on it puts me into buy mode.....
