Enter the quote you were given and its age. We compare cost per remaining year against a new machine and give you a straight verdict.
Run the numbersTell us what it's doing. Get the likely causes ranked, plus the free things to check before you pay anyone a dime.
Diagnose itAdd your appliances once and see which are healthy, which are mid-life, and which are running on borrowed time.
Build your listBallpark what a repair should run — service call, parts and labor broken out — before you pick up the phone.
Get a ballparkA big share of the calls we take end with a five-minute conversation and no visit. A blocked dryer vent. A dishwasher filter nobody knew came out. An ice maker arm that got bumped up by a bag of frozen peas. Charging $99 to deliver that news never sat right.
So these tools give away the part of the job that's just knowledge. The calculator uses the same math we use on a customer's kitchen floor: not the crude "50% rule," but cost per remaining year — what you actually pay per year of service, repaired versus replaced. The triage tool gives you the free checks first and tells you honestly which failures need a licensed tech.
If that costs us a few service calls, fine. The ones we do get are the ones we should have.
Every calculation runs in your browser. No account, no email wall, no lead form disguised as a tool.
Lifespan figures come from published NAHB and industry life-expectancy data. Cost ranges are national repair-cost guides adjusted for the metro Detroit market.
These tools are planning aids, not quotes. Every appliance has its own history, and the only way to know what's actually wrong is to open it up.
