Free for iPhone, repairpal.com

With fewer folks buying new cars, the old ones will eventually need to be repaired. Avoid getting ripped off by your mechanic with the RepairPal iPhone application, which is designed to give you an accurate price quote of the repair you need. This heavenly app gave us an accurate pricing estimate for the replacement of a brake master cylinder, including the price for parts and labor, individually. In addition to giving the locations of the closest mechanics, RepairPal also gave “what to watch for” tips on how pricing could be skewed or things mechanics may try to charge extra for. Extra recommendations for other brake issues were offered for the specific repair, as well as maintenance tips and causes behind the need for replacement.  Lightning-quick diagnostics make this app the no-cost way to take charge of your car care, even if you know nothing about cars.

The title of this article should have been "Recoup the Money You Dumped Into the iPhone." I know time and space for articles are limited, but only putting two apps related to Android and all the rest to iPhone was a bit disappointing. The funny thing is that many similar apps have been available for Windows Mobile Phones longer than the iPhone has been on the market. The only problem is that there is no one place to go find them. Tech people, like the ones that troll this sight, are smart enough to know how to find them. One big difference between iPhone and Windows Mobile Phones is that I can install any app I want and as many as my memory can hold.
