DriveSmart is a leading extended vehicle protection provider throughout the United States & Canada, and they started with two goals in mind: to always stay true to their values & to save customers money on unexpected auto repairs.

DriveSmart has partnered with RepairPal to ensure that their customers have access to nearly 2,000 Certified shops nationwide, who share their values and are committed to high quality and fair priced work.

RepairPal Certified Shops are third-party service providers, and they are not owned or controlled by DriveSmart.

When you go to repairpal.com/drivesmartwarranty and enter your zip code and vehicle make, you’ll be taken to a directory of RepairPal Certified shops in your area. Here, you can see addresses, phone numbers, star ratings, and the current open/ closed status for the shops listed.

From here, you can click on a shop and be taken to their complete profile page, which includes their hours of operation, information on their service warranty, when their next available appointment is (along with the ability to schedule an appointment), and a complete list of verified customer reviews.

To become RepairPal Certified, shops must meet specific quality standards. One of those standards is in relation to customer satisfaction, and RepairPal measures that by independently surveying their customers. Not only must a shop meet that standard, but they must maintain it to keep their RepairPal Certified status.

RepairPal has invested considerable resources and effort to build a Fair Price Estimator, with the goal being to provide fair price ranges on hundreds of mechanical repairs for most vehicle models dating back to 1990. RepairPal Certified shops agree to honor the price ranges quoted in their Fair Price Estimator, so customers can have confidence that they are paying a reasonable price for quality work.

The Fair Price Estimator draws from several industry standard labor guides and OEM part pricing feeds, as well as local shop labor rates for a given area.

All repair estimates derived from RepairPal’s Fair Price Estimator are guaranteed by RepairPal for up to 30 days from the date generated.

RepairPal Certified shops begin by completing a thorough diagnosis of your vehicle, which typically involves a combination of visual inspection and the use of scan tools that can detect problem codes.

It’s important to give the shop as much information as possible when bringing the vehicle in, including, but not limited to: * Any unusual sounds * Any change in vehicle performance or handling * Whether the issue is persistent or intermittent * Any dashboard indicators that have been present * When the problem occurs (cold engine, above a certain MPH, etc)
