Founder story
The $2,512 estimate that led me to build X-Raye Auto.
Confidence before saying yes to an unexpected repair.
“I was sitting at a dealership when I was handed an unexpected $2,512 repair estimate for my 2022 Ford Expedition Limited. I’m not a mechanic, but I knew how to use AI for a second look.
It helped me negotiate the $275 diagnostic fee, get it credited toward the work, improve the warranty to 2 years and 24,000 miles, and pressure test the price against local options. One local shop may have been up to $400 cheaper, but it did not offer the same warranty coverage.
That second look gave me the confidence to negotiate and approve the work. It turned an unexpected expense into a sound investment and gave me peace of mind.”

Friends started asking me to do the same with their estimates. Then one said, “Too bad you don’t have one for homes.” That idea eventually became X-Raye Home.
After helping friends and drivers on Reddit review real estimates, it became clear this was a real need.

Real drivers. Real estimates. A second look makes a difference.
“A shop quoted me $1,980 for front brakes, rotors, and a brake fluid flush, but I still wasn’t sure what actually needed to be replaced. X-Raye helped me understand the repair, pressure test the price, and gave me better questions before I approved the work.”
“My estimate came in at $2,740 for front control arms, sway bar links, and an alignment, but the write-up was hard to follow. X-Raye broke it down in plain English, flagged missing detail, and helped me feel more confident about what I was paying for.”
“I was quoted $1,650 for a valve cover gasket oil leak repair and wasn’t sure if the labor looked fair. In under a minute, X-Raye gave me a clearer second look and helped me figure out what to ask before moving forward.”
“A check engine estimate for ignition coils and spark plugs came out to $1,220, but I had no idea whether the shop’s recommendation made sense. X-Raye gave me a clean summary of the issue, the price, and the questions I needed to take back to the shop.”
“An estimate for a battery, charging system test, and electrical diagnosis came in at $1,480 and I was worried I was missing something. X-Raye helped me understand the pricing, spot weak detail in the estimate, and feel more comfortable approving the repair.”
