In every issue of The Fair Deal Weekly

Ask Camille

Got a repair quote you’re not sure about? Send it in. Each issue, Camille picks one reader quote and we walk through it in plain English: what looks fair, what deserves a question, and what to ask.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the quote. Vehicle, the repair, and the price.
  2. Camille picks one each issue. We review it in the newsletter.
  3. Your privacy stays intact. No names, no shop names, nothing that identifies you.
Prefer email? Subscribers can simply reply to any issue of The Fair Deal Weekly with their quote.

Send Camille your quote

We use your email only to follow up on this quote. Submitting doesn’t subscribe you to the newsletter. See our privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Will you publish my name or the shop’s name?

No. If we feature your quote, we leave out your name, the shop’s name and anything that identifies you. We only feature quotes when you tick the box saying it’s OK.

Will I definitely get a reply?

We read every submission, and we pick one quote to walk through in each issue of The Fair Deal Weekly. We can’t promise a personal reply to everyone.

Is this professional advice?

No. It’s general information from someone with automotive sales and service-writer experience, not an inspection. Only a qualified technician who has seen your car can confirm a diagnosis.
