With this game-changing online feature, Cars.com aims to remove the stress and fear of the unknown associated with maintaining, servicing and repairing a vehicle. Through innovative, confidence-building features that help save consumers time and demystify the entire service process, car owners can approach any service or repair situation with less apprehension.

"Most people can relate to the anxiety that occurs when the 'check engine' light comes on. Thoughts of expensive repairs and worst-case scenarios fill your mind," said Cars.com executive editor Joe Wiesenfelder. "That apprehension is warranted because drivers spend nearly $1,000 per year maintaining their car. With the launch of our revolutionary Service & Repair feature, we aim to help relieve some of the stress that affects drivers when they see that little red light illuminate."


With the new Service & Repair feature, Cars.com can also help car owners understand how much to pay by providing a fair price estimate for their service, including the breakdown between the cost of parts and labor. Consumers can find service centers in their area and read reviews written by other service customers to help them make the right decision.

"More than fifty percent of people do research online before they see a mechanic for repairs, and until now, no resource has provided consumers with the information they need to make an informed, confident decision about car service all in one place," added Barbara Terry, nationally-renowned automotive expert. "Cars.com is changing that with its new Service & Repair tool, and now I know the next time my car's little red light turns on, I'll take comfort knowing trustworthy, reliable service is only a few clicks away."
