Relatim's consumer entry point is not a lead form. It is WhatsApp, because that is where a photo of a warning light already lives. Get Free Quote means: tell us the vehicle and the job, we check a verified mechanic, they confirm a cost with you before work starts. You are not paying Relatim for that sequence.
What to send so the quote is useful
- Vehicle — brand and what it is (car, bike, scooter). Model helps; approximate year helps more than people think.
- The job — “periodic service due at 40,000 km” or “grinding from the front left when I brake.”
- The area — a locality is better than just the city, because availability is local.
- A photo or a 10-second clip if the complaint is a light or a noise.
How to describe a problem is the longer version of that list. Wrong part names slow things down. Symptoms speed them up.
What a good reply contains
Who can take it, when, whether it is doorstep or workshop, and the number split into labour and parts — or a diagnosis fee if the cause is not known yet. If you get a single round figure with no breakdown, ask for the three lines. Quote before work is the standard we are aiming at, not a brochure phrase.
Why “free” is not a trick
Relatim does not take a finder's fee from you. You pay the mechanic for approved work. That is free to find a mechanic as a business choice, not a launch discount. Free also does not mean we invent coverage: if nobody suitable is available in your area right now, we say so rather than quoting a fantasy.
Where to start
Open the homepage and tell us the vehicle and the job, or start from a service page such as car service or bike repair, a city page, or a brand page such as Hyundai. Same conversation in each place. Related: Relatim is your vehicle advisor and transparent ownership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Relatim does not charge vehicle owners to check a mechanic or to get the cost confirmed. You pay the mechanic only for work you approved.
What should I include in the first message?
Make, model if you know it, fuel if it matters, what is due or what the vehicle is doing, and the area. Photos of the cluster or a short noise clip help more than technical guesses.
How fast will I get a number?
It depends on whether the job is a scheduled service (often quick) or a diagnosis (the first number may be the inspection, not the repair). We check who is actually available rather than inventing a price to win the chat.
