This real auto quote totaled $1,300 and scored 35 out of 100 on QuoteScore, which reads as overpriced: 1 of its 7 priced line items came in above the normal market range. The largest line was Transmission fluid exchange at $200, against a fair range of $90 to $360. For comparison, across the 806 auto quotes QuoteScore has scored, the average is 48.5 out of 100 and 56% scored under 50. A score is a pricing benchmark, not proof of overcharging.

A QuoteScore of 70 or higher means the quote sits inside the normal market range for the work and region. Under 50 means at least one line was priced above that range. Higher quotes can be legitimate: better parts, a longer warranty, a harder job. The useful move is to ask about the specific lines marked High or Red flag, not to argue the total.
Auto is one of the 31 categories in the public QuoteScore dataset, currently 806 quotes with an average score of 48.5.
