Re-Paired Stars
Reviews will come only from paid jobs.
Re-Paired Stars is designed to take reviews only from paid, completed jobs: one review per job, moderated before it counts. Reviews are not open yet.
Invoice-Gated Reviews
Designed, not open yet. When reviews open, a review will require a paid, completed job on file: one review per job, moderated before it counts.

Shop Review
A shop applies before it can receive requests, and Re-Paired reviews the application before approving it. License and insurance details are reported by the shop; document checks are designed, not yet built.

Signals 1–3
Verification, quote completeness, responsiveness
Signals 4–5
Outcome satisfaction, dispute rate

Warranty claims, repeat issues

Launch Region
Starting in the Bay Area.
The San Francisco Bay Area is where Re-Paired begins. Not because it's trendy — because it's the right market to prove that clear pricing and verified repair shops actually work.
Dense independent shop base
High concentration of independent repair shops with strong operational diversity — the ideal proving ground.
High repair costs
Above-average repair pricing amplifies the value of structured comparison. Transparency matters more when stakes are higher.
Strong digital adoption
Tech-forward consumer base already trained on comparison platforms. Lower friction for behavior change.
Pilot-ready density
Geographically dense metro area allows tight feedback loops, fast iteration, and high data density per repair category.
