How to read this: under 20% repair-to-value is often a reasonable repair candidate when the diagnosis is confirmed and backlog is low. Between 20% and 40% needs a whole-car comparison. Above 40% is a strong reason to get a second opinion and real sale offers. These are screening bands, not a mechanic's diagnosis or financial advice.
