Compare quotes without ringing around for them
To compare quotes you first have to collect them, and that is the part nobody enjoys. Tyres, windscreens, skip bins, carpet cleaning, a load of firewood. The price is never on the website. It is always call for a quote.
So let us call. Give us the specs once: the tyre size, the bin size, the number of rooms. A real person rings several businesses, asks each the same thing, and texts you the prices side by side. You just pick.
The problem
Why shopping around by phone is a chore
The price is hidden behind a phone call
Plenty of businesses won’t put a number online. You have to ring, wait, explain what you need and hope the person who answers is the one who knows the prices, not the one who takes a message.
You repeat the specs every time
Tyre size, car model, how many, fitted or not. Then the same again to the next shop. By the fourth call you are reading numbers off the sidewall in your sleep and wondering why you started.
The answers don’t match up
One price includes fitting, one adds delivery, one is plus GST. Unless you ask every business the same questions, you end up weighing apples against a skip bin and guessing at the difference.
So you stop at two
Most people ring a couple of places, get tired of it and take the second price. Not because it was the best one on offer, but because the afternoon was disappearing and the job still had to get done.
The fix
What you get when we collect the prices
Specs given once
You tell us exactly what you need a single time. We read the same details to each business, so every price is for the same thing and nothing gets lost in the retelling.
More places than you would bother with
Ringing five or six is no trouble when it is our job. If one doesn’t answer, we try again later. A wider ring-around gives you a better picture of the going rate.
Side by side in one text
Each business, its price, what that includes and how soon they can do it. Laid out so the difference is obvious. We don’t pick a winner. That part is yours.
An example
What it looks like
You tell us
Four tyres for a 2018 Mazda CX-5, size 225/55R19. Mid-range brand is fine. I want the fitted price including balancing and old tyre disposal, and how soon they can do it. Around Osborne Park.
We text you back
Five rung, four answered. Northside Tyres $1,040 fitted, tomorrow. Tread Lightly $980 fitted, Thursday. Park Road Tyre and Brake $1,120 fitted with an alignment thrown in, today. Budget Wheels $890 for a cheaper brand, next week. All include balancing and disposal.
An example only, with made-up names, to show the kind of answer you get.
Three steps
How it works
- 1
Tell us who to call
The business or person, and what you want to ask, book or find out. Thirty seconds on the form below.
- 2
We ring them
A real person makes the call and says they are ringing on your behalf. No answer? We try again until there is one.
- 3
We text you the result
What they said, in plain words, sent to your mobile. The recording and a written transcript too, if you asked for them.
Good to know
This works for simple prices a business will give over the phone. It doesn’t work for insurance, loans, energy or phone plans, because those need your identity and personal details. Prices are what we were told on the day and can change. We don’t recommend anyone, place orders or pay. If a business needs to see the job first, we tell you.

We’ll make the call and text you what they said. Now go and do something better with your day.
Questions people ask
What sort of things can you price?
Anything where the answer is a phone call away and needs no identity check. Tyres, windscreens, skip bins, carpet cleaning, firewood, mulch, gutter cleaning. If you can describe it in a few lines, we can ask about it.
How many places will you ring?
Tell us how many prices you want and we keep ringing until we have them or run out of local options. You can name the businesses, or leave it to us to find ones in your area.
Will you tell me which one to choose?
No. We give you the prices, what each includes and how soon they can do it. Cheapest is not always the right answer, and you know what matters to you. The decision and the order are yours.
