FSCK at bootup on unclean part

Hi all
I have poor power at home and sometimes have to manually repair the hard disk.
Is there a way of telling the machine IF it has to do a repair to just do what it needs too and get on with it and continue to boot. As its headless i have to dig out a monitor and keyboard.

Once i get to the prompt and manually run fsck it asks loads of questions that i always answer yes too

I presume its an option somewhere?
