Here's an interesting article that will help you learn how to find mechanics who will come to you, saving you time and inconvenience with your car repairs.
(NewsUSA) - When it comes to managing vehicle repairs, the associated hassles and inconveniences that come about -- whether from having no vehicle or the process of finding a reputable repair shop -- can become a major annoyance.
However, according to a new start-up business from San Francisco called YourMechanic, a new system is "changing the nature of auto repair." YourMechanic is a car repair marketplace that connects people to certified, trustworthy, local mechanics. The best part: there's no need to spend your entire lunch break finding an opening at the repair shop, since the mechanics will come to you.
This new way of fixing your car is getting great reviews and earning awards. YourMechanic recently won TechCrunch Disrupt, the annual start-up competition pitting the best new ideas in Silicon Valley.
TechCrunch, a leader in reviewing the latest tech developments and profiling worthy start-ups, compared YourMechanic to Uber -- the company that effectively helped turn every cab driver into a potential entrepreneur. Using Uber, commuters can call a taxi with a smartphone app instead of waiting to hail the next one. As TechCrunch pointed out, YourMechanic has key similarities: mechanics will come to you, and the process is simple.
Anyone can go online to YourMechanic.com, explain their problem, provide details about their vehicle and get instant quotes. All mechanics are required to honor the quotes provided, so you just pick your mechanic and go.
Once you select your preferred mechanic -- based on work history, certifications, ratings and customer reviews -- they will arrive at your specified location fully prepared to fix your car. Whether day or night, weekday or weekend, mechanics will make repairs as long as they have a parking lot or driveway to work in.
Ultimately, the business model is designed to lower costs for consumers and mechanics. The mechanics doing the work pocket money that would have gone to the presiding repair shop. As a result, their rates are a little more reasonable. Learn more about the newest way to find a mechanic at www.YourMechanic.com.
