Why quotes differ from mechanic to mechanic

Every mechanic charges their own rate, and mechanics are paid a travel fee, so distance changes the price too. Parts availability matters as well. Because mechanics compete for your job, you see fair prices instead of one take-it-or-leave-it number.

No shop, no rent, lower prices

We're an online mechanic shop with no storefront, front desk or rent to cover. Those savings go to you, and the mechanic comes to your car instead of you losing a day at a shop.

Know your mechanic before they arrive

Our independent mechanics are ASE-certified and background-checked, and the work is insured by TravelMechanic. You can see who your mechanic is and read their reviews, and customer reviews decide who stays on the platform.

Not sure what's wrong? Book an inspection

A mechanic comes to you and finds the problem. If you fix it with us, what you paid for the inspection is credited toward the total. If you decide not to fix it with us, the fee goes to the mechanic's time and travel. If the mechanic can't diagnose exactly what's wrong, you get a full refund.

Frequently asked questions

Is the quote really free?

Yes. Asking for quotes is free with no obligation. You're only charged when the work is done, and if you're not satisfied you get your money back.

Do I have to book the lowest bid?

No. Accept a quote or walk away. You see each mechanic's price before you decide.

Can the price change after I accept?

Each quote is our best estimate. If more parts or time are needed, or a part is out of stock, the mechanic tells you the new price before you pay anything more. If you're not OK with it, you get 100% of your money back.

What information do I need?

Your vehicle's year, make and model, your ZIP code, and what's going on or the service you need. More detail helps mechanics bid accurately.

Which areas do you cover?

Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Washington DC and Virginia. Enter your ZIP code and we'll confirm a mechanic can reach you.

What can a mobile mechanic fix at my location?

Most everyday repairs: oil changes, brake pads and rotors, batteries, alternators and starters, diagnostics, tire repair, fluid services and pre-purchase inspections. If a job needs a lift or shop-only equipment, the mechanic tells you up front.
