Sub par mechanics

Spent almost $700 for major repairs & a year later the same issue w the same parts he repaired / replaced . Complete waste of money

CONSUMER BEWARE- SOPHISTICATED SCAM

TOTAL SCAM!!!! I filed a dispute with my credit card company and reported to the State Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission, and BBB. If you’ve also been scammed by them, you should do the same.

They rescheduled me several times- never once showed! Placed $150 hold on my credit card upon initial booking. Eventually charged me the full amount for repairs- $213.97. I called customer service, and they refused to issue a refund. They claimed we were waiting on a back ordered part. When I asked which part, they told me it was a radiator cap which is in no way related to the repairs I requested for my valve cover gasket. Now, no one will return my calls or answer the phone.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS, OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!

No Call No Show

I have tried this app twice, and the first time the tech cancelled, and the second time they no-call-no-showed. I will not be wasting my time again.

They just took my money and never came out to see my car

So I needed my brakes caliper replaced so I booked an appointment on 11/7 through their website.
The appointment was for 11/8 between 11:12AM and 1:12PM. My mechanic Rusty had messaged me to see what was wrong with my truck exactly, and I had told him that my friend had replaced my brakes and that friend noticed the caliper was cracked. after I told him this, he seemed to have no more questions. The next day I’m waiting and waiting for the mechanic to show up, however, no one even bothered to show. I don’t get any type of response until 5:20 PM. At that time I had gotten what seemed like an automated message that my appointment had been canceled. Although I wasn’t the one to cancel, they still had the gall to charge me the $150 cancellation fee.
The next few days was me trying to get that refunded, but no one was helpful at all. One guy said something about the terms and conditions and that there’s nothing they could do about it. Another said I would get a call within 48 hours to sort it out, yet I am still waiting for that call. Leaving this review is my last resort so I may file a small claims with my bank and contact the Better Business Bureau. Please do not use this Mechanic service. They are crooks.

Hit or miss

I used this service twice. On the 1st use, everything went fine without any issue. The 2nd time around the mechanic was a no show and I adjusted my work schedule for the scheduled service period. The app has no way for you to contact anyone when that happens. I had to send an email from the confirmation alert. I will go to yelp from now on and avoid the $150 diagnostics fee. I don’t mind paying for the convenience, but the app would be better if you can leave reviews for your mechanic - right now it is the wild Wild West.

Horrible update

This new update is the worst thing to ever happen to the app

Not reliable, fake customer service

I chose this company because they are able to service your cars on the weekends when a lot of car service shops are closed on the weekends.

The first time the mechanic came, he diagnosed the car and said we would be receiving an estimate via email in the next few days. The next few days never came and I had to call in 2 weeks later and miraculously received the estimate on the call.

I then scheduled to have a mechanic come out to get the car fixed after approving the estimate. On the day of the service, the mechanic called me to say a personal emergency came up (understandable) and that we would need to be rescheduled. So we rescheduled. The day of the new appointment, the mechanic called me to say his tires blew out and that he would have to see me later in the day - not the scheduled window. Again, understandable but I had to work around the window that I didn’t plan for. The mechanic finally came and did the service. All was well until a few days later the ‘check engine’ light came back on.

I called into the company and told them the story and that we need to have someone come out again to see why the light came back on. It was then I got treated differently by customer service. Being passively aggressively asked to “explain what warranty means” and was told that if it was something else, I would need to pay the diagnostic fee. After acknowledging the terms and agreement which felt like I was signing over my first born kid, I was scheduled to have a mechanic come.

The day of the service, I didn’t receive a call or text letting me know the mechanic was on the way. I called in to tell customer service this. They said they would call me back once they get in touch with a mechanic. An hour went by and no updates. So I called back in and lo and behold a rep said they couldn’t get in touch with a mechanic and that we would need to reschedule - LOL. When I told them I’ve invested around HUNDREDS (diagnostic fee, the car part, labor fee, etc) but my car is nowhere fixed and that I would like a refund, the rep became short with me and said a manager would get back to me “within 24-48” hrs and the rest of the phone call was him giving me fake sympathy template responses.

At this point, it has been a month and I am resorting having to take a day off work and bring my car into a more reliable local shop due to this company’s unreliability.

It’s a great business model for people who only have time off during the weekends to get their car serviced but the customer service and unreliable mechanics will be the downfall of this company.

No Show

Mechanic never showed. Zero communication from anyone. Better off just googling a mobile mechanic nearby.

Paid $700 for services but received none.

If you use AfterPay be careful. Yourmechanic is having issues with orders disappearing after you pay with AfterPay. I am on day 5 of waiting for a resolution… I’ve sent receipts, waited for callbacks, still nothing.. and it’s not like car problems just go away on their own. Do Not Use!!!! They will drag you along for weeks!!

Update- gave 3 stars ( up from 1 star ) as they contacted me a few hours after I posted this to resolve the matter.

Sign up doesn’t work

Tried to sign up multiple times and each time I get “unknown error 500” and was unable to complete the signup

App won’t let me log in

Doesn’t work

DO NOT USE

They are full of ****

Warranty is a joke

I asked them to repair a door handle that didn’t even last a week before it was broke again. Was told “since it was damaged before we got there it’s not covered”. Why would I call yall to fix something that ain’t broke????? Like what.

Just avoid

Gotten very expensive as they say themselves their price comparison is with the dealership which is beyond any reasonable sense.

Dissatisfied

The mechanic that I had should have known that my transmission was under warranty and I shouldn’t have been charged so now I’m out of $169.99 plus $$ for fluid and still a leaky transmission

It’s a scam company.

Don’t think even to try. They get my money and they never show up.

Why?

Why do you force me to give you my telephone number in order to request a bid? I don’t want telemarketers. I don’t want you to sell my telephone number. And as a result, I’m not going to use your app. Just thought you’d like to know.

Wonderful service!

Out of town, alone, husband traveling in a few days. Truck won’t start, what do I do? Found number online scheduled an appt- called to say her could come earlier and would I like him to come! Diagnosed truck needing a fuel pump and got it started for me! Thank you Godwin! You are a Godsend!
