Never mess with the hassle of car repairs again. With ServiceUp, you get a professional advisor to manage the entire repair process so you don’t have to. We find you the best price, schedule your appointment, handle all the payments, and even pick up and deliver your car wherever you want. All for the same price as you will find locally and definitely cheaper than going to the dealership. With one tap you are in touch with one of our Service Advisors (a real person!) who will move into the driver seat for your car repair. Our SA will put out the APB to our local network of trusted partners shops, find you the best/fastest deal, and organize everything including payment and delivery of your repaired vehicle – all through the easy-to-use app. You are notified of the progress via the app, and your repaired vehicle is dropped off by one of our clean, professional drivers. You now have 6-8 hours back of your life to focus on what matters in life. ServiceUp is better than calling a mobile mechanic because: - We can service all cars. Mobile mechanics need a dedicated driveway and can’t do tows - Instead of bringing the auto shop to your front yard, our repairs are discrete - We can offer same-day servicing at very competitive rates - Our partner shops are vetted thoroughly and must pass an annual inspection. They offer our customers professional servicing for almost any kind of auto work including: - Collision and bodywork - Transmissions - Cooling and heating systems - Electrical systems - Windshield repair and replacement - Oil changes and fluids - Mufflers and catalytic converters - Pre-purchase inspections ServiceUp: the one app to manage everything about your car post-purchase. Download ServiceUp and never mess with the hassle and frustration of auto repairs again.
