YourMechanic is an on-demand auto service that believes: "Life is too short to spend it at the repair shop." Rather than having to travel the distance to the mechanic each time a vehicle is in need or a big repair or a small tune-up, YourMechanic makes house calls to a driver's home or office.
When it comes to getting a quote, YourMechanic makes it easy for users by offering an app and web-based service that works 24/7. In comparison to traditional repair shops, the costs of auto work is generally about 30% less.
On-demand apps are becoming extremely popular across a range of categories. Within automotive, there are also apps of this kind for drivers to arrange valet services, insurance plans, fuel deliveries, as well as transportation. In line with this huge demand for services of this nature, YourMechanic recently received $24 million in funding.
