Will schedule appointments that are so far away there is no way to make them on time, much less the fact, that they don't pay you for the miles driven. They don't even pay you what your supposed to be paid. There is an industry standard for each job but for some reason that means absolutely nothing to them. But they still expect you to do the job faster than that standard. Hey they also expect you to work all day without a lunch break! Can you say slave labor?!?! 

Your Mechanic offers the best flat rate pay in the industry. You make your own schedule and if you are a skilled technician you can make a lot of money. The support team is very helpful and the platform is well designed and centered around delivering the best customer experience. Working with Your Mechanic is an awesome opportunity and it really brings to light the fact the customers are changing, everything is happening online now. Customers don't want to wait at the repair shop for hours anymore. A lot of my customers tell me where have you been all my life. :) 

Management is a joke. They hire you on a false promise that the company has growth and is moving in the right direction, only to be privileged to revenue data and you see a downward trend MoM. Once they automate your job they lay you off. There is no hope for career advancement and/or moving up in the company.If a new position is open, they much rather hire from outside than promote or train an employee from within. Management fails to meet the companies core values and does not take responsibilities for their actions.

Not enough money for required skill. Good for a part time gig (extra income). Would not recommend as full time. Company charge 120$ an hour & only pays you 40$. You have to drive all over, pick up & return parts/core. Don’t make a penny on parts/core. Get a small percentage of work that is recommended, that may be book with another technician if your time availability was not available. Bottom line company greedy, treat technician like 2nd class citizens. Your better off being a mobile mechanic on your own. No Benifits or holiday pay.

Great opportunity for entry level  mechanics to gain experience . And also for retired mechanics that still want to turn a wrench.  Your out in the field with no bosses or service managers hounding you .....your not stuck in a shop breathing exhaust fumes all day . And another thing is that you get to communicate with the customer on a personal level ......yourmechanic is a great gig in my opinion.

F*** this company. Too many restrictions and new rules every couple months and all against the technician work on the field. F*** the mecop (mechanic operation) they’re all tall nice and promises you this and that. When something happen you are the one responsible for everything. They’re even make you pay for the whole  job you working on if something goes wrong. Do some research before work for this F***ing company.

I did automobile vehicle inspections contracted for Uber, firm fair and consistent with soon-to-be Uber drivers as long as they meet the vehicle inspection criteria.

The app is poorly designed. Appointment times , driving and GPS travel times are very time conflicted, often resulting in Tech's being late for next appointments .
Techs DO NOT GET PAID for driving, or for countless hours spent on the app, at the parts store. Mechanics are missclasified as a  "contractor" , but scrutinized as employees.

So much of the day is spent driving long distances, that 3 hours per day is likely the most you will get paid for. You will likely work more than double the hours you are paid for because the allotted time is rarely sufficient, and you are not paid for driving or parts pickup. It's just a temporary way to survive if you don't have enough work at your shop.

Free food is the only good thing about this place. They promise raises that you will never get. They promise growth and promotions but only get more work and stress without any extra money. The supervisors are inconsistent. There are no solid policies in place. The people in charge have no car knowledge.
