uber for mechanics
1.0.0
Uber for mechanics is an on-demand platform that connects car owners requiring vehicle repairs or servicing to verified local mechanics. Similar to how Uber connects riders to driver-partners, this app enables car owners to search for mechanics nearby, view their profiles/feedback, book appointments and make online payments all through a user-friendly app.
Mechanics listed on the platform get access to a large customer base within their city to take up repair jobs, increase revenue and manage bookings efficiently. Customers save time and hassle finding trustworthy mechanics recommended by others in the community.
The mechanics app brings in transparency through a rating/review system while offering fast, reliable and affordable auto repair services right at customers' doorsteps. It has transformed the traditional auto shop business model to an on-demand, shared economy model.
