Make a thoughtful connection.
Check the person and the plan.
Mechanics provide their own profile information. FindMechanic does not independently verify licenses, insurance, identity, or experience. Ask for relevant qualifications and confirm that the person is suitable for your repair. Reviews are linked to jobs completed on this platform.
Keep the agreement clear.
Discuss the work, parts, price, timing, and any warranty before accepting a bid. Use your private chat to record changes and confirm an appointment. Exact addresses, phone numbers, VINs, and other private details do not belong in a public job description.
Understand payments.
Arrange payment directly with your mechanic. FindMechanic does not hold deposits, process repair payments, or provide escrow, insurance, or a workmanship guarantee. Be cautious about unexpected payment requests and confirm the recipient before paying.
Use your judgment on the road.
If you believe your vehicle is unsafe to drive, stop using it and seek appropriate local assistance. This marketplace is not an emergency dispatch service or a substitute for a qualified inspection.
Report problems.
