Automechanic

Automechanic.com, which operates as YourMechanic, provides mobile automotive repair and maintenance services directly to vehicle owners at their preferred location, such as their home or office. Founded in 2012 by Art Agrawal and Dongyi Liao, the company was established to offer a more convenient, transparent, and affordable alternative to traditional auto repair shops. In September 2012, YourMechanic won the TechCrunch Battlefield Disrupt San Francisco competition and secured $1.8 million in seed funding from prominent investors. The company was acquired by Wrench, a Seattle-based mobile automotive repair startup, in June 2022.

The business operates through an online platform where customers can get quotes, book services, and choose from a network of certified mechanics. This model eliminates the overhead costs associated with physical repair shops, allowing for more competitive pricing. YourMechanic offers over 700 unique services, from routine oil changes and brake replacements to more complex diagnostics and repairs. The company serves both individual car owners and commercial fleets across more than 2,000 cities in the United States. Revenue is primarily generated through service fees for repairs and maintenance. They also offer subscription-based plans for regular maintenance. All services are backed by a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.
