Once your car is returned to you, the payment is automatically processed based on the card on file. Don't worry, all the information is securely stored and transmitted. AutoMech team members do not have access to your payment information and can only access the last four digits of your credit card number.
Why do I not see instant quotes?
-Once you request a service through AutoMech, we shop around on your behalf to provide you with 2 or 3 quotes for the service and do all the research you may spend hours doing.
1. You can see which shop provided the quote
2. You make the final decision based on your financial obligations
We are car enthusiasts who work with the best shops to provide the best service to our customers. We know what to look for and make sure the shops we work with do not upsell you on unnecessary repairs.
Where does my car get serviced?
-AutoMech works with dealerships and independent mechanics. However, we only work with the best shops in each category. You will have complete visibility into the shops who provided you with a quote and finally the shop you choose to get the work done by.
Is there a diagnostics fee?
-Yes, and this is one charge which is hard to estimate. Cars are complex – there are multiple sensors and electronics in cars these days which sometimes makes it hard to diagnose the issue. It can take a skilled technician time and sometimes requires expensive diagnostic equipment to get to the bottom of the issue.
However, we are not here to charge you unnecessarily. The diagnostic fee will depend on how long the diagnostic may take, so it may be free or it may cost money. We will try to give you an estimate and will let you know if the diagnostic will take longer than anticipated. In most cases the most if not all the diagnostic fee can be put towards the repair cost. Our goal is to make sure you get the very best service at the right price.
What if I don't know what is wrong with my car?
-If you do not know what is wrong with your car, please provide as much detail as possible when requesting the service. We may ask a few questions so to try to pin-point the issue. If we are unable to certainly say what the issue is, we will be happy to take your car in for a diagnostic to one of our trust worthy partners.
Do I get service receipts?
-Yes! We document the whole process form beginning to end, and the final receipt includes all the information. The final receipt is emailed to you so you can always search for a copy in your email or access it through our website (coming soon)! That's right, no longer you do you need to keep all the receipts in your glovebox or need to remember – when did I do xyz last? We store all your service history in one location no matter which shop works on your car.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
-We know you are busy and it may be that you need your car on the day it needs to be serviced. We allow cancellations 24 hours before your pick-up time without any charge. If the service is not cancelled 24 hours prior to the service, our minimum service fee will be charged regardless of the repair.
What if I already have a preferred repair shop?
-Good question! We are happy to take your car in on your behalf to a shop you prefer, if that shop is located within an 8-mile radius of the pick-up and drop-off address. We charge a flat fee of $40.00 for this service - we will book your appointment and take your car in on your behalf.
Just let us know what shop you prefer to use when booking a service.
