Mobile Mechanic

Mobile Mechanic accounts run flat-rate or parts-plus-labor repair jobs at the customer's home or fleet yard. Most of the oil-change-specific UI (quart math, oil viscosity capture) still works but you'll spend most of your time configuring services that mirror typical shop jobs.

Starter jobs

When you finish onboarding as a Mobile Mechanic we offer to seed:

• Diagnostic Scan
• Battery Replacement
• Front Brake Pad Replacement
• Rear Brake Pad Replacement
• Alternator Replacement
• Starter Replacement
• Serpentine Belt Replacement

These are flat-rate examples to anchor your catalog. You'll likely want to clone and rename these into more specific variants (front brakes for sedans, front brakes for half-ton trucks, etc.) once you see how your customers book.

How pricing works on the booking widget

By default each mechanic service is a flat rate. For add-ons that are vehicle-specific (e.g., a serpentine belt for a particular make and model), set a PartsTech category and we'll price the part from the live catalog:

1. Open the add-on under Settings -> Service Types.
2. Pick a PartsTech category.
3. Set a labor amount and a markup percentage.

The widget quotes the customer the average PartsTech retail times (1 + markup) plus labor. The number you see in Settings is the flat-rate fallback used when PartsTech can't price the part.

Inspections (recommended)

Most mechanic operators turn on Require inspections before complete (under Settings -> Inspections). When that's on, a technician can't close out a work order until the attached inspection is marked complete, which forces sign-off photos before invoicing. This protects you on disputes and gives the customer a record of what was done.

Integrations we recommend

• PartsTech for live parts pricing on add-ons.
• QuickBooks Online for invoicing and accounting sync. See the QBO guide.
• Rainforest Pay for card processing.
• Inspections to capture pre-/post-repair photos.
