PUBLIC BETAOnlyMechanics is in active testing. Features may change, and payments, subscriptions, UTK unlocks, conversion fees, Wrench Thanks, and payouts are coming soon.No cards are charged during beta.
HOW IT WORKS

Learn the repair. Find the wrench. Hire with a paper trail.

01

Search the exact problem

Start with vehicle-tagged videos, symptoms, diagnostic codes, free posts, or a nearby verified provider.

02

Ask before you authorize

Share symptoms, scans, photos, and prior work in one private thread. The provider can diagnose, advise, or prepare a repair proposal.

03

Accept the repair proposal

The written proposal names the scope, estimated price, service location, date, timeline, and provider warranty. During beta, acceptance records the job trail but does not create a platform charge.

04

Pay, confirm, and rate

Pay the provider directly for the repair. After service, confirm the work and publish a verified rating. Optional Wrench Thanks are coming after secure payments launch.

ONE PLATFORM · THREE WAYS TO WORK

From first message to a finished repair.

OnlyMechanics brings discovery, communication, estimating, approvals, scheduling, and repair history into one trail. Each provider lane keeps the workflow that fits its business.
