Auto Industry Revolution

Recently, mobile mechanic businesses have entered and taken over the auto repair industry. In a world with apps such as DoorDash and Uber and companies like Amazon that have made our expectations of receiving goods and services immediately available, it’s no wonder people like you and me expect this same level of convenience in other parts of our life. Going to the mechanic shop to get your car repaired is quite frankly an annoying process. From setting aside a day to drive to the shop, waiting for hours to have a repair done, and not getting your vehicle for the whole day, then getting overcharged with things that “needed a replacement”, the process is super time-consuming. 

‍

Luckily, there has been development in the auto repair industry with the convenience factor. Looking up “food near me” is now an adjacent search with “mobile mechanic near me.” Mobile mechanics are the newly available car repair services in comparison to standard brick & mortar mechanic shops. Mobile mechanics come to you, the only issue is, it’s hard to find them because they’re independent, small businesses. 

‍

There is a website called Kijiji which is basically Canada’s “Craigslist.” It’s a place where start-ups to fully established and running businesses can advertise their products and services. It’s a great opportunity for mobile mechanics to promote their business but it costs them to advertise, and they can easily get lost in the pool considering the amount of ad traffic this website has.  Finding the right auto repair on websites like Kijiji is especially stressful because there’s a lack of reviews for new mobile mechanics trying to market themselves. This makes it hard for customers to trust a mechanic’s skills in repairing their beloved source of transportation.

So what is the actual solution to this problem? 

‍

A new app called WiDrive created by a company called Wi-Tech operating in Calgary, Alberta, has solved the exhausting car repair experience. WiDrive's whole purpose is to find mobile mechanics near you. The company hand selects the mechanics onboard the app, ensuring they're trustworthy and skilled to help you with your auto repairs. 

‍

You can view years of experience, specialties, and customer reviews on the mechanics' profiles. Customers and mechanics choose a series of dates and times that work for them, and a mutual date is scheduled for the service to occur. The mechanic can then send a quote to the customer, and customers pay directly through WiDrive. You don't have to worry about money leaving your account immediately because the customer and the mechanic have to confirm a job is complete for payment.

‍

Wi-Tech is making a revolutionary improvement in the auto repair industry because it debunks many of the public's negative perceptions of mechanics. The work Wi-Tech is doing is saving people time and energy and bringing convenience to the auto repair industry. The benefit of Wi-Tech's services is it gives you back the time on things in your life that you would've missed out on or couldn't do because of your annual car service and a needed oil change. With our full modern-day schedules, Wi-Tech is the solution.
