The work was never the problem. Opening a shop costs a fortune and the business side eats your day — ProperMech fixes both.
Pick your specialty
The cars you already know — BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Mini. Start lean with the tools you have.
Prepare for local requests
When the beta opens, the product is designed to show service requests that fit your trade and area. Demand is not guaranteed.
Keep your money
A flat membership — no cut of your tickets. You set your rate and you keep it.
Preview the workflow for quoting, scheduling, messaging, and invoicing in one place. Live availability begins after store approval and beta launch.
Preview the customer workflow
- Send clean estimates. Build an itemized quote your customer approves right on their phone.
- Book & invoice in-app. Schedule the job and get paid directly — no shop, no back office, no 9pm paperwork.
Then test local demand
- Relevant local requests are the beta goal; the test will measure how many actually convert into work.
- Look pro from day one. Every quote and invoice carries your name.
Flat-rate, someone else's customer
- Paid book hours, not the hours you actually work — and you eat the comebacks.
- You see a slice of a $150–200/hr labor rate; the dealer keeps the rest.
- Warranty work pays next to nothing.
- The customer is theirs, not yours.
Your rate, your customer, your money
- You set the labor rate and keep it — a flat membership, no cut per job.
- Customers pay less than the dealer and you still earn more per hour.
- Send estimates and invoices from your phone in seconds.
- The customer is yours.
Rates illustrative — plug in your own. Remove the dealer's overhead from the middle, and both sides win.
We do the work.
It's time we owned it.
We're mechanics. We do the diagnosis, the skill, the hours, the comebacks — and someone else cashes the check. The dealer bills a small fortune an hour and hands you flag rate. You built the reputation; they kept the customer.
ProperMech is built by mechanics, for automotive service providers. You bring the skill and set your own rates; the product is designed to make requests, estimates, approvals, and customer communication easier to manage.
Warriors for mechanics. Let's take the trade back.
The Go-Independent Starter Kit
Going out on your own is the scary part. We hand you the playbook so you start clean and legal — not guessing. Yours free as a founding tech.
