What Techs Are Saying

Finally getting paid what I'm worth. Made more in my first month than I did in two months at the dealership.

JM
James M. Master Tech • 12 years exp

The flexibility is unreal. I work 4 days a week now and still out-earn my old salary. More time with family.

RK
Rachel K. ASE Certified • 8 years exp

No more toxic shop politics. I pick where I work, and if a shop isn't right, I don't go back. Simple.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need my own tools?

Basic hand tools are helpful, but shops provide lifts, diagnostic equipment, and specialty tools. You don't need a $50K tool collection.

How quickly can I start earning?

Once verified (usually 24-48 hours), you can start browsing and accepting jobs immediately. Most techs complete their first job within a week.

What certifications do I need?

ASE certification is preferred but not required for all jobs. We verify your experience and skills. Specialized certifications (EV, diesel) help you access premium jobs.

Is this W2 or 1099 work?

You work as an independent contractor (1099). This means more control over your schedule and typically higher take-home pay after accounting for taxes.
