The Truth About Repair Shop Markups — And Why Mobile Mechanics Make More Sense

Before starting My Mechanics LLC, I worked at a well-known tire and repair shop — and what I saw behind the scenes stuck with me.

Parts that cost $30 wholesale were marked up to $90 or more before a customer even saw the invoice. A 300% markup wasn’t unusual — it was the standard. It left me feeling sick. Not just because of the pricing, but because customers had no idea. They were paying premium rates for basic repairs, and in many cases, mechanics weren’t even seeing a fair share of that money.

That’s one of the biggest reasons I started My Mechanics LLC.

By going mobile, we cut out the inflated costs of traditional repair shops — no building rent, no front desk staff, no unnecessary overhead. That allows us to:

    •    Charge fair, transparent prices

    •    Pay our mechanics well for their time and skills

    •    Focus on doing what’s right for the customer — not padding the bill

We’re here to do things differently — with integrity, honesty, and respect for both the people driving the cars and the people fixing them.

If you’re tired of overpriced quotes and underwhelming service, give My Mechanics LLC a try. We’ll come to you, give you upfront pricing, and treat your vehicle like it’s our own.
