We know car repair can be a painful experience. Many Americans avoid it — an estimated $60-billion worth of auto repair and maintenance work is left undone each year. Too often, people ignore check-engine lights, oil changes and squeaky brakes. If you value your safety and that of your passengers, ignoring your vehicle’s basic maintenance and repair needs is a bad idea.
For many, half the battle is finding a mechanic. “Just tell me where to go!” you beg. Good news: we do. We understand that you want to know your options, and that sometimes a list of nine local shops’ quotes can be overwhelming.
When you see an “Openbay Recommended” badge in a shop’s profile, or next to a quote, you can be confident you’ll be working with a great mechanic. “How do those shops get that?” you ask. Here at Openbay, there’s no pay-for-play. Translation: they’ve earned it.
Reviews matter, and Openbay ratings and reviews come from real customers. If a shop doesn’t have great ratings and reviews, you won’t see an Openbay Recommended badge. We know you want to corroborate our data with external sites, so show you Google + and Yelp reviews, too.
No need to wait for these techs to get back to you. You message them, they message you back.
All Openbay Recommended shops have “Auto Quotes” enabled. This feature enables you to immediately receive real quotes for standard-priced services. If you’re an insomniac dying to book a brake job at 3am, you can request it and complete the booking with an Openbay Recommended shop by 3:03am.
All Openbay Recommended service providers have fully completed profiles. You’ll instantly know what their warranty policies are, whether the shop has wi-fi or shuttle service, and early drop-off. They’ve left no stone unturned, which saves you the time having to ask.
Rest assured: with Openbay Recommended, we’ll steer you in the right direction, to be sure you and your precious cargo are in good hands.
Drive a safe car, and drive safely!
