Every shop on MechanicMe is scored on inclusion and customer care — never on price. Because a good mechanic isn’t the cheapest one. It’s the one your neighbors trust.
One hundred points, painted right on every shop’s profile. Fifty for inclusion. Fifty for how customers are treated. And zero — on purpose — for price. Checked against the same rubric, every shop, every time.

Inclusion
Is this a shop where everyone gets talked to, not down to?
Welcoming to people of all backgrounds, cultures, and ages
Language accommodations and accessible customer experience
Inclusive workplace committed to respect, professionalism, and equal treatment
Cost: not scored
We never grade shops on price, so no one is pressured to cut corners to climb the list. Fair work costs what it costs — and it’s explained before it happens.

Customer satisfaction
The waiting-room test: would you send your mom here?
Comfortable lobby with amenities that enhance the customer experience
Convenient transportation options, including towing or ride-share assistance
Clear communication, loyalty rewards, and easy-to-find location information
Shops can pay for extra exposure on the dashboard — a featured spot, more eyes, more calls. What they can’t buy is a higher I.C.C. score. That number stays earned, every time.
