YourMechanic is an [on-demand auto service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-service-experience) that believes: "Life is too short to spend it at the repair shop." Rather than having to travel the distance to the mechanic each time a vehicle is in need or a big repair or a small tune-up, YourMechanic makes house calls to a driver's home or office.

When it comes to getting a quote, YourMechanic makes it easy for users by offering an app and web-based service that works 24/7. In comparison to traditional repair shops, the costs of auto work is generally about 30% less.

On-demand apps are becoming extremely popular across a range of categories. Within automotive, there are also apps of this kind for drivers to arrange [valet services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park4me), insurance plans, fuel deliveries, as well as [transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transportation-apps). In line with this huge demand for services of this nature, YourMechanic recently received $24 million in funding.
