YourMechanic의 사업 내용

YourMechanic was founded in 2012 and is the first nationwide provider of mobile mechanics to car owners. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, YourMechanic is funded by SoftBank Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Ashton Kutcher, Data Point Capital, and others. We are on a mission to build the most convenient and trusted car repair service. Total trust comes from total transparency. YourMechanic is transforming the auto repair industry by delivering car care to car owners at their home or office in the top 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Mobile mechanics provide over 600 repair, maintenance, and diagnostic services at a fair and transparent price. By connecting mechanics directly with car owners in need of repair services, we are empowering these hard-working mechanics to control their quality of life. They are able to choose when they want to work (including evenings and weekends), and the type of cars and services they want to work on. The company has earned recognition from top organizations, and has won TechCrunch Disrupt SF (2012), Women in Auto Care's Best Business-to-Consumer Website (2016), and Automobility LA’s Top Ten Automotive Startup (2016). YourMechanic holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and maintains an average Yelp rating of 4.8 stars. In 2017, YourMechanic released a full suite of business-to-business products that offer innovative solutions to business partners at every point in the aftermarket car care lifecycle. Learn more at

자주 묻는 질문

YourMechanic의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 YourMechanic의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. YourMechanic과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
