Repair shop or garage
When a shop may be the better choice
A repair shop or equipped garage is usually the best choice for work requiring a vehicle lift, wheel alignment, tire mounting, refrigerant equipment, internal engine repair or extended diagnostic testing.
Service at your location
When mobile service may work
A mobile mechanic may be suitable for initial diagnostics, batteries, starters, alternators, minor electrical work and some maintenance. The provider should explain if the vehicle needs to be moved to a shop.

What to include in your repair request
Add enough detail for providers to judge the job before they respond. You can still say when you are unsure.
- Vehicle year, make, model, mileage and engine size if known
- Exact symptoms, warning lights, noises and when the problem occurs
- Recent repairs, parts replaced or diagnostic trouble codes
- Whether the vehicle starts, drives safely or may require towing
- Preferred service location, ZIP code, urgency and availability
Local service questions
Answers before you post
Is Rochester Mechanic Connect an auto repair shop?
No. It is a local marketplace that introduces drivers to participating repair shops and insured mechanics. The selected provider supplies the diagnosis, written estimate and repair service.
Can I compare more than the lowest repair price?
Yes. Compare labor, parts, diagnostic charges, service location, timing, provider experience and warranty terms before authorizing a repair.
What if I do not know what is wrong with my car?
Describe the symptoms you can observe, such as noises, smells, leaks, warning lights or starting problems. Request diagnosis rather than guessing at a specific repair.
