With over 50 lakh vehicles on Bangalore roads it is very common to see people pushing their bike to the nearest mechanic or to experience a traffic congestion due to some car’s mechanical failure. Many a times the issues that cause us this pain are not that serious and can be fixed by a mechanic nearby. Only if we knew where to find the nearest trustworthy mechanic! Motormechs is a startup initiat
ive to curb the above problem and provide Bangaloreans the mechanic they so dearly need at times. They operate on a 24x7 model and has partnered with various different types of mechanics to provide commonly faced trouble on road. With a 24x7 helpline and mobile apps, available for apple and google, the aim is not only to serve the current needs but also easily scale up in the future. This ensures that irrespective of the demands service is provided. The service range offered by Motormechs currently includes various towing, battery jumpstart, flat tyre assistance, emergency fuel delivery and service booking. The prices are extremely competitive and below the market price. Currently there are roadside assistance providers who does similar functions but on a subscription model. Motormechs aims to challenge that by bringing in the services on demand. In a subscription model a customer pays anywhere from a range of Rs. 1000 to 3000 annually and majority of them end up not using the services. With the on demand model you only pay for what you use. Also the prices are negotiated and standardized across Bangalore so that the customer knows how much of the service he/she has used thus increasing the transparency.
