What Is Proper Mechanic?
Have you ever talked to a mechanic and felt like they were charging you too much for car repair?
Far too often people are bombarded with sales pitches, biased advice, and inflated prices. At Proper Mechanic, we believe fixing your car should be an easy, stress-free experience.
That is why we hired a team of "proper" mechanics to:
- Give you unbiased automotive advice
- Save you money on unnecessary expenses, and
- Help you avoid frustrating conversations with dishonest mechanics.
When naming this website, we landed on the word "proper" because it's synonymous with genuine, correct, and bona fide, which all just mean "honest". When you get advice from your mechanic, good or bad, you want it to be 100% truthful so you can make a proper decision.
Proper mechanics tell you what you need to know so you can make a proper decision.
