You don't need a shop
to go out on your own.
Run your own jobs — estimates, booking, invoicing — in one free app. Then we send you new local customers on top. You keep 100%: no lead fees, no cut.
The work was never the problem. Opening a shop costs a fortune and the business side eats your day — ProperMech fixes both.
Pick your specialty
The cars you already know — BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Mini. Start lean with the tools you have.
Jobs come to you
Local customers who want exactly your specialty land on your phone. No per-lead fees, no race to the bottom.
Keep your money
A flat membership — no cut of your tickets. You set your rate and you keep it.
The part every good wrench hates — quoting, scheduling, getting paid — handled in one place. Start today with the customers you already have. It's free.

Run your own customers through it — free
- Send clean estimates. Build an itemized quote your customer approves right on their phone.
- Book & invoice in-app. Schedule the job and get paid directly — no shop, no back office, no 9pm paperwork.
Then we bring you more
- New local customers who want exactly your specialty land on your phone — no per-lead fees.
- Look pro from day one. Every quote and invoice carries your name.
Flat-rate, someone else's customer
- Paid book hours, not the hours you actually work — and you eat the comebacks.
- You see a slice of a $150–200/hr labor rate; the dealer keeps the rest.
- Warranty work pays next to nothing.
- The customer is theirs, not yours.
Your rate, your customer, your money
- You set the labor rate and keep it — a flat membership, no cut per job.
- Customers pay less than the dealer and you still earn more per hour.
- Send estimates and invoices from your phone in seconds.
- The customer is yours.
Rates illustrative — plug in your own. Remove the dealer's overhead from the middle, and both sides win.
We do the work.
It's time we owned it.
We're mechanics. We do the diagnosis, the skill, the hours, the comebacks — and someone else cashes the check. The dealer bills a small fortune an hour and hands you flag rate. You built the reputation; they kept the customer.
ProperMech is built by mechanics, for mechanics. The people who do the work should own the work — the customer, the rate, the money. You don't need their shop. You don't need their permission. You need your skill and your customers — and we hand you both.
Warriors for mechanics. Let's take the trade back.
