1. Extended warranty companies or individual customers order an inspection from us. 

2. We then dispatch it to you via text message and email. You log into your dashboard and accept or decline it.

3. You as the inspector, schedule it with the Repair Facility. Perfect turnaround times are the next business day. 2 business days is acceptable. Anything longer than that and the warranty companies start to complain.

4. You perform the inspection. You'll take pictures and videos of the vehicle, the diagnosis and failed parts the technician or service advisor demonstrates to you. This is nuanced part of the process and we will do our best to support you in your first few inspections until you become comfortable. 

5. Once you have pictures and videos captured and uploaded, while you're still at the repair facility, you'll fill out a small form and submit it to us for quality control and approval.

6. And that's it! You'll be on to your next job.

Your role is to verify the technician’s diagnosis. For example, a common inspection is for a failed transmission because these are high ticket items. You and a repair facility representative should take the vehicle on a short test drive to verify shifting concerns, preferably with some form of live data, and you will video record the displayed symptoms. Sometimes a repair facility will recommend only a torque converter or a valve body to repair the issue, and sometimes they will recommend an entire transmission unit. This is where your experience and expertise come into play and you'll look at the data and verify what they are showing you. If it makes sense, great! If it doesn't, ask for more questions or data. Once you feel confident in their diagnosis, or have reached a point where no more information can be gained, then finish up and write the report. 

Very important note; DO NOT DRIVE A CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE. even if you have insurance that covers test drives, it does not apply. Because the customer left the vehicle in the repair facility's care, they are responsible for any incidents that occur to the vehicle during test drives. If you drive the vehicle and an accident happens, you will be responsible for all damage that occurs to the vehicle. This gets very difficult to navigate and will quickly end up in a lawsuit.

Generally an inspector is expected to cover a 30-60 mile radius but this is entirely up to the inspector, and highly geographically dependent. Someone in Kansas City may never have to leave the metro area, but our founder, Bradley, covered the entire southern half of Missouri.

1. This is a 1099 sub contract position. You will have to keep track of your own expenses, but if you have never done that before, we are happy to help you.

2. The going rate for an inspection is $60 per inspection. This accounts for approximately 30 minutes at the dealership plus driving. Some inspections are longer and some are shorter. The more prepared you are, the faster they go, the more money we all make. 

3. A full time inspector can do 8-10 a day if they push really hard and the volume exists. You can do as little or as much as you want based on the available volume. 

4. Full transparency here; warranty companies generally pay $100 per inspection, depending on the agreement. However, they are always looking to lower cost so we must remain competitive in pricing. Because we are a start up, we are going to contract at $90-$100 per inspection. Since you are doing the work you deserve the greater share, but we are all in this make money. 

Yes there is, but again this is dependent on the inspection. Inspections are flat rate generally and mileage fees are usually absorbed by us (BST). Some special cases arise though. We will work with you to build out a price and location sheet but generally a rule of thumb is $0.72 per mile one way from your home location + $35 when building an estimate for a long distance inspection.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We are people serving people and we want to always remember that.

Bradley, our founder, was a leader in the military (Non-commissioned Officer if you are veteran) and he is a people first, subordinates first leader. If you have a problem, from personal to business, he cares and will do his best to help in any way possible.

Sarah, his wife and co-founder, is also people and family first in her leadership style. She brings a passion and empathy only found in the best people, and will support you and help you to the absolute best of her ability as well.

If we don’t have an answer, we will find an answer.

Mobile Mechanics and Technicians make the perfect Inspector for a variety of reasons.

1. You have experience as a technician. Often, you have certifications from ASE and OEMs.

2. You are already set up as an LLC or Sole Proprietor. This demonstrates a self motivation and internal drive to make things happen. This also demonstrates an intestinal fortitude to plan for and survive the slow moments, as well as thrive in the busy ones. Work will always ebb and flow and the entrepreneur knows this.

3. Come backs have a much higher risk to Mobile Mechanics so the successful ones do the job right, the first time. Inspectors need to have that exact same mentality.

A cell phone and reliable transportation are necessary tools. Scan Tools, even basic ones, are helpful, as well as a flashlight, straight edge and borescope, but they aren’t required.

People skills are a huge helpful thing. The ability to read and write complete sentences is necessary, as well as a significant ability to understand another technician’s diagnostic notes when they aren’t clear.

These are all skills a Mobile Mechanic typically has, thus making them a perfect fit.
