Trust and safety

How we check mechanics, and what we promise you

Plain answers about what we verify, what we don't, and the promises Trackara can actually keep.

Quick answer

Before a mechanic can receive requests, a person at Trackara reviews their business details, current liability insurance and any credentials they list. Lapsed insurance pauses them automatically. This is a check, not a guarantee of their work: always agree the quote, and ask about their warranty, before work starts.

What we check before a mechanic gets requests

Business details

The business name, service area and the vehicles and work the mechanic says they take. These decide which requests they are offered.

Liability insurance

Carrier, policy number and expiry date. A mechanic whose insurance has lapsed stops receiving requests automatically, every day, until it is updated and re-checked.

Credentials they list

Certifications such as ASE or RVIA/RVDA, and a state license where they list one, with numbers and expiry dates.

A real person reviews it

Every profile is reviewed by someone at Trackara before it can receive requests. Profiles can be paused or removed at any time.

What we don't do

Being clear about this matters as much as the checks.

  • We don't guarantee a mechanic's work. The job is between you and an independent business. Ask them what warranty they give.
  • We don't run criminal background checks on mechanics.
  • We don't set or approve prices. Each mechanic quotes you.
  • We don't take payment for repairs or hold deposits.
  • We don't do recall repairs. Those are free at the manufacturer's dealers. Check for recalls.
  • We don't sell your information to anyone.

Our promises

01

Free to request

Sending a request costs nothing and needs no account.

02

Your details go to one mechanic

Only the mechanic who accepts sees your name, phone, email and address. We never sell them.

03

We never touch the money

You pay the mechanic directly for work you agreed to. No platform fees on your repair bill.

04

You hear from us if nobody can come

If no verified mechanic near you can take it, we email you. No silence.

05

Reviews only from real jobs

Only a customer whose request was completed through Trackara can review, once per job. Mechanics can reply. We only remove reviews that are abusive, off-topic or fraudulent, never because they are negative.

06

No fake anything

No made-up mechanics, reviews, counts or prices anywhere on this site. If a number is shown, it is real and live.
