Some shops charge to come to you, some fold it into the job, some drop it if you hire them. It is the line most likely to surprise you in Fort Worth, because it gets quoted last and often not at all. Ask about it first. The diagnostic. That is his time working out what is actually wrong, and it is real work whether or not you approve the repair. Ask whether it comes off the bill when you say go. Plenty of shops do that and will not mention it unless you ask. Labor. Either an hourly rate or a flat book time for that exact job. Flat rate is better for you when a job goes sideways, because the clock stops being your problem. Parts. Ask whether you can supply your own, and ask for the part to be its own line rather than folded into one number. A quote you cannot take apart is a quote you cannot compare. ## What moves the number in Fort Worth - Where the car is sitting. A level driveway is the cheap case. A parking garage, a shoulder, or a spot he cannot get a jack under is not. - Drive time. Shops bill past a radius, and that radius is drawn from where they are based, not from the middle of the metroplex. - Time of day. Nights, weekends and same-day emergency work carry a different rate at most shops. - The part and the car. The same repair on two vehicles can be an hour apart in book time before anybody opens a price list. - Whether the diagnosis is already done. If you already know the part, say so, and ask for a flat quote on the job instead of an hourly one. We are not going to make up a number. Every "average mobile mechanic rate" we could find traces back to a site selling software or leads to mechanics. Ten sources agreeing while all ten sell something is one interested source, not ten. We are collecting real quotes from the shops listed here and we will publish the range and the sample size when we have it. Until then, here is the number we can back up, and here is how to get three real quotes yourself in ten minutes. Sourced wage data Hourly wages for automotive service technicians and mechanics in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas 10th percentile $14.56 25th percentile $17.85 Median $23.90 75th percentile $31.37 90th percentile $44.84 Mean $26.81 17,690 people hold that job in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area, at a mean annual wage of $49,720. Source: [U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics](https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_19100.htm), occupation 49-3023. That is what the technician earns, not what you get charged. The gap covers the truck, the fuel, the scanners, the insurance, and the drive time nobody bills you for directly. A shop rate well above the wage figures above is not automatically gouging. It is a truck coming to your house. ## How to get three real quotes in about ten minutes 1. Write down the year, make, model and engine, and what the car is actually doing. 2. Call three shops that list Fort Worth in their service area. The listings above are that list. 3. Ask all four every time: trip charge, diagnostic fee, whether the diagnostic comes off the repair, and hourly or flat rate. 4. Ask what is not included. The difference between two quotes usually lives there. 5. Do not send a parts deposit to somebody you found in a search result and have not checked out. ## Cheapest and least expensive are not the same thing The lowest number on the phone is the one most likely to grow, because a cheap quote is usually the one with the fewest lines in it. Compare quotes that are broken out. A shop willing to itemise the trip, the diagnostic, the labor and the part is telling you what you are buying. ## Claim your listing Already listed here without a badge? Claim your listing, confirm your details, get the owner-confirmed badge. Free. Verification is by email. You confirm from the address already on the listing or one at your business domain, and the badge goes live. Verified means the owner confirmed his own contact details, not that we vouch for his work. Claiming is free, and it is also the gate. Every city page has one featured spot at the top, $79 a month, first come first served, and only an owner who has claimed his listing and confirmed his email can take it. Standard listings underneath stay unlimited and free. Featured means paid placement. It is not us saying a mechanic is good. City taken? Join the line. First shot when it opens. Joining the line is free too, and it does not skip the claim step. A text-to-claim option is coming. There is no claim phone number published yet, so do not text a number you found somewhere else. ## The featured spot for Fort Worth is open. One spot per city page. First shop to claim it gets it. $79 per month That is the price, stated plainly. There is no quote to request, no setup fee, and no contract term. - Top placement on the city page you pick, above the standard listings - One featured spot per city page. Not a rotation, not three shops sharing the top. - $79 a month, flat. No per-lead charge, no commission, no contract term. - First come, first served. - Your service list, hours, and service radius on the listing - A direct link to your own site or booking page - The owner-confirmed badge, once you confirm your details - Standard listings underneath are unlimited and free, now and later. City taken? Join the line. First shot when it opens. The order matters. Claim your listing, confirm your email, and then the featured spot is yours to take if the city is still open. You cannot buy the spot on a listing nobody has claimed. What it does not get you: we do not promise you calls, jobs, or revenue, and we will not tell you what to expect from a placement. We do not sell leads, we do not take a percentage of your work, and we do not sit between you and the customer. The driver calls your number directly.
