OnlineMechanix Makes It Easier To Hire A Wrench Monkey

Screen Shot 2012-07-16 at 10.53.54 AMWe all have a horror story: you picked a mechanic from the phone book, made an appointment, took the car in for a minor repair, and got it back with three wheels missing and the roof on fire. That's why John Formento, Jr. and his dad created OnlineMechanix, a scheduling system and discovery engine for local mechanics.The site currently serves 700 repair shops and allows users to find shops in their area and schedule appointments online. Sadly, consumers have been slow to adopt the service (but that could change as the company begins a marketing push with some viral videos). They're experiencing 100% growth in mechanic sign-ups, however, which suggests they may be on to something.
