…taking the scare out of costly auto repairs!
Any repair. Any where. Let a MOD specialist help you. Membership in Mechanic-on-Duty provides immediate and unlimited access to MOD’s team of auto repair specialists. Just call, click or fax for the following benefits:
Repair Audit™ – As The Motorist’s Advocate™, when a MOD specialist undertakes a Repair Audit™ and speaks with a service repair industry representative on behalf of a member, three considerations are paramount: is the vehicle being properly diagnosed?, Is the vehicle at the right type of facility given the nature of the repair?, And, most importantly does the repair facility’s estimated cost to repair the vehicle represent a fair price? In order to avail yourself of this service just give your MOD membership card to the service writer at the repair facility and ask them to call MOD at 1-888-691-1663 before undertaking any repair work. MOD always engages the repair facility representative in a positive and polite manner and, importantly, as someone who knows the business as well as they do.
Repair Chat™– Contact MOD as often as you need. Our professional team will assist you with all your auto related questions. Whether this might involve vehicle servicing and maintenance schedules, manufacturers’ recall notices and technical service bulletins or to just plain inquiries concerning what could be wrong with your car.

When scouting out a good mechanic, the very first thing to look for is a badge from The National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). An ASE certified mechanic worked hard to pass the boards and will be very proud to show off their credentials.
Basically, this certification guarantees your mechanic has the knowledge and skill to perform any type of repair you might need: from a quick, simple fix to the most technical and intricate problem. Moreover, a certificate proves reliability, dedication and great work ethic.
The Code of Ethics proposed by this non-profit institution requests mechanics produce nothing but first-class workmanship; dedicate themselves to lifelong learning; use only safe, manufacturer approved materials; work only on necessary repairs; treat each vehicle as their own; correct mistakes made by other mechanics/facilities without damaging their reputation; conduct themselves so as to maintain a respectable ASE reputation; always work in best interests of car owner, employer and themselves (taken from www.ase.com)
If you have found an ASE technician that abides by the Code of Ethics, still be wary of his employer. The ASE cannot regulate or monitor their mechanics, nor do they have control over their workplaces. A mechanic could prepare an honest estimate and the shop owner could take that quote, add an extra hour of labor, overcharge for a part and hand the bill to you.
You can avoid inflated prices with a Motorist’s Advocate. Mechanic-on-Duty can find a trustworthy technician and repair facility. MOD will audit the bill and check for accurate Labor Time and Fair Pricing and if need be MOD will help negotiate the price of the repair on your behalf. At MOD, the technicians are ASE certified, adhere strictly to the Code of Ethics and are not swayed through personal, professional or financial means…guaranteed.

The CEO, Martin Conlon, states the auto repair industry is unregulated and the consumer on many occasions is misinformed by the service repair industry. Confusing “shop talk” has resulted in the motorist paying for overpriced service and maintenance on their automobiles and in some cases being charged for unnecessary repairs.
Conlon says, “Call Mechanic-on-Duty. We’ll translate the ‘shop talk’ into understandable language. We will help you understand what repairs are necessary and at what cost. We will determine if your vehicle is at the appropriate repair shop. Once your vehicle is at the appropriate shop, we will help negotiate the price. Our primary purpose is to help you save money whenever a repair issue arises.”
Mechanic-on-Duty, LLC. is an effective resource and our commitment is to serve the interest of the motorist only.
In a recent expose on the auto repair industry, Susan Koeppen from the CBS early show could have used the services of Mechanic-on-Duty. Koeppen wanted to know, “Is your mechanic taking you for a ride?”
The investigator provided auto repair shops and mechanics with similar vehicles that needed their front brakes replaced. The average price this repair is a $180. She received more estimates with inflated parts and prices then she did with standard pricing.
An auto repair specialist confirms, “There’s work being done that doesn’t need to be done, and people are getting overcharged for the work that does need to be done.”
If Susan Koeppen had a Mechanic-on-Duty membership, she wouldn’t have had to drive cross-country for the fairest price and highest quality…. All it takes is one phone call to your very own, Mechanic-on-Duty!

From the time I enrolled over the phone, right through to the first repair issue I discussed with a MOD tech, I have felt like I’m talking to a friend. That alone is great. But just this weekend MOD referred me to a nearby auto shop and I saved $575.00 on my repair. I would recommend their services to anyone and in fact I have already done so. MOD really cares.
