instaMek Calgary is an automotive repair company that provides customers with on-demand vehicle servicing that revolutionizes car repair. In providing people with the innovative option of mechanics who come to them, instaMek Calgary takes a technology-driven approach to provide car-owners with a superior customer service experience. instaMek started after my mom had a terrible experience with car repair. In 2014, I went on vacation with my dad while my mom stayed behind. As luck would have it her car had a major issue that prevented her from driving it. Not knowing what to do – my mom went through a three-day ordeal involving numerous phone calls with unreliable mechanics and tow trucks. With the way things currently are - getting your car fixed is an herculean task. Asem and I were working as engineers and I approached him with the idea of an at-home mechanic service that would make car care super easy & convenient for people like my mom. After talking to people in the industry about our idea – they all turned it down saying it would be impossible to do. Not taking no for an answer, we set up shop in a local coffee shop and began advertising our new at-home mechanic business on our local listings website. Within a few weeks we realized people really loved this service and we had to go all in. It seemed like most car owners had just accepted that when it came time to fix their car it was going to be fight from start to finish. We learned this too when doing our initial research - shops were almost annoyed that we called, quotes weren’t given, and other times shops were booked for a week or two in advance. Even after getting a reasonable quote and booking made, we still had to deal with arranging rides to the shop and back. The whole process is as far from customer-centric and we deserve better.Location Details We're a mobile service: our mechanics come to you!
