The unique inspection service is provided by a company called RideShare Mechanic.

However, before we talk about the way that RideShare Mechanic conducts vehicle inspections, let’s first take a look at how most drivers get their vehicles inspected in Alaska.

First, they have to go to a local mechanic or Uber Greenlight Hub to complete the inspection. This means that they have to drive there, which takes up valuable time and consumes gas to get there. It also means that they have to get there during normal business hours, which can be quite difficult with busy schedules and obligations today.

And if they go to a mechanic, there is often the fear that a mechanic will try to scam them into “repairing” all sorts of things that can cost a lot of money but aren’t even required for the RideShare inspection.

With RideShare Mechanic, you don’t have to do any of that! The way that RideShare Mechanic works is that they inspect your car through video chat. Simply by initiating a video chat session using your phone’s camera, the inspectors at RideShare Mechanic will review the items required on the 19-point mandatory vehicle inspection.

By doing the inspection in this manner, drivers have a significantly more positive experience compared to the traditional ways of getting their vehicle inspections. First of all, you can do the inspection from wherever your car is parked, even at your own driveway, and the time it takes is usually under 15 minutes, which means that you can get approved and start making money sooner! Additionally, RideShare Mechanic offers extended hours of operation – 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, to make it easy to accommodate everyone’s schedule.

The cost is low and comparable to that which a mechanic would charge. A nice perk that is worth noting is that you can schedule an appointment that works for your schedule, or you can request an on-demand appointment if you are in a hurry.

One other element of convenience is that RideShare Mechanic will complete your inspection form digitally and then send it to your e-mail, so you don’t have to worry about printing off the form and taking it to the mechanic.
