Vehicle Inspection for Uber & Lyft Drivers in Indiana

FACT: the top reason drivers in Indiana postpone their application is the mandatory vehicle inspection.

I think we can all agree that it’s not very convenient to go to a local mechanic and get a vehicle inspection. The reasons are plentiful- it takes up time from your day, it costs money, you have to consume gas, and frankly, it can be quite frustrating. Also, the fear that the mechanic may give you a long list of recommended services can really give drivers a negative experience.

The good news is that there is an alternative to the traditional mechanic in Indiana. The alternative is RideShare Mechanic, a virtual mechanic that conducts vehicle inspections with video chat apps such as Facetime or Duo.
