Vehicle Inspection for Uber & Lyft Drivers in Kentucky

Are you excited about getting on the road and start making money with Uber or Lyft, but dread having to get your vehicle inspected? Let’s face it, for most of us in Kentucky, it’s a major inconvenience to go to a local mechanic to complete the inspection.

Consider all the actions you have to take to get this simple task done – you have to first of all drive to a mechanic, which can mean that you’re spending time and gas (maybe in traffic) to get there, and most likely you have to make sure you make it in time for their business hours, which can mean missing out on other important things such as work or time with kids.

And in the end, the mechanic can give you a long list of items that they want to upsell you on your car before they give you the completed inspection form, which can make the whole process very expensive!

Now, imagine if you did not have to do any of that for your vehicle inspection in Kentucky! What if you could just show your car to an inspector using your phone’s camera? At the end of the day, the requirements on the 19-point mandatory vehicle inspection are pretty simple… and in fact, there is a company that is doing this today for RideShare drivers all over the country! This company is RideShare Mechanic.
