This service is only available in Toronto, Canada. Seems like a good idea if the price is right. I'd love this for regular car maintenance.
According to the bottom of the home page, they are available in over 20 locations.

I'd hate to be a mechanic working outdoors in winter Toronto. Just thinking of handling steel tools with un-gloved hands (otherwise you can't grasp much) makes me feel sorry for those folks.
We try to maximize the number of bookings inside a garage, and they're all equipped with both heated jackets and portable heaters.
When it gets way too cold, we prioritize mechanic happiness and reschedule all the jobs for the day.
Here's what I want: To take my car to a gleaming, state of the art repair facility with every tool I could ever need, staffed by auto mechanic "coaches" who will help me repair my car myself.

This is a great idea, but I don't see why I would want to book a specific mechanic rather than let you choose the best one for me based off my model/make/needs.
How do you guys compare yourselves to https://www.yourmechanic.com/ , also a YC startup?

This is incredible! I have just thought about doing the same thing with chefs. As in: you order a (not the Michelin-star kind) chef who'll come to your house and teach you how to cook some tasty meal, without worrying about buying ingredients, tools etc. We learn from plumbers and technicians, why not learn from chefs?
