+1, this type of business suffers from the same problems that an Uber for $x would have. The moment YourMechanic were to expand to Toronto and undercut the competition, they would corner the market.

Because there's very little human touch to the mobile mechanic business model in addition to how infrequent one would use Fiix, people are in no way swayed on picking between YourMechanic or this - it all comes down to price competition.

I would definitely not invest in this product, especially because it's based in the Greater Toronto Area (for similar reasons why Instacart started in tech-savvy cities like New York and San Francisco instead of most of the GTA which is suburbia - for one to grow the seed for such modern apps, they should plant them in the most forward-thinking communities).

Is it not suspicious that both mattsolm and redstallion were created minutes before these comments were made. And both focus on promoting YourMechanic. It's okay to have competition, no need to be shady about it.
