YourMechanic hasn't magically replaced the trust system. It's simply another competitor offering its services...if you trust them. It only takes one bad mechanic to poison the well with customers. YourMechanic hasn't reduced the time it takes to perform basic repairs. The only practical difference is where the repair takes place and that you can schedule it over the web instead of over the phone. Existing mechanics already offer at-home repairs (albeit, at significantly higher rates than in-shop repairs) so YourMechanic's "innovation" is really just offering existing concierge mechanic services for a lower price. Here's the thing: any mechanic worth his oil doesn't have the free time to drive to customers to perform repairs. He may have employees drive out to customers to pick up cars on his behalf, but he will remain back at the shop. Thus, YourMechanic will ultimately attract the types of mechanics who don't have the skills to set up their own fixed locations, i.e., mechanics who are mostly definitely not the cream of the crop.
