That's an interesting observation that made me slightly revise my opinion of the concept YourMechanic (formerly extremely bullish). My garage charges labor at $125 per hour, which is not the cost to the owner (I'm sure the owner pays his mechanics $50 or less). Nevertheless, a mechanic has to pick me up and drop me off at the train station, which is not that much worse than coming to my house. Incidentally, I'd never use an at-home service, even though it's very inconvenient for me to drop off my car at the garage, because the quality of car repair can be a life-or-death issue, so I'd rather that my mechanics have all the tools and equipment (car lift, adequate lighting, etc.) they need right at their disposal instead of being tempted to cut corners.
