Essential starts at $24.99/month, and Premium at $39.99/month. Pay for the full year upfront and save 1 month of membership.

No setup fees. No cancellation fees. Ever.
We’ll email you and retry in 3 days. If it fails again, your membership benefits will be paused until payment is updated.
Membership fees are non-refundable, but unused service credits (e.g., prepaid oil changes) can be transferred or refunded upon request.
No, we currently do not offer payment plans or financing options for repairs. All repair services must be paid in full at the time of service.
There are no taxes on your monthly subscription. However, taxes will apply only to parts, not labor, as required by California law.
You can update your payment details directly through our Stripe-powered billing portal. Simply log in to your account and go to Billing to access the Stripe payment settings. If you need help, our support team can assist you.
Membership & Eligibility
A "mature" account is required to access major repairs like engine or transmission swaps. Your account becomes mature after 3 active months on a monthly plan, or instantly with an annual plan. This policy helps keep pricing fair for all members. For full details, see our Terms of Service.
With a yearly (annual) subscription, your account is considered "mature" immediately—so you’re eligible for major repairs like engine and transmission swaps from day one. Monthly plans require 3 active months before eligibility. Learn more in our Terms of Service.
Membership Cancellation & Refund
You can cancel your subscription at any time by contacting our support team or through your account dashboard. Once canceled, your subscription will not renew for the next billing cycle.
Your cancellation becomes effective immediately after the request is successfully processed. You will continue to have access to services until the end of your current billing period.
No. Once your subscription is canceled, no future charges will be applied. However, any charges already processed before cancellation are considered valid.
Refunds are generally not provided for charges that were processed while the subscription was active.
However, in some cases, we may be able to assist if the refund request is made within a short period after the charge (typically within 2–3 days).
Yes. Refund requests should be made within a few days of the charge. Requests made after a longer period (e.g., 10–15 days or more) may not be eligible due to banking and processing limitations.
If the subscription was not canceled before the billing date, the charge will still be processed. We recommend canceling your subscription before the next billing cycle to avoid additional charges.
You will receive a confirmation via email once your cancellation has been successfully processed. If you do not receive confirmation, please contact support.
