For auto repair shops

“Find me an honest mechanic.”
AI hands over a few names.

New in town or facing a scary estimate, drivers ask AI for a mechanic they can trust before they hand over the keys. It names a few shops and the work goes to one. MentionedOn tells you whether it's you, every day.

Frequently asked questions

Do drivers really use AI to pick a shop?+

Yes, especially newcomers and anyone facing a big repair who wants a trustworthy second opinion. "Most honest mechanic in [city]" returns a short list of named shops that becomes the consideration set.

We have loyal customers and good reviews, why does this matter?+

Loyal customers are gold, but new ones increasingly start with AI. If it never names you, you miss them. We measure that channel and show you how to win it.

How do you check it?+

Daily, we ask the four major assistants the repair questions drivers in your area ask, unprimed, and record whether you're named, your ranking, and who's named instead.

What does it cost?+

$99/month on the Local plan, cancel anytime. Multi-location shops use Growth at $399/month.
