- Status Shows Pending. Once authorization is given your repair request is immediately sent to a mechanic and is Pending a mechanic's acceptance. You will get a push notification once the mechanic picks up your request.
You can easily text the mechanic using the Chat feature located on your repair order. It works just like texting. Or you can use the Call button.
We highly encourage our mechanics to use the app's Chat feature over "texting" because it logs your conversation and attaches it to the specified repair order.
NO CASH TRANSACTIONS ALLOWED. All transactions are done through Auto Monkey's platform. This ensures security and tracked payments. Any transactions made with the mechanic void all warranties and contractual obligations with Auto Monkey. Read more of these Terms and Conditions under Payment Methods.
Tipping is provided as an option in the platform also once the requested service is Completed.
Customer authorized service estimates put on a "pending" reservation on the funds approved by your authorized signature. IF you cancel your request the reservation is released immediately. No money is actually exchanged until a repair is Completed.
Canceling a Repair is easy. Simply "View Repair Estimate" then click the cancelation button toward the bottom of the estimate details.
You can cancel a repair any time up until the mechanic status shows, "On The Way."
