Sites bring mechanics and more to your door
Tech’s “sharing economy” movement has spawned companies like Airbnb and Relay Rides, which let people save and make money via exchanges for things like spare bedrooms and car trips.
Now a new slew of startups is using the model to match consumers with professional services for less.
YourMechanic, for instance, has a mobile network of certified auto mechanics who will come to your home or office; Pathjoy promises “maid service for the masses,” booked online. Similar exchanges are popping up for chefs (Kitchit) and barbers (GoHaircut).
