Mechanic Protection & Safety
Built to protect the people doing the work.
FlyTrap was designed with real mechanics. These policies aren't fine print — they're the foundation.
Refuse unsafe environments
Mechanics may decline or leave any job that feels unsafe — no penalty.
Zero tolerance for hostile behavior
Aggressive, intoxicated, abusive, or threatening customers are removed from the platform.
Walk-away protection
Mechanics may leave unsafe jobs at any time and still get paid for time on site.
Diagnostic time is billable
Diagnostic and travel time is compensated even if the customer declines the repair.
Customers must agree to terms
Electronic agreement is required before any request is dispatched to a mechanic.
Independent labor pricing
Mechanics are independent contractors and set their own labor rates and parts pricing.
Cancellation & abandonment fees
Jobs abandoned or canceled after dispatch may incur a fee to protect mechanic time.
Mechanic Compensation Protections
No more unpaid drives. No more eaten diagnostics.
Built around the exact pain points mechanics describe doing side work today.
Travel & dispatch pay
Every accepted job includes a base travel fee — mechanics are paid for the drive, not just the wrench time.
Cancellation protection
Cancel after the mechanic is dispatched? A portion of the job is released to cover their time on the road.
Diagnostic deposit
Diagnostic fee is captured at booking. Even if the customer declines the repair, the mechanic is paid for the diagnosis.
Unsafe-job walk-away
Mechanics can leave any unsafe environment without penalty. Travel compensation is still paid.
In-App Safety Tools
One tap to leave. Admin notified instantly.
If something feels wrong, mechanics report it and walk away. We handle the rest.
Reports are reviewed by FlyTrap operations. Customers flagged for unsafe behavior are removed from the platform.
Mechanic Job Flow
Every job, fully scoped before you accept.
Mechanics see the whole picture — issue, vehicle, photos, GPS, environment notes, and payout — before committing.

Signatures & Waivers
Real documentation. Real protection.
Every job is backed by digital signatures, timestamps, and a clear paper trail.
Work authorization signature
Customer signs digitally before any repair begins. Stored on the job file.
Safety repair disclaimer
If a safety-critical repair is declined, the customer signs a disclaimer acknowledging the risk.
Liability waiver
Standard waiver for at-home and roadside work — agreed to before dispatch.
Independent contractor structure
Mechanics are independent operators. FlyTrap connects, documents, and protects — does not employ.
Warranty & Disclosures
Clear warranties. Tracked claims.
FlyTrap is a marketplace — mechanics are independent operators. Warranties are theirs to honor, ours to document.
Labor warranty per mechanic
Each independent mechanic sets and discloses their own labor warranty (e.g. 30 / 60 / 90 days). Visible before booking.
Parts warranty pass-through
OEM and aftermarket parts carry the manufacturer's warranty. Receipts are stored in your service file.
Warranty claim workflow
File a claim through the original job ticket — FlyTrap routes it to the original mechanic and tracks resolution.
Fraud & Chargeback Protection
Mechanics get paid. Bad actors get removed.
The same documentation that protects customers protects mechanics from fraudulent chargebacks.
Chargeback protection
Documented estimates, signatures, and after-photos build the evidence file FlyTrap submits on a mechanic's behalf.
Bad-actor enforcement
Customers or mechanics flagged for fraud, theft, or harassment are removed and blocked across the platform.
Admin review center
Every flagged job is reviewed by FlyTrap operations — not auto-decided by an algorithm.
Pattern detection
Unusual cancel rates, repeat disputes, and payment failures trigger holds before they hurt mechanics.
Dispute Resolution
Fair process. Documented evidence wins.
Because every job is documented end-to-end, disputes are decided on facts — not who yells louder.
