How do I join ClickMechanic as a mechanic?
You can apply to join the ClickMechanic network on our website. The application process is quick and simple. Follow the steps below:
Go to https://www.clickmechanic.com/mechanics/home and enter the details asked for on the form and click ‘Join free’
Next, let us know what type of mechanic you are - this won’t affect your application, this is simply so we can help you in the best possible way.
You will then be directed to the full application form, here you need to fill out all of your business details. Please fill this in accurately as if you don’t this may affect your application status.
If your application is successful you will see the below screen and will be asked to start setting up your ClickMechanic profile, simply hit ‘Get started’ to kick off the process.
To get started you will first need to set your password. Please choose a password that is 7 characters or more and something that is memorable as you will need this to access your application and later your account.
Next you will be asked to upload your documents, simply upload one or all of the following documents: At least a level 2 City and Guilds / NVQ motor mechanic qualification, Public liability insurance schedule & Motor trade insurance schedule. To upload these, click on ‘choose files’, select the document you want to upload and then hit ‘submit’. You will need to do that for each document. Once you have uploaded everything, click on ‘Next step’.
Once you have uploaded your documents you will next be asked to set up your payment account. ClickMechanic uses Stripe as a payment processor and so to be part of the network you will need a Stripe account in order to get paid. To set up your Stripe account you must fill in the details asked for as per your business set up. Any information that is incorrect will stall the process of setting up your account.
After you've filled out the information above, you will be redirected to Stripe to set up your account. Some of the information that you will have provided above will be auto-filled so you shouldn't have too much to fill out. Simply follow the steps and your Stripe account should be set up in no time.
After your Stripe account has been set up you will be redirected back to your ClickMechanic dashboard (don’t worry there’s not much more!). Once you log into your account you will see the screen shown below. Click the 'resend contract email' button if you haven’t already signed the terms and conditions. Please read the ts & cs thoroughly and e-sign the contract once you’re happy with everything.
The last thing you will need to do is set up your profile page. This is the page that customers will see so it’s important that it’s got helpful information that sells your business. You will need to upload a profile picture and enter your work history. Check out the example below for inspiration.
And that’s it - if you complete everything in one go, you could be getting new customers and business in just a couple of hours.
