How it works

Three steps. No towing required.

  1. 1

    Request a mechanic

    Open the app, describe what is wrong, and pin your location in seconds.

  2. 2

    Get matched with a pro

    We connect you with a vetted mechanic working nearby — not a call centre.

  3. 3

    They arrive and fix it

    Pay through mobile money once the job is done, with a clear receipt in-app.

What you get

Built around how Ugandans actually drive.

  • Vetted mechanics

    Every mechanic on the platform is background-checked and tested on the work they take on.

  • Transparent flat fee

    See the price before you book — no surprise charges when the job is done.

  • Mobile money

    Pay with MTN, Airtel, or card — straight from the app, with a receipt every time.

  • Real-time chat

    Message your mechanic, share photos of the issue, and track them as they arrive.

  • Ratings reviews

    Every job is rated. The best mechanics rise to the top — and so do their earnings.

  • Built locally

    Designed for Ugandan roads, mobile money, and the real conditions of breakdown calls.

Built for Uganda. Rolling out nationwide.

Starting in Kampala, expanding to every major highway and town.

Questions

You asked, we answered.

When does the app launch?

We are in private testing with a small group of mechanics and motorists in Kampala. Public launch is planned for later this year — joining the waitlist is the fastest way to get in.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is a transparent flat call-out fee plus the cost of the job, shown before you confirm. We will publish a full price guide at launch.

Are your mechanics verified?

Yes. Every mechanic is ID-verified, reference-checked, and has to pass a hands-on skills assessment before they can accept jobs.

What if I am in a rural area?

We are launching in Kampala first and expanding outward along major highways. Add yourself to the waitlist and we will email you the moment we cover your area.

How do payments work?

You pay through the app using MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, or card once the job is complete. Mechanics receive their share by mobile money the same day.

Is my information safe?

We only collect what is needed to contact you about early access. We never sell your data, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
