How to check a kaarigar is genuine: CNIC, references, guarantee and the questions to ask

• Full name, phone number and city on record before the visit, not after
• CNIC: a genuine repairer does not mind showing it. On Mechanics4U repairers upload a CNIC photo and a short video; the team reviews it before the verified mark appears, and the site never writes "verified" on its own
• Photo on the profile that matches the person at the door
• For a workshop or shop: an address you can visit

• Ask what they did last week for the same fault
• Ask them to explain the likely cause before touching anything; a real tradesperson has a short list
• Reviews from previous customers on the profile, with the job and the area
• For specialist work (DC inverter AC, solar, automatic washing machines, gas lines), ask specifically for that experience

Every dispute starts with a vague number. Get the scope and the full price agreed before anyone travels: what will be done, parts and labour separately, who buys material, and what is not included. On Mechanics4U the price the repairer sends and you accept is the price you pay; nothing is added at the door. Ask for the old part back whenever a part is replaced.

A repairer who is confident in the work gives a re-work promise. On Mechanics4U it is fixed: if the same fault comes back within 48 hours, the same repairer returns and does the labour free. Ask any independent kaarigar the same question and listen to the answer.

• Your phone number is private until you choose someone; do not hand it out to every caller
• Keep valuables away from the work area; it protects both sides
• Pay the agreed amount, not "thora aur"
• Leave a review: it is the only reference the next family has

A WhatsApp number from a group has no name behind it, no history and no consequence. A registered profile has all three. The point of Mechanics4U is not that every repairer is perfect; it is that every repairer is identified, reviewed and answerable, and the price is fixed before the visit.
