Common questions

When does the platform fee apply?: Only on completed bookings. If a booking is cancelled, no-shows, or never confirmed, neither side pays anything to treadworks.
Are there any monthly or listing fees?: No. Mechanics list for free and only pay when they get paid. Riders never pay a subscription — just the 10% service fee at checkout per booking.
How do I get paid as a mechanic?: Payouts go to your connected bank account after each completed job. We're integrating Stripe Connect for payouts — the rough timeline is one business day after the rider confirms the work is done.
What about parts?: Parts are billed separately from labor. Riders see the part on their booking, can order via the suggested retailer, and track shipment status in the app. treadworks does not take a cut on parts.
Is there a cancellation fee?: Each mechanic sets their own cancellation policy — flexible, moderate, or strict. We show it before you book so there are no surprises.
How is the travel fee calculated?: Mechanics who offer mobile service set their own flat travel fee. It shows up as a separate line item on your booking total before you confirm.
