Open to a better mechanic job?
Tell us what you work on, what you're earning, and what would make switching jobs worth it. We'll let you know when a local opportunity fits.
Free for workers. No resume required. You decide who you talk to.
- Better pay
- Hourly, not flat-rate
- Shorter drive
- Ag or heavy-duty work
- A shop that pays for certifications
You don't have to be looking for a job to look for something better.
Maybe you already have work. But if another shop offered better pay, flat-rate that pays fairly, a shorter drive, or a shop with the right tools, you'd want to hear about it.
That's what Lokals is for.
What would make switching jobs worth it?
Better pay
Hourly or flat-rate? What would another shop need to pay to make it worth it?
Better shift
Regular days? No Saturdays? Seasonal overtime you choose, not get handed?
Shorter drive
How far are you actually willing to commute?
Better work
Ag equipment, trucks, or heavy-duty instead of oil changes? Diagnostics instead of tires?
More opportunity
Journeyman hours signed off, dealer training, a lead tech role.
Switching jobs doesn't have to be dramatic. Sometimes it's:
- $3 an hour more
- Hourly instead of flat-rate
- No Saturdays
- Ag equipment instead of oil changes
- Apprenticeship hours signed

Think dating apps, but for hiring. Both sides need to be interested before a conversation happens.

Your profile isn't an application sent everywhere.

We're building the local mechanic network.
Lokals connects local employers with mechanics who are actively looking or simply open to something better. Create your profile once. We contact you when a local job fits what you told us.
Quick answers
The questions we hear most from workers.
Do I need a resume?
No. We'll ask about your actual experience instead.
Does it cost anything?
No. Lokals is free for workers.
Do I have to be unemployed?
No. You can already have a job and simply be open to something better.
Will employers contact me directly?
Not unless you both say yes first. You decide whether you want to talk.
How long does it take?
Most of it is a short conversation with PinPal, in plain words. You can stop and pick it up later.
