Get Local Mobile Mechanic Leads From Driveways Near You
LeadHunter USA is a local Facebook group monitoring app for mobile mechanics. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with no-starts, batteries and alternators, brakes, diagnostics, pre-purchase inspections, and oil changes.
LeadHunter USA sends each alert as a push notification to your own phone, on iOS or Android. LeadHunter USA costs $75 a month flat, whether you watch three local groups or thirty. LeadHunter USA is read-only: it never posts, comments or messages anyone, on anyone’s behalf.

Lead examples
The kind of jobs mobile mechanics miss every week
The defining feature of these posts is that the car cannot be driven anywhere — which is exactly why they are asking neighbors instead of searching for a shop.
Examples written in the style of real neighborhood posts. Names and details are made up.

Why it is different
You are not buying old leads from a marketplace
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter USA helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
LeadHunter USA is not a lead marketplace. You pay one flat monthly price for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.
- No lead limits
- No contracts
- Alerts in seconds to minutes
- Mobile push notifications
- Profession-specific filtering

The customer cannot drive to you, which is the entire business
Every other trade on this site is asked for by somebody who could, in principle, have gone somewhere else. A mobile mechanic exists because the car will not move. That single fact changes where the request appears: a stranded driver does not search for a garage, because a garage is no use to them — they ask the people physically nearest, which is a neighborhood group.
It also means the geography is unusually literal. A post from four streets away is a job you can take before lunch; the same post from the other side of the metro is not worth the drive. The lead being local is not a nice-to-have, it is the margin.
Mobile mechanics have no published cost-per-lead figure in the datasets that price the home trades, which is a fair reflection of the fact that the category barely exists on those platforms. The demand is real and growing — people are keeping cars longer and value the day they do not lose at a shop — it simply gets asked for by description rather than by category.
There is no published cost-per-lead figure for mobile mechanic work. You can see what a lead costs in the 21 trades that are measured — roofing runs $101.15, landscaping $29.05 — for a sense of what the trades either side of yours are paying.
Work that lands beside mobile mechanic jobs
The same neighborhood post often mentions more than one trade.
Questions
Straight answers before you try it
Do I need a credit card to start?+
No. LeadHunter USA offers a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card to start it. Nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen at the end of the trial.
Is this only for mobile mechanic businesses?+
This page is built for mobile mechanics, but LeadHunter USA also supports other local service trades. You choose your profession and job filters during setup.
Where do the leads come from?+
LeadHunter USA watches the local Facebook groups you have already joined: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. It checks each post against your mobile mechanic job types before anything is sent. A matching request arrives as a push notification on your own phone, in seconds to minutes.
Will this get my Facebook account banned?+
LeadHunter USA runs on your own computer, not on our servers, and it only reads. It never posts, comments, likes or messages, and it never contacts a homeowner for you. You sign in to Facebook yourself, so we never see your password, and there are no bot accounts of ours sitting in your groups — it sees what you would see if you scrolled the feed yourself, on the machine you already use. Nobody can guarantee what a platform will do, and any vendor who gives you a guarantee is overselling, but read-only on your own login on your own computer is the least exposed way this can work.
Do I have to leave my computer on?+
Yes. The LeadHunter USA desktop app is the part that does the watching, and it needs to be running. It installs on Windows or Mac, runs quietly in the background while you work, and pushes matches to your phone — there are no tabs to keep open. If the computer sleeps, the watching stops until it wakes. The phone app is where you read the leads, not where they are found.
What if I am not in many local Facebook groups yet?+
Then there is not much to watch, and that is the honest limit of how LeadHunter USA works — it sees your groups, not everybody’s. Most people fix it in ten minutes by joining the neighborhood groups for the areas they already work in. Those are where "anyone know a good plumber?" actually gets posted, and being a member of a few of the right local ones beats being in twenty broad ones.
Are there lead limits?+
No. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month flat and includes every matching lead it finds, with no per-lead fee and no cap. The same $75 applies whether you watch three local groups or thirty.
How does LeadHunter USA compare with Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch or One Stop Social for mobile mechanics?+
What Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch and One Stop Social say about their own products, in their own words and checked daily, is at leadhunterusa.com/lead-alert-tools-compared. LeadHunter USA covers local Facebook groups, sends each match as a push notification to your phone, runs in its own app rather than your browser, and charges $75 a month flat with no limit on groups.
How is this different from Angi or Thumbtack?+
Different model. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads and is not a lead marketplace. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month for software that watches the groups you have already joined, with no per-lead charge. The post itself is public to that group, so being early is the advantage rather than ownership.
