Questions drivers ask.
- Where is Otopair available right now?
- Staten Island, New York, is the first market. Shops there are onboarding now, and booking opens when the Otopair app launches on iPhone and Android. Every shop will be an independent Staten Island shop that the Otopair team has approved, and drivers from anywhere can book one.
- When is Otopair coming to Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan?
- Brooklyn is next on the ladder, followed by Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan. A borough opens once enough verified shops are on the network to book from; each borough page has a waitlist that emails you when the first shops go live.
- Does Otopair come to my location?
- No. Otopair is a marketplace for booking a shop, not a mobile mechanic. You bring the car to the shop you booked, at the time you booked, and the price is locked before you go.
- Which neighborhoods on Staten Island are covered?
- The whole island. Shops are concentrated along the North Shore, the Hylan corridor and the South Shore. The Staten Island page lists every verified shop with its nearest neighborhood, and the shop directory has each one's hours and services.
The map above is the same live network map as the home page. The shop directory lists every verified shop with hours and services, and applications are open to shops anywhere in New York City.
