🔧 Mechanics & Automotive Enthusiasts: Get Paid to Talk About What You Do
Know how to fix, maintain, or work on cars? Talk us through it step by step.
We are recruiting experienced mechanics, automotive professionals, and car enthusiasts for a flexible paid video recording project.
Using our app and a phone head mount, you will record first-person (POV) videos while performing real automotive repair and maintenance tasks and talk through what you are doing step by step.
🎙️ Show Us What You Do — and Talk Us Through It
Imagine you are teaching someone who cannot see what you are doing.
As you work on a vehicle, narrate the entire process. Tell us:
- What you are working on
- What problem you are trying to diagnose or fix
- What tools, parts, and materials you are using
- What you are doing at each step
- What you see, hear, feel, or notice
- What you are checking and why
- What you think might be causing a problem
- Why you choose one tool, part, or approach over another
- How you know whether something is working correctly
- What you would do differently if something does not work
- What safety precautions you are taking
- What you are going to do next
For example:
“I am checking the oil level first. I am pulling out the dipstick, wiping it clean, reinserting it, and checking it again. The oil level is between the two marks, but the oil looks fairly dark…”
You do not need to sound scripted or formal. Just talk naturally and continuously as you work.
🚗🔧 What Can You Work On?
You can record yourself performing many different types of automotive tasks, including:
- Changing oil and filters
- Checking and replacing fluids
- Replacing air and cabin filters
- Changing windshield wipers
- Checking tire pressure and condition
- Rotating or changing tires
- Inspecting and replacing brakes
- Replacing batteries
- Changing spark plugs
- Replacing belts, hoses, or other components
- Diagnosing mechanical problems

- Removing and installing automotive parts
- Using hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and shop equipment
- Cleaning and maintaining automotive components
- Restoring or modifying vehicles
- Organizing tools, parts, and your workspace
- Other automotive repair and maintenance tasks
The goal is not simply to show us how you fix a car. We want you to talk us through the entire process step by step.
