Brand system
A four-piece system. Use the right asset for the context.
- Wordmark — primary brand. Use for nav, headers, footers, email signatures, business cards, anywhere horizontal.
- Seal — secondary mark. Use for member-portal cards, social-media post graphics, profile avatars, anywhere a square mark is needed.
- Formal seal — full ornate version. Reserve for member badges, the founding-member wall, and printed materials.
- MA mark — tightest contexts. Use for favicons, app icons, social-media avatars at small sizes.
Use unmodified — no recolors, no proportional changes, no added effects. Maintain at least 24px of clear space on all sides at any size.
Wordmark — primary
Seal — everyday
Formal seal — badges & printed materials

The Mechanics Alliance is a trade association built exclusively for mobile automotive service professionals — solo operators, small mobile fleets, and the segment of the auto-repair industry that delivers service at the customer's location rather than from a brick-and-mortar shop.
Mobile automotive service is one of the fastest-growing segments in the U.S. auto-repair industry, but it has lacked a dedicated professional trade body of its own. Every adjacent segment has had one for decades — performance has SEMA, detailing has IDA, tire dealers have TIA, the broader aftermarket has Auto Care Association — but mobile mechanics have operated without organized representation, group-purchasing leverage, or a unified voice on policy.
Mechanics Alliance exists to close that gap. The association provides a researched resource library covering insurance, licensing (all 50 states), pricing, van builds, fleet contracts, diagnostics, and legal topics; advocacy on Right-to-Repair, mobile-mechanic licensing clarity, and home-based-business protections; community connection across the segment; and partner-discount programs on tools, software, and insurance. Mechanics Alliance is headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, founded in 2026, and operated by Commoner Apps LLC.

Founder bio
Use as-is, or trim to fit your format.
Elijah Strauss is the founder of Commoner Apps LLC, the Texas-based software company behind Mechanics Alliance, the trade association for mobile mechanics. Through years of building software for mobile-mechanic operators, Elijah saw the institutional gap that adjacent automotive segments had long had professional bodies to handle: licensing complexity, insurance inconsistency, no organized advocacy, no group-purchasing power. Mechanics Alliance was founded in 2026 to close that gap. Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; co-founded with Hannah Strauss.
