I think the mobile mechanic idea is really good and I see several different companies in my area. Repairsmith.com and wrench.com have decent websites and service offerings. I would look for the top 10 mobile mechanic companies and study what services they offer and how each company stands out. Write down the pros and cons for each of them. Find out how much they charge.

But, the results might be mediocre...meaning, the recommendations... Source: almost 3 years ago

I have been asked to build a recommender system for TV shows at large scale, meaning thousands of users across the entire libraries of services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.
