"Chose to grow slowly" is a great headline but that's not what happened.

Their business is fundamentally reliant on an accurate and high quality parts sourcing operation, which took years to build:

"To ensure it can provide any and all parts a customer’s repair could require, YourMechanic has had to build out a large catalog of parts from scratch, which took awhile. At the same time, just like any other services startup, it also had to perfect its operations before setting up shop in new markets."

Right. More like "chose to not to force faster growth than made sense for the business model".

Still, rare and commendable.
