The ‘Inconvenience’

Families, businesses, and fleet managers utilize their vehicles for daily duties. Whether it be commuting, school runs, errands, running deliveries, making sales calls, or providing vehicles for ridesharing or rental, a car that is out of action is a major inconvenience. More importantly, it also causes tangible pain such as missing work, business disruption, delays, financial losses, and revenue opportunity costs.

Traditional repair timeframes can often take days to address the issue, and this is after the long waiting period to even set the appointment. Once the car is within the care of a professional, customers are not always guaranteed consistent great quality. And there are severe mistrust issues as to whether they are being overcharged or overserviced.

The hassle continues with customers having to arrange alternative transportation options, without knowing sometimes for how long. They have to prepare themselves for a hefty bill, which they don’t know the magnitude of in advance of taking it to the repair shop. And the customers are not often informed enough of what they could have done to prevent the issue or incident.

All in all, the problem is that this negative experience is lived by essentially all vehicle owners globally, and the situation has not substantially changed over many several decades.
