What Wrench does

Wrench, Inc. is a Seattle-based mobile auto repair platform that dispatches certified, full-time mechanics directly to customer locations — homes, offices, and parking lots — to perform services ranging from oil changes and brake jobs to major engine, transmission, and diagnostic work. The company was founded in 2015/2016 and has built a network of more than 100 mechanics operating across 75+ US metropolitan areas. Its product architecture is a core mobile-repair service wrapped by several add-on modules: Wrench Fleet Solutions (enterprise dashboard for vehicle, employee, invoice, and approval management), TotalCare (subscription maintenance), Wrench Advantage (vehicle enrollment and rewards), and Towing & Roadside Assistance. The company also owns Lemon Squad, a national pre-purchase used vehicle inspection subsidiary, and acquired YourMechanic in June 2022, materially expanding its coverage to 35,000+ zip codes and a service volume of 20,000+ vehicles per month.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market motion: a direct-to-consumer funnel (phone booking, online self-serve at wrench.com, location-based SEO across city landing pages, and earned media) reaching individual vehicle owners, combined with an enterprise field-sales motion through a dedicated fleet specialist line for business fleet operators. Revenue is generated through three streams — per-service fixed-quote pricing for consumers, recurring fleet maintenance subscriptions, and per-inspection fees for Lemon Squad — though the company does not publicly disclose unit pricing or revenue. Wrench has raised approximately $32.5 million in disclosed venture funding across a 2016 seed, 2017 Series A2, 2018 Series A (Tenaya Capital led), 2019 Series B (Vulcan Capital led with Marubeni and others), a 2021 strategic investment from Bridgestone Americas, and a 2022 SEC Form D exempt offering. The current leadership team includes CEO Ed Petersen and co-founders Casey Willis (EVP, Business Development), Michelle Virta (Product), Doug Stevens (CTO), and William H. Beaver (COO, Legal).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• RepairSmith: Direct US competitor operating a mobile auto repair and maintenance service that dispatches certified mechanics to customer locations — virtually identical business model, customer base, and value proposition to Wrench's core offering.
• YourMechanic: Former direct competitor in on-demand mobile auto repair; now part of Wrench following the 2022 acquisition, but historically the closest peer in terms of model, mobile-first mechanic marketplace, and consumer targeting.

Broad incumbents

• Meineke Car Care Centers: Large national franchise network offering full-service auto repair and maintenance at physical shop locations — competes with Wrench for the same maintenance wallet but through a brick-and-mortar model rather than mobile delivery.
• Jiffy Lube: Largest US quick-service oil change and light maintenance franchise network; overlaps with Wrench on routine services (oil changes, fluids) but relies on drive-in locations.
• Pep Boys: National full-service auto care chain offering tires, maintenance, and repairs across physical locations — broad incumbent competing for both consumer and fleet service contracts.
• Firestone Complete Auto Care: Bridgestone-owned national service chain (parent is Wrench investor) combining tire sales with full mechanical repair — relevant peer given the strategic investor overlap and comparable consumer fleet offerings.
• AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care: National franchise specializing in transmission and drivetrain repair with broader mechanical services — comparable on advanced repair work Wrench dispatches mechanics to perform at customer locations.
• Christian Brothers Automotive: US franchise auto repair brand with a customer-experience-led positioning and full-service mechanical offerings — competes for the same trust-conscious consumer segment Wrench targets.
• Monro Muffler Brake & Service: Public US auto service chain operating neighborhood stores for undercar and general repair — large-scale incumbent in the same maintenance and repair spend pool as Wrench.
• Goodyear Auto Service: Goodyear Tire & Rubber's network of company-owned and franchised auto service centers — broad incumbent offering tires, alignments, and mechanical repair with national footprint.
