Descriptiontext

RepairSmith is a mobile automotive repair and maintenance startup founded in 2018 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company operates a fleet of fully equipped mobile repair vans that dispatch certified technicians directly to customer locations — homes, workplaces, and fleet facilities — to perform services including battery replacement, brake work, oil changes, spark plug replacement, and glass repair. Its core technology is operational rather than software-centric: a mobile logistics platform that coordinates technician routing, parts inventory, and online booking, with the service delivery occurring physically at the customer's site.

The company serves two primary customer segments: individual vehicle owners (its primary market) who value convenience and transparent pricing over traditional shop visits, and fleet operators (a secondary segment) that require on-site maintenance to minimize vehicle downtime. Pricing is structured around per-service transaction fees, with warranty coverage included; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company scaled to 650 cities across six U.S. states by August 2021.

As of August 2021, RepairSmith had raised $42 million in Series B funding from Mercedes-Benz, Porsche Ventures, TI Capital, and Spring Mountain Capital. The company also executed two acquisitions in 2020 — CarDash (February) and More Automotive Group (June) — to expand capabilities. The firmographic footprint and web assets indicate the business has since been integrated with AutoNation under the AutoNation Mobile Service brand, leveraging AutoNation's national dealership network for customer acquisition and service delivery.
