 |
AutoLeap provides the leading all-in-one SaaS software that helps auto repair shop owners better understand, manage and grow their business – from scheduling appointments to managing technicians and generating invoices. The best auto repair shops choose AutoLeap as it helps them save time and make more money.
With thousands of auto repair shops still using manual, paper-based processes for auto repair estimates and invoicing, it's no surprise the automotive repair industry is underserved by technology. "AutoLeap is on a mission to transform the lives of auto repair shop owners. These blue collar, typically non-tech-savvy folks are hardworking, salt-of-the-earth type people who deserve better technology," says Steve Lau, co-founder and co-CEO at AutoLeap. "By reducing their administrative burden by tens of hours a week and driving more revenue, they can now go do things like see their kids' baseball games and finally begin to enjoy the fruits of their labor."
"It's 2021 and most auto repair shops operate like it's 1990. We are the game-changer for auto repair shops across North America, helping them organize, simplify their day-to-day operations, and make more money," said Rameez Ansari, AutoLeap's other co-founder and co-CEO. "This funding will allow us to lean in towards improving our product and providing best-in-class features to auto repair businesses."
Acknowledging the impact that AutoLeap continues to make, Ajay Agarwal, partner at Bain Capital Ventures, "Rameez and Steve have picked a segment which has historically been ignored by the high-tech industry. With approximately 300,000 auto repair businesses in North America, we're very excited about partnering with AutoLeap as it helps these businesses go to the next level."
