Autolab is a digital platform that connects repair shops with car owners offering people and companies affordable and reliable repairs while helping shops grow. That is why its purpose is based on solving a fundamental problem for each of these demographics. * For the shop owners, Autolab provides a reliable acquisition channel while helping them with tools for managing the shop more efficiently as well as support in customer service. * For the car or fleet owners, Autolab offers great consumer service (which is hard to find in this industry) through technology and customer service at an affordable price. Autolab is the result of a constant iteration and accelerated learning since 2014 when it was founded at Bogota, Colombia.
