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. After growing its shop visits and revenue by 4X in only a year while increasing the number of repair shops in more than 10 cities in Colombia by 7X, Autolab raised a funding round of 6.5M USD led by Bullpen Capital to expand to Mexico. Autolab is now operating in Mexico taking its successful business model to another country in the region, and partnering with top companies that need their car fleet in the best condition at an affordable price. https://autolab.mx/
