Curbee makes its mobile service platform available to all U.S. dealers and OEMs
Mobile service technology provider Curbee announced the full nationwide launch of its software-as-a-service platform, making it available to all U.S. vehicle manufacturers and dealers.
The platform was launched to dealers on a limited basis in January.
Curbee also announced it has closed on additional funding that raises the total raised externally by the company to $12 million, which it said will fuel its expansion in the U.S.
The company was founded and backed by DVx Ventures in 2020, a company creation platform for launching and scaling startups.
Curbee, designed and launched by the former Tesla executives behind the automaker’s mobile service program, is designed to offer dealers an end-to-end mobile service solution that integrates directly into existing dealer management software.
The company said its software enables any established dealership to implement a mobile service business within its existing operation.
“Our vision at Curbee is to change car care for good,” Curbee CEO Denise Leleux said. “The dealers who have been with us since the beginning of the year are reporting immediate success, to the extent that our investors have injected more funds, allowing us to scale to serve any dealer nationwide.”
In a news release, Curbee said its B2B SaaS platform uses artificial intelligence-powered scheduling, predictive maintenance analytics and personalized customer communication tools. It also includes a built-in custom portal that gives technicians direct access to training and education programs.
One of the dealers who has been using Curbee’s platform said it fulfilled a longtime need.
“I’ve been looking for a mobile service software solution to properly support our local customers for 15 years, and have reviewed many options,” said Brendan Harrington, president of Autobahn Fort Worth in Fort Worth, Texas. “Curbee is the first solution that checks every proverbial box. We are really excited about what Curbee is doing.”
Since 2020, the company has focused on mobile service operations for consumers and fleet customers. It then used that experience with more than 20,000 service visits for 9,000 consumers and 1,100 fleet and partner vehicles, to design and build its platform, Curbee said.
“Our goals are aligned with those of our customer dealers,” Leleux said, “Empowering them to offer excellent customer satisfaction, maximize revenue and sustain profitability by offering a service today’s vehicle owners demand.
“Curbee is focused on empowering dealerships to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape.”
