Invest in Autohaven

Our Mission

To improve automotive repair by empowering mechanics with instant, AI-driven insights. We're building the first AI-powered platform that centralizes all vehicle repair data to save time and improve accuracy for repair shops worldwide.

The Problem

Repair shops face significant challenges:

  • Car manuals, TSBs, wiring diagrams, and procedures are scattered across multiple platforms and formats.
  • Technicians waste hours searching for trim-specific repair information.
  • Modern vehicles are evolving rapidly, making it harder to stay up to date with new technologies like EVs and ADAS.
  • Errors caused by incomplete or outdated information lead to lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction.

Our Solution

Autohaven is an AI-powered assistant specifically designed for repair shops. It provides:

  • A centralized knowledge base of factory service manuals, TSBs, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic procedures.
  • Instant, trim-specific repair guidance tailored to each vehicle using VIN decoding.
  • AI-powered troubleshooting that reduces diagnostic time by up to 30%.
  • A continuously improving system where repair shops can upload their own notes to enhance accuracy over time.

Market Opportunity

The automotive repair industry is massive and ripe for disruption:

Market Size

  • 230,000+ independent repair shops in the U.S. alone.
  • $800B global automotive aftermarket industry.
  • Growing demand for EV and ADAS expertise as modern vehicles become more complex.

Efficiency Gains

  • Technicians waste up to 45 minutes per job searching for information—costing shops $120–$180 daily in lost labor time.
  • Our AI reduces this time by providing answers in seconds, improving shop profitability and customer satisfaction.
