{"id":110407,"title":"CarSignal: The AI Operating System for Auto Shops","tagline":"Your shop runs on one AI platform: booking, diagnostics, quoting, parts, and payments all in a single loop.","body":"**TL;DR**:\\\nCarSignal is the AI Operating System for Auto shops. CarSignal provides a complete end to end operating system for mechanics and shop owners. We’re live in over 40 shops across 18 US states and are expanding everyday. \n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/uXUU006Smeo\u003e\n\n🤯 **The Problem**\n\nThe average auto repair shop in the US runs across multiple different systems, none of which talk to each other. With over 300,000 of these shops existing in the US, the problem is vast. Owners are trapped paying for a web of complex disjointed software in order to maintain basic functionality. \n\n🛠️ **The Solution**\n\nCarSignal fixes those discontinuities, streamlining recurring tasks that every shop runs daily. We deploy four Agents across the traditional auto shop stack to boost efficiency and lower lift time. A voice agent is deployed as the shop's receptionist, a custom OBD-II scanner provides factory level context to a diagnostic agent who aids in finding root cause issues in the vehicle. CarSignal also provides an estimate agent who finds real parts and labor times across wholesalers to give accurate estimates instantly, and a marketing agent who keeps track and reminds customers of overdue service and scheduled maintenance.\n\n👋 **Team**\\\nMichael Muzzin - UCLA Electrical Engineering, ex-Nvidia\n\nJunaid Popalzai - UC Berkeley EECS, ex- {Tesla, Amazon, Notion, Netflix}\n\n**Our Ask**\\\nIf you know a mechanic, or are a mechanic, book a demo!
