For people who know how to fix things

GOOD REPAIR SHOPS
SHOULD GET PAID
TO REPAIR.

We’re developing an independent repair provider network. The goal: more qualifying repairs that make economic sense for owners and for the people doing the work.

Join the provider interest list

The proposed network

YOUR SKILLS.
MORE USEFUL
YEARS.

Independent shops. Shared purpose.

Providers would remain independent businesses. The network is intended to grow beyond any one shop, with customer choice and future geographic expansion.

Fair work. Fair compensation.

Approved repairs would use documented, fair market pricing. The owner contribution and incentive together would cover the agreed repair amount.

Clear standards before participation.

Proposed standards cover diagnosis, written quotes, workmanship, privacy, safe repair, customer communication, and a transparent approval process.

No shortcuts for related businesses.

Any provider related to a founder, director, or officer would be subject to conflict disclosures, independent review, pricing safeguards, and board oversight.

Interest is not an appointment.

Joining this list does not approve a provider or guarantee referrals, exclusivity, repair volume, or revenue. Formal standards and agreements are still in development.

LET’S TALK.

We’re starting around San Diego County, but we’d like to hear from independent shops interested in the broader idea.

Provider participation is not yet open. This form registers interest so we can share relevant updates as the network develops.
