We’re Carma, a Y Combinator-backed, first-of-its-kind marketplace platform for commercial fleets to get correct car repair, fast and fair. Our mission is to solve the massive $573B problem with commercial auto repair – difficulty for commercial fleets to efficiently shop for automotive service and difficulty for auto repair shops to attract customers.

Carma is a B2B managed marketplace for commercial fleet owners to get same-day automotive repair for any vehicle with instant transparent offers and guaranteed pricing. Every year, fleet owners spend $573B on auto repairs globally.
