Redefining the future of automotive service

Our journey began with the trailblazing team that invented Mobile Service at Tesla. After witnessing the program's success, we wanted to deliver the same convenience, reliability, and expertise to customers of other manufacturers and brands. So, we built Curbee. 

Curbee is the only B2B mobile car care service platform that integrates directly into dealer’s existing dealer management software, enabling them to offer a white-labeled streamlined mobile service experience that increases customer satisfaction and generates new revenue streams. From DMS-integrated booking to training your employees how to deliver mobile service, Curbee equips dealerships to deliver exceptional mobile car care while maximizing efficiency and profitability.

The Curbee platform is built on our team’s years of experience handling millions of mobile service jobs, EVs and ICEs across diverse conditions, logistical challenges, and technical configurations. It was tested with more than 20,000 services completed across 9000 Consumers and 1,100 fleet and partner vehicles to optimize its service offerings for dealers.  

At Curbee, our goals align with yours—excellent customer satisfaction, maximized revenue, and sustainable profitability and success for your dealership.
