😡The Problem: Fleets HATE getting vehicle repair!
It’s a time-draining hassle to get vehicle repair for fleets – a lack of price transparency makes U.S. fleets lose $37 billion each year due to improper or unnecessary vehicle repairs. Based on recent industry statistics, service centers overcharge fleets 85% of the time, leaving fleets overpaying an average of 68% more than what they actually should based on the fair cost of service. The worst part: there’s not much the average fleet management team can do – most fleets rely on minimal spares and don’t have the time to price shop for quotes. 80% of fleet managers don’t know what fair auto repair pricing looks like for non-routine repairs.
💲The Solution: Carma
Carma gets fleets prioritized same-day service offers with guaranteed, locked-in pricing. Fleet managers request any service they need through Carma, which we send to our highly rated and vetted local service center Partner Centers, who respond with real-time offers. Fleet can compare multiple same-day service offers in just 60 seconds or less. Carma handles the transaction with zero fees – no marked-up prices or “convenience” charges – you pay the service center’s in-store price or better.
Fleets save upwards of 50% when they use Carma vs. the median price for the same service in their zip code. It takes just 30 seconds to add a car to your profile and request service.
