WhoCanFixMyCar is a U.K. online car repair marketplace that matches car owners with local garages and mechanics via a comparison service. Launched in 2011 by Al Preston and Ian Griffiths, the platform lets drivers post jobs and receive quotes, with emphasis on lead generation and review comparison. It operates offices in Newcastle upon Tyne, London and Kiev and currently has 11,500 garages registered. The company says it has processed one million repair requests and receives about 60,000 new job requests per month. WhoCanFixMyCar reports that single-site garages average roughly 600 new customers per year through the platform, while top regional groups secure 3,000–4,000 bookings annually. With the new capital the company plans to scale in the U.K., develop new products and solutions to benefit its garage network, and improve the customer experience for car maintenance and repairs. WhoCanFixMyCar.com is a Newcastle upon Tyne–based digital marketplace that connects drivers with locally registered garages for servicing and repairs. Drivers specify a service or repair and receive detailed estimates from multiple garages, then select a provider based on location, price, availability or customer feedback. The platform provides garages with incremental business through a no-fee marketing channel. The company plans to develop and expand its range of services to UK drivers and garages. Founded by Ian Griffiths and Alistair Preston, the site has been used by over 118,000 customers to date. The business recently secured equity funding to accelerate growth and expand its service offerings.
