Company Description

The Car Savior is an online car repair marketplace designed to make car repairs faster, easier, and more convenient for drivers and the mechanics. Drivers can go to the Car Savior website or app and describe their car problems through an online questionnaire, and the Car Savior’s proprietary diagnostic algorithm determines the most likely problem(s). Using the diagnostic information, the Car Savior provides drivers with quotes for nearby vetted and independent mechanics with scheduling availability. The platform aims to help mechanics by providing them with the benefit of knowing how long each repair should take and thus helping schedule their time more efficiently. The Car Savior founder, Christiaan Best, has previously founded and scaled a startup. Prior to Car Savior, he founded and led Green Revolution Cooling, later transitioning to CTO, where he received approval for multiple patents.

Perks

That means, in connection with equity financing of at least $1 million, the company has the option to convert the Crowd Note into non-voting preferred shares (Conversion Shares) at a price based on the lower of (A) a 20% discount to the price per share paid for Preferred Shares by investors in the Qualified Equity Financing or (B) the price per share based on a $3 million valuation cap (instead of $3.8 million).
