Partner with GarageTouch

Service more customers, with ease. We handle marketing and logistics while you do more of what you do best.

No contracts. No price controls. No forced volume.

Not a marketplace. A controlled operating system for vehicle service.

This isn't another marketplace. Marketplaces chase volume. GarageTouch already owns demand. That single difference changes everything.

Structural Advantages

Existing Member & Fleet Demand

Work doesn't come from bidding wars or algorithm rankings. It comes from a closed network of vehicle owners and managed fleets who already trust the system. Demand is pre-qualified, not manufactured.

Vehicle-Level Data & Lifecycle Insight

Every service request is informed by the vehicle's complete history—not just what the customer remembers. This means accurate scoping, fewer surprises, and jobs matched to your actual capabilities.

Human Service Advisor Layer

A trained advisor sits between the customer and your shop. They translate needs, set expectations, and filter requests. You receive work orders, not confused inquiries.

Closed-Loop Payments & Logistics

Payment is handled before you lift a wrench. Parts sourcing, pickup, and delivery are coordinated through the system. You focus on the work, not the chase.

GarageTouch Academy

Technician Supply

Training pipeline that produces qualified technicians. When you need to scale, you're not competing in a talent desert—you're accessing a curated supply.

Have Questions?

Here are some questions serious operators ask:

Is GarageTouch just another marketplace?

No.

Traditional marketplaces resell leads, optimize for volume, and force providers to compete on price and speed.
Over time, that model erodes margins, increases noise, and attracts low-intent customers.


GarageTouch works differently. Work is routed from an existing member base and managed fleets,
not purchased traffic or resold leads. Routing uses vehicle-level data and lifecycle context, combined with human
oversight, to ensure fit before a job reaches a provider.


There is no bidding, no ranking, and no discount pressure built into the system.

Will GarageTouch pressure my pricing over time?

No.

You set your prices, define your service scope, and control how your operation is positioned. GarageTouch does not
undercut pricing, run platform-wide discounts, or algorithmically pressure providers to lower rates.


Pricing control is a structural rule, not a temporary policy. If pricing authority were removed from providers, the
model would stop working for high-quality operators—so it is protected by design.

Do I have to accept every job?

No.

You choose which jobs to accept and which to decline. Declining work carries no penalties and does not negatively
affect future routing.


The system assumes professional operators will say no when a job does not fit their capacity, standards, or service
scope. This is how quality is preserved across the network.

Who owns the customer relationship?

You do, for the service performed.


GarageTouch manages logistics, payment flow, and escalation support, but does not hide or replace the servicing
provider. Customers are informed about who is servicing their vehicle and where responsibility lies.


The platform supports the transaction—it does not erase your brand or position itself between you and your work.

How does GarageTouch prevent bad jobs or unrealistic customers?

GarageTouch routes work using vehicle-level context, not vague form submissions or generic service requests.


Work orders account for vehicle details, service history, and lifecycle timing. In addition, human Service Advisors help
set expectations, clarify scope, and intervene early when friction appears.


This reduces last-minute surprises, unrealistic demands, and disputes that typically fall on providers in marketplace models.

How do payments work?

GarageTouch operates closed-loop payments.


Invoices, customer payments, and provider payouts are managed inside a single system. This reduces payment ambiguity,
minimizes customer follow-ups, and lowers the risk of chargebacks caused by misaligned expectations.


Providers spend less time chasing money and more time completing work.

Are there contracts or long-term commitments?

No long-term contracts.

Partners remain in the system because the work fits their operation and the administrative burden is lower—not because
they are locked in by contractual obligation.


If the system stops delivering value, providers are free to leave.

Will GarageTouch ever compete with my business?

No.

GarageTouch does not operate service shops, perform repairs, or employ technicians over vendors. It does not take work
in-house or position itself as a service provider.


The platform grows only when service partners grow. Competing with vendors would undermine the entire model.

What role does GarageTouch Academy play for vendors?

GarageTouch Academy is a technician development pipeline, not a staffing agency.


The Academy trains technicians to GarageTouch standards and workflows so they are operationally ready. Vendors may choose
to hire Academy alumni, but retain full control over hiring decisions, pay structure, supervision, and employment terms.


GarageTouch does not assign labor, set wages, or manage technicians once hired.

What types of service providers are a good fit?

GarageTouch is a good fit for providers who:
<ul>
<li>Run standards-driven operations</li>
<li>Care about margins, consistency, and reputation</li>
<li>Want cleaner growth with less administrative overhead</li>
<li>Are selective about the work they take</li>
</ul>

Who is not a good fit?

This is not a fit if you:
<ul>
<li>Compete primarily on cheapest price</li>
<li>Want unlimited volume regardless of quality or fit</li>
<li>Rely on churn-heavy lead volume</li>
<li>Prefer algorithm-only dispatch with no human oversight</li>
</ul>

What happens if something goes wrong with a job?

GarageTouch Service Advisors step in to manage communication, reset expectations, and resolve issues before they escalate.


Providers are not left alone to handle disputes through a chat thread or rating system. The advisor layer exists specifically
to protect execution quality and reduce unnecessary conflict.

Simple Pricing, Everything Included.

GarageTouch charges a 30% Service Fee on the transaction total (labor, parts, and any line items billed to the customer) to fund the operating layer:

Customer Acquisition

from an existing member base and managed fleets

Efficiency at Scale

Scheduling, updates, and customer communications

Secured Billing

Invoicing, payment collection, and payout operations

Dedicated Support

Service Advisor escalation support (when things get messy)

This replaces time and costs you spend on sales, marketing, admin, collections, and dispute handling — streamlining your entire shop operation for maximum efficiency.

Your Pricing Stays Yours. The service fee is for the operating layer—routing, logistics, support, and payments.

Why the Service Fee?

GarageTouch is not a lead marketplace and not an ad platform.


The service fee funds a complete transaction and protection system:

<ul>

<li>Centralized billing and payment processing</li>

<li>Verified service records tied to the vehicle</li>

<li>Member rewards and loyalty infrastructure</li>

<li>Dispute handling and transaction support</li>

<li>24-month / 12,000-mile Service Warranty on services paid through GarageTouch</li>
</ul>

You’re paying for clean transactions, reduced post-service friction, and member protection—not exposure.

Why the Service Fee is 30%?

Because this system replaces entire cost centers, not just lead generation.

For most shops, growth usually means:
<ul>
<li>Paying for marketing that doesn’t convert cleanly</li>
<li>Spending admin time on scheduling, updates, and follow-ups</li>
<li>Chasing payments or absorbing chargebacks</li>
<li>Handling disputes that burn time and goodwill</li>
</ul>


GarageTouch consolidates those costs into a single operating layer.
The 30% Service Fee funds:


<ul>
<li>Owned demand (members and fleets, not paid leads)</li>
<li>Vehicle-level routing that reduces bad jobs</li>
<li>Human Service Advisors who prevent and resolve issues</li>
<li>Closed-loop payments with automatic payout</li>
</ul>


For many providers, the net economics are comparable—or better—than acquiring and servicing the same work independently,
with significantly less overhead and risk.



This is not a markup on your work. 
It’s the cost of running the system that keeps the work clean.

Is the 30% fee negotiable?

No.

The Service Fee is fixed to ensure the system operates consistently across vendors. Variable or negotiated fees would reintroduce marketplace dynamics, which this model is designed to avoid.

Do I ever have to pay GarageTouch out of pocket?

No.

GarageTouch collects payment from the customer and automatically pays you net of the Service Fee. There is no separate invoice, remittance, or monthly billing.

Can the Service Fee change later?

No surprise changes.

If pricing were ever adjusted, it would be communicated clearly in advance. GarageTouch Service Providers are not locked into long-term contracts and retain full control over participation.
