BookServicing is a platform to help customers find the trustworthy car service centers, which provide quality service and higher customer satisfaction.
The automobile after sales industry is very irrational. There are range of solutions available from road side mechanic/ garage to well established workshops. Naturally the range of service quality also varies to a large extent. With over 2 million cars getting added to Indian roads every year, there is always a look out for better workshops for car maintenance.
The general customer behavior is to find out service centers through search engine, and check their review before availing the service. The positive review appears to be sponsored and the negative ones to be rivals work. Less than 20% seems to be genuine. There is hardly any option to associate the authenticity to these reviews. There was a need or rather a lack of platform where a customer can find authentic reviews.

Like most entrepreneurs, they faced their share of challenges as well, in terms of talent hunt, infrastructure, company compliances. The biggest challenge that they faced was to make a dent in the ecosystem and infuse their solution. Most entrepreneurs face this issue, but BookServicing is trying to create a change in the ecosystem. Most of the service centers were reluctant in the beginning to give up the traditional way of doing service. Some were hesitant for reviews, but after answering all of the FAQ and numerous follow-ups later, it is the confidence they had in their solution that had  helped them win the trust of their service providers.
