10th February, 2017 Chennai: Chennai-based Automobile Services platform, GoBumpr, has raised $300k in funding led by The Chennai Angels. Digitizing Auto services from the Auto-hub of India, GoBumpr.com (run by Northerly Automotive Solutions Private Limited) is an end-to-end pitstop for car and bike owners to find, book & pay for automobile services at a click of the button. The investment round was led by Mr. Mahalingam K (Partner, TSM Group) who owns and operates South India’s oldest and largest used cars business. GoBumpr raised a round of funding from Keiretsu Forum Chennai Chapter six months back.

They don’t have computers or laptops but all of them have smartphones with internet. GoBumpr is connecting the India 2 service mechanics supply with the India 1 customer demand” said Mr. Girish Mathrubootham (CEO, Freshdesk) speaking at an event “Reaching Out to Mobile Indians”, who has also invested in the startup.

“Our vision is to make life easy for both vehicle owners and service mechanics leveraging technology. With our initial success in Chennai & Coimbatore so far, this round of funding will help us strengthen our market presence, expand to other cities and boost our technology platform with a focus on creating richer consumer experience” said Mr. Karthik Venkateswaran of GoBumpr.

GoBumpr is a ‘go-to’ pitstop for end-to-end car and bike service needs right from regular servicing, repair jobs, body works – denting, tinkering & painting to 24*7 on-road assistance. GoBumpr.com also provides door-step car wash, engine oil change, tyres and battery replacement services.

With over 40,000+ customers and 1200+ service mechanics on board, GoBumpr transforms the automobile servicing process into a seamless & hassle-free experience with real-time tracking of vehicle service status till payment and delivery. GoBumpr also provides automated service reminders to vehicle owners. GoBumpr is currently available in Chennai, Coimbatore and has made a soft launch in Bangalore.

Founded in the year 2007, it is comprised of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders with a track record of starting and scaling large enterprises. Additionally, several seed and venture capital firms hold institutional membership in the group. Though it is located in Chennai, TCA’s investing members and portfolio investments are not limited by geography.
