Delivery partners on Openbay+ match instantly with multiple local automotive service professionals that can service their vehicle, Openbay said. Some of the more popular services requested on Openbay+ include oil changes, fluid replacements, brake services, suspension, diagnostic services (check engine light) and OE-recommended maintenance.

Openbay+ provides a variety of service professionals on its platform to select from, including mobile mechanics that will service a vehicle at the delivery partner’s home, independently owned and operated service centers, national name-brand and franchise businesses, national corporate brands and franchise dealerships. Verified customer ratings and reviews for each service professional are also presented alongside location info, amenities, shop hours and specialized automotive certifications so that delivery partners can choose the professional that best fits their needs and preferences.
