Our Mission

To meet the technology needs of the shops and DIY mechanics who keep society running.

At Repair Surge, our values are probably similar to yours. We believe in fairness, honesty, and hard work. And like you, we aim to solve real problems for real people.

Back in 2003, our company was born just down the road from a Michigan auto manufacturing plant. We've grown since then, mostly thanks to our amazing users and the feedback they've given us over the years.

We still have just one priority. To deliver maximum value to shops and DIY mechanics. We like to keep things simple that way.
