Uwe Kleinschmidt
CEO
Founder and former CEO of AutoVitals, whose products empower shops to provide motorists with trusted
education about their vehicle needs. As a result, Motorists' approval rate for proposed work tripled
and
increased the reliability and longevity of their vehicles significantly.
With AutoTechIQ I am
committed to take it to the next level. Motorists will be able to educate themselves before they visit
a
shop and are confident to discuss the fixes needed with the shop they trust, based on a digital bill
of
health provided by the shop.
