Chief Executive Officer

Company Overview

ClearMechanic is the leading after-sales software provider for automotive dealerships and workshops in Latin America, with customers in 25 countries and recommendations from major brands including General Motors, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Stellantis, Hyundai, and more.

Our flagship product, Workshop Management, digitalizes the workshop process from appointment scheduling, through inspection and estimate approval, to repair and vehicle delivery. This product provides both a mobile and web app to workshop personnel, including Service Advisors and Technicians, to eliminate paper-based workflows.

Building on our success with Workshop Management, we have developed a second product: the Aftersales CRM, launching in late 2025 in collaboration with General Motors. This product helps dealerships manage their Business Development Centers (BDCs), where personnel call and message clients to increase service appointments.
