Openbay is an award-winning online automotive service platform and marketplace that connects vehicle owners with local repair shops and service providers, offering upfront estimates, online booking, messaging, and payment. Its consumer marketplace lets drivers compare and book automotive repair and maintenance, while Openbay+ embeds that commerce into partner and OEM channels and Openbay Otis provides a SaaS platform for repair shops. Backed by a16z and GV, the company was added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio lead; this pass found no publicly accessible self-serve developer API surface (the marketing site and consumer app are Cloudflare-protected and expose no real /.well-known documents or llms.txt).
