Automotive software for smarter vehicle ownership

Gearbox Technologies is a software company based in Opelika, Alabama. We believe safe and affordable car ownership should be realistic. GRBX and BayNerve are live today, with Forge in development.

Car maintenance is still managed by memory.

Service history lives in gloveboxes, on oil-change stickers, and in half-remembered dates. When something gets missed, the cost doesn’t disappear. It shows up later, and it grows.

44%
Miss maintenance

44% of drivers are behind on tire rotations, and 29% on oil changes.

$1,520
Annual cost

Average annual maintenance and repair spend per vehicle, much of it driven by problems caught late.

59%
Multi-car homes

Each with its own service history, recalls, and reminders to keep straight.

If you skip a service the financial hurt rarely arrives that day. It comes later as a breakdown, a bigger repair, or a car you stop trusting. GRBX keeps track, so you don’t have to.

Ownership is getting more expensive.

Cars are lasting longer and repairs cost more, so a service skipped today becomes a much larger bill down the road.

People are ready for AI help.

Drivers already paste warning lights and odd noises into chatbots. GRBX answers with context from their actual car and service history.

The information is fragmented.

Automaker apps, shop receipts, recall lookups, and reminders all live in different places. None of them add up to one history a family can use.

Flagship product · GRBX

Three workflows, one vehicle assistant.

01

Maintenance tracking

See what’s due, what’s overdue, and what you already took care of. Oil changes, tire rotations, and routine service in one timeline.

02

AI assistant

Ask about a noise, a warning light, or a recall and get a straight answer. Walk into the shop already knowing what you need.

03

Vehicle history

Keep records and notes organized by vehicle, and manage every car in the household from one place.

AI Assistant
There’s a recall notice on my truck. What does it actually mean?
It’s an open safety recall for the brake booster, and it’s covered free at any dealer. You’re also due for a tire rotation in about 600 miles. Want me to add both to your next visit prep?
Ask about your vehicle…

The vision

One record for the life of the vehicle.

Owner side

GRBX

Maintenance, recalls, AI assistant, and service history, for everyday drivers and families.

Shared layer

The Vehicle Record

Each user gets an organized record per vehicle; what was due, done, and what is next.

Ecosystem

Repair, resale & beyond

A complete owner record can carry into repair prep, resale, insurance, and the shop.

Every car added to GRBX makes its record more complete. We start with the owner, where the information matters most and rarely gets written down.

A smarter way to manage vehicle maintenance.

Preventable breakdowns cost drivers billions every year, and most of it comes down to timing and information rather than mechanical complexity. GRBX puts maintenance, recalls, and history in one place, explains them in plain language, and uses AI to help drivers act before small problems turn expensive.

Our goal is to be the first place a driver checks for anything about their car: fewer surprise breakdowns, longer vehicle life, and better resale value.
