Columbus, OH, November 06, 2024 — CrashBay, a premier digital marketplace for collision repair solutions for multiple industries, and Good Driver Mutuality (GDM), a cutting-edge disruptive mutual aid platform for collaborative automotive loss sharing, have joined forces to enhance the vehicle repair process. 

The partnership marks a promising new chapter for both companies that have a shared mission: to improve road safety, while making the vehicle repair process faster and maintaining the highest quality and reliability for drivers.

CrashBay's platform provides GDM members with access to carefully vetted repair shops, as well as extensive services, including an online auto repair shop locator, hassle-free payment solutions, and a cloud-based claims portal.

While full API integration is planned for a later stage, the initial phase of the partnership will deliver immediate value by providing a user-friendly, online booking system for repairs. As a result, GDM members can get quick and accurate estimates from shops and have repairs completed on time while reducing the administrative burdens typically associated with vehicle damage claims.

This new collaboration focuses on providing a better customer experience for car owners while allowing GDM to expand its service offerings and deliver added value to its community of responsible drivers.

Good Driver Mutuality’s Director of Mutuality Operation, Dave Clark, noted, “The timing is excellent for our entrance into this very competitive market space. GDM is highly committed to providing our members with a strong network of collision repair shops across the U.S. that can deliver timely, high-quality, lifetime-guaranteed repairs. We are pleased to partner with CrashBay as we share a mutual commitment to providing top-tier customer experiences while leveraging technology to improve the entire repair life cycle.” 

CrashBay CEO John Harvey enthused, “We are incredibly excited to partner with Good Driver Mutuality, a company known for its forward-thinking and innovative approach. Their groundbreaking model for risk sharing struck a chord with us, as we're on parallel paths to revolutionize and enhance business practices. The synergy between our cultures of innovation, coupled with our mutual focus on elevating the client experience, sets the stage for us to achieve extraordinary results together."

CrashBay and GDM are already looking toward the future stages of the partnership, including the eventual rollout of full API capabilities. This integration will further improve the user experience by making repair bookings and the incident management process even more efficient.
