A Former Shop Owner’s Vision for Smarter Collision Repair
Travis Johnston is the founder and CEO of BainbridgeAI, a company building purpose‑built AI platforms, he says, for industries where generic tools fall short.
A former body shop owner with over 30 years in collision repair, Johnston has focused on streamlining estimating, insurer negotiations, and reducing administrative burdens for shop owners and technicians.
Collision CoPilot is an AI add‑on for auto body and collision repair shops, that embeds collision‑specific playbooks, laws, and reference data into the AI assistants you already use.
