Company launches 'Expedia' for auto repairs
A new, free Web site, www.prundo.com, has been recently launched to help its registered users save money on their auto repairs. The patent-pending Web site includes tools to help its registered members in deciding where to take their cars for maintenance and repairs.
Prundo.com is like an "Expedia" for auto repair, the company states. Based on Web 2.0 concepts and philosophy, Prundo.com will empower its members to make the best choices for servicing and repair needs of their cars, the company adds.
Prundo members can download money-saving coupons for more than 30 types of car repair, including brake, oil change, transmission and tires.
Prundo.com will also offer following benefits to its members:
View available auto repair shops for the desired service in their zip codes
Review special offers from the auto service providers
No need to clip coupons
Compare costs of desired automobile servicing
View user ranking/feedback of the auto repair shop
View distance to the preferred auto repair shop
Get directions to the preferred auto repair shop
"The mission of our company is to make auto repairs easy for our members and remove any doubts they may have," says Prundo CEO Alka Gupta. "We want to help our members get better service on auto repairs and save money at the same time."
There are more than 235 million cars in the U.S. Due to the current state of the economy, people are keeping their cars longer (average of 9 years), thereby requiring routine maintenance and repairs to keep their cars in working condition. U.S. car owners spend approximately $800 per car per year, making auto repairs a $250 billion market, according to the company.
"Prundo is an innovative concept because there are no Web sites currently available to help consumers compare auto services based on cost, distance, offers/discount and quality of service," Gupta aads. "Prundo.com was launched to fill this gap and provide a logical tool for its members."
