The future of independent automotive care

Stop Fixing Breakdowns. Start Preventing Them.

Baylitx pairs custom edge-compute gateway hardware with a real-time telemetry routing engine — turning passive vehicles into sovereign data nodes. Independent repair shops get live diagnostic streams and deliver proactive, trust-driven service before breakdowns happen.

Who we build for

The independent bay — not the dealership.

Family shops, multi-bay independents, and specialist garages. The businesses that service most of the cars on the road, using the least of the data those cars produce.

The structural problem

Vehicle data got locked up.
Repair got reactive.

Modern vehicles generate a continuous stream of chassis health data. Almost none of it reaches the shop that actually services the car. The result is an industry that waits for failure — and drivers who only hear from their mechanic once something has already broken.

Status quoReactive

Dealership data monopolies

OEM diagnostic lockouts route the most valuable information away from the bays doing the majority of the work.

Locked diagnosticsRestricted OBD-II access and proprietary tooling keep independents a step behind on the same vehicle they've serviced for years.
Tow-in economicsThe first signal is a breakdown. Emergency work is stressful, unschedulable, and expensive for everyone in the transaction.
Surprise invoicesDrivers can't see what the technician saw, so every recommendation starts from a deficit of trust.
Lost retentionWithout a live relationship to the vehicle, the shop has no reason to reach out — and no defense when the dealer does.
With BaylitxProactive

Proactive independent care

One non-invasive node per vehicle turns the shop's customer base into a monitored fleet with a shared source of truth.

Live chassis telemetryRaw CAN bus streams parsed at the edge and routed to the bay in real time — no OEM permission required.
Scheduled, not emergencyTrends surface before thresholds trip, converting would-be tow-ins into booked, high-margin repair orders.
Plain-English alertsThe driver portal translates DTCs and sensor trends into visual health reports anyone can read.
Shared shop–driver trustBoth sides see the same data at the same time. Recommendations stop being claims and become evidence.
What changes in the bay

The same shop. A different conversation.

Technician working under a vehicle on a lift in an independent repair shop

Work you scheduled

Trends surface days or weeks ahead of failure, so the vehicle arrives on an appointment instead of a tow truck.

Mechanic explaining a repair to a vehicle owner

Evidence, not claims

The driver sees the same telemetry the technician does, in plain language, before approving any work.

Customers who stay

A live relationship with the vehicle gives the shop a reason to reach out — and a reason to be trusted.
