Today, Jerry is the No. 1 rated and most downloaded app in its category and saves customers an average of $800 a year.

Art’s leadership, passion, and relentless focus on customer experience results in strategic partnerships, sales, and industry-leading customer satisfaction.

Previously, Art founded and led the on-demand car repair services provider YourMechanic, the 2012 winner of TechCrunch Disrupt. As CEO, he grew YourMechanic from an idea to the largest company in its industry, with more than 2,000 mechanics making housecalls in all 50 states.
