Yea... It's brand new so as more users sign up and offer up repair shops
and driveway spots it'll full out nicely. Most of the info is crowdsourced
so the more people we get the more info can be populated into the database.
I can't wait to see where we're at in a year!
Feel free to submit your area repair shops that you trust... It'll be
appreciated
Exciting!
