The Mechanic Shortage Is Real. Your Margins Don't Have to Take the Hit.
Baylitx installs during a routine service and turns every vehicle into a living sensor health record. Your junior techs finally see what your best master tech already knows — before the customer feels a problem.

Time-Based Reminders Are Failing Independent Shops.
Clinical Sensor Alerts Don't.
The Calendar Problem
Most shop systems still run on calendars and mileage. They tell you it's time for a 5,000-mile service because the sticker says so. They have no idea the battery has been sitting at 11.9 V for four straight days or that injector balance is drifting under load.
The result is the same every week: surprise breakdowns, angry customers, and work that could have been predicted and sold.
The Baylitx Difference
Carfax does one job well — it tells the next buyer about accidents and title problems. It was never built to show the continuous sensor story that actually predicts the next repair. That structural blind spot has left independent shops with no visibility between visits.
Baylitx closes the gap. Our current prototype is already pulling live CAN bus data from a 2017 Toyota Corolla LE, streaming directly to Cloud Run and BigQuery. The mass-production hardware path is fully designed and cost-optimized.
Engineering Trajectory
Prototype Phase (Today): Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH + Waveshare CAN FD on Corolla-01.
Mass Production (Next): Custom, pre-designed commercial OBD2 modules ready for bulk deployment across hundreds of independent shops.
Three Ways Baylitx Transforms Your Shop
Built for independent shops running 2–15 bays on tight margins. Every feature is designed for the real shop floor.
Data Democratization — Giving Junior Techs a Master Tech's Memory
The biggest constraint in your shop isn't bays or parts. It's experience. Senior techs carry years of pattern recognition in their heads. When they leave or retire, that library walks out the door. Baylitx externalizes it.
Every vehicle with a Baylitx device builds a longitudinal sensor history attached to the VIN. A junior tech opening a ticket on a 2018 F-150 doesn't start from zero. They see the exact misfire counts under load from the last 90 days, the battery voltage trend, and the harsh-braking events that correlate with customer complaints. The experience curve flattens. Your shop stops depending on one person's gut.
Predictive Retention — Clinical Intervention Before the Customer Notices
Most shops still operate reactively. A customer comes in because something feels wrong. Baylitx flips the model.
Real sensor thresholds trigger alerts that actually matter. When a battery voltage drops below 12.2 V and stays there for five consecutive days, the system knows that vehicle is heading for a no-start. Your team gets a clear alert with the vehicle's full context and a one-tap SMS-to-booking flow. You call the customer because you saw the problem forming — not because the calendar said it was time. That single proactive intervention protects your relationship and fills the bay with high-margin work the customer is genuinely grateful for.
The Living Vehicle Passport — What Carfax Structurally Cannot Show
Carfax tells the next owner the car was in an accident. It cannot tell them the battery has been weak for six months, the suspension is seeing repeated harsh events, or that this driver's habits are destroying the transmission. That missing longitudinal health layer is exactly what buyers, sellers, and insurers need.
Baylitx generates a clean, VIN-attached Vehicle Health Report at any moment — $24.99 resale-grade document that shows actual sensor performance over the monitored life of the car. For your shop it becomes a retention and upsell tool. For the used-car market it fills the largest blind spot in vehicle history. The data follows the car forever, controlled by the owner, portable between Home Shops.
