CarShifu Disrupts the Traditional Automotive Service Industry, Reinventing the Future of Service with AI
1. Unique Value Proposition
CarShifu’s unique mobile on-site service model focuses on minimizing business downtime and reducing losses for commercial vehicle customers. Additionally, we help regular users save valuable time, giving them more opportunities to spend with their families in their busy daily lives. By adopting an innovative service approach, CarShifu is transforming the traditional car service industry into a more convenient and efficient new business model.
2. Market Opportunity
As the Malaysian government gradually phases out gasoline subsidies, the demand for commercial electric vans (EV Vans) is expected to surge. CarShifu is currently the only company in Malaysia offering on-site maintenance services for EV Vans, effectively meeting the substantial needs of major clients like Poslaju and DHL. According to data from the Malaysian government, registrations of EV commercial vehicles are rapidly increasing, particularly for brands like CAM, Weststar Maxus, and Foton. This market trend presents CarShifu with unprecedented growth opportunities.
3. Customer Testimonials
CarShifu currently delivers on-site services to numerous well-known companies in Malaysia, including Socar, J&T, Poslaju, DHL, Yinson, and CAB. These companies have experienced significant operational benefits and convenience through CarShifu’s services, greatly enhancing their vehicle management efficiency.
Case Studies
Courier Companies: For example, Poslaju and DHL no longer need to send large fleets to repair shops, successfully reducing downtime and operating costs, thereby enhancing logistics efficiency.
Socar: Maintenance was a significant challenge for Socar due to vehicles being parked at different locations. CarShifu's on-site services effectively resolved this issue, ensuring vehicles are always in optimal condition, significantly boosting operational efficiency.
4. Scalability
Service Expansion to Other Regions or Countries
CarShifu is not limited to providing services in Malaysia; we have already begun expanding our business into Thailand. In collaboration with VI Wellness in Singapore, we are developing CarShifu in Thailand. Additionally, we have established a related company, CarShifu Africa, in South Africa, with Jessica and Gerrit leading the financing plan. We have also received a partnership interest from the Vietnamese private equity firm Vũ Bích Thủy, further extending our global business reach.
5. Technology Integration

This collaboration model not only significantly enhances service convenience but also generates substantial passive income for CarShifu, strengthening the business’s sustainability.
