Revv has received $20 million in funding to support the company’s platform, which aggregates data to provide actionable repair packages for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), according to a press release

Left Lane Capital led this round of funding, the release says. It adds that Revv also will continue to receive funding from Soma Capital, 1984, and Agalé Ventures. 

The platform is tackling challenges the auto repair industry faces as the complexity of repairs on modern vehicles escalates with 92% of new vehicles equipped with ADAS, the release says. 

“Revv was born in an auto repair shop, where founder Adi Bathla, an early Product Leader at Misfits Market, observed the difficulties technicians faced with increasingly software-dependent vehicles,” the release says. “Together with Rashmi Sinha, an engineer with a shared passion for modernizing offline industries, they developed a platform that not only tackled the technical demands but also captured the invaluable, intricate OEM data sitting in the brains of the most experienced technicians.” 

Bathla, Revv CEO and co-founder, says in the press release that skilled technicians struggle with the myriad of repair procedures and rulesets that vary by make, model, and trim. 

“These challenges weren’t just technical; they directly undermined business efficiency and profitability,” Bathla says. “Recognizing the need for a change, we devised a system that exponentially cut down the research time for ADAS repairs.”

The platform uses advanced large language models to condense hours of diagnostic research into seconds, the release says. Aggregated data is collected from over 60 sources. 

According to the release, the hardware-agnostic system integrates with all shop equipment. It says the full estimation software suite ensures immediate access to essential diagnostic information. An embedded feedback loop from technicians enables continuous self-learning and improvement. 

Revv has expanded to more than 2,100 repair locations in its first 16 months, the release says. 

“The platform’s ability to identify ADAS repair opportunities at the beginning of repair workflows has been pivotal to this growth, enabling shops to capitalize on these opportunities and significantly boost revenue for vehicles already on site,” the release says. 

One company was able to expand from one location to 37 shops in four months after it started using Revv, the release says. Another shop increased revenue by 75% in nine months by making ADAS repairs a core part of their business model. 

The platform can be used by body, collision, paint, dent and repair, calibration, and mechanical shops, the release says. 

“Revv ADAS has quickly become an indispensable tool for us,” Mike Stuver, Complete Collision Solutions chief operating officer, said in the release, “The whole experience has been positive, from ease of setup to ease of use. It’s rare to see such quick adoption with new technology, but that has been the case for us.”

Dan Ahrens, Left Lane Capital’s managing partner, said his company did an extensive market analysis of AI applications that solve problems and add value to the end customers. 

“Revv is among the strongest we’ve seen,” Ahrens said. “They’ve built a solution that demonstrates a deep understanding of industry needs, positioning them as an essential platform for modern vehicle repairs. Their team is exceptional, and we are excited to partner with them long-term.”

The platform recently introduced auto-quoting and advanced documentation tools, according to the release. 

“Our vision extends beyond diagnostics,” said Bathla in the release. “We are committed to building a comprehensive 360-degree repair solution that serves shops of all sizes globally. By maximizing value at each location, we aim to help the entire repair industry navigate the increasing complexity of modern vehicles, ensuring safer cars and supporting repair shops to thrive in this new era.”
